+5It was easy to keep in contact with Tonya even after we had our puppy home for a while. She was super helpful. Our puppy Ranger is sooo sweet and loves to play.

We had a great experience with Tonya (Cencal Mini Aussies) as a breeder. From the moment we chose our puppy to the day that we picked him up she stayed in close contact with us. We received so many beautiful pictures and videos of him. So many great memories! we are very grateful for that! When we came to pick him up we could tell that all the puppies and their parents were well taken care of and loved. Tonya gave us a gift basket with all kinds of goodies for our Nova - it was very thoughtful. She checked in with us the next day and then a few days later. This is not our first dog but this was the best experience of getting a puppy, we are very grateful!

Tonya was always there when I questions and wanted pictures. She seemed to be in touch with the breed. Great to work with all the way through the process. I would recommend Cen Cal Aussies to anyone. Great breed.
