Gustavo was amazing to work with when getting my Louie. He was kind, accommodating, informative, and loved all the puppies like his own. Louie (Bingo) has been amazing. I don’t know how I got so lucky with calm, very kind, puppy but he’s been a dream and so handsome!

Gustavo was wonderful to work with! You could tell he genuinely wanted this best for not only the puppies, but you as the customer too. He was very knowledgeable about how to start, and gave us plenty of resources to help. I look forward to getting another beautiful golden from him in the future!
