+4Dianne was very responsive when it came to questions about the puppy and was super helpful in sharing her knowledge with us. You can tell that she really cares for the dogs and keeps them on a good schedule until they find their forever homes. In our experience, our puppy came to us already really well-behaved when it comes to potty training and simple commands. We really appreciated her quick communication and regular updates on the puppy as well! It was really fun to follow their progress on the Facebook page!

Diane was such a joy to work with and I can’t emphasize the love and work she puts into her puppies. She follows the puppy culture method and recommended doing so for when Visi came home and were so glad we did. She is extremely responsive and answered any and all questions we had (which has been a lot) and made the transition to having a puppy in our family that much more seamless. If we ever decide to get another puppy it will definitely be with her!! Thank you again Diane!!

We cannot say enough good things about our experience with this breeder. From the very first message, it was clear how deeply she cares about her dogs and the families they go to. Communication was thoughtful, honest, and consistent throughout the entire process, and every question we had was answered with patience and knowledge. Our puppy came home healthy, confident, and well-socialized — which says everything about the environment he was raised in. You can tell he was handled with love, and given an incredible start in life. His temperament is already so sweet and trusting, and it’s obvious that this breeder prioritizes both physical health and emotional well-being. We would recommend without hesitation, this was such a wonderful experience and the most adorable addition to our family. Thank you Dianne for helping to add a beautiful baby boy to our lives. ❤️
