    Cherie was wonderful and we couldn't have asked for a more knowledgeable, helpful, attentive, responsive, and kind person! She delivered my pup to my husband at the airport on time and did all the paperwork with him and explained it clearly as well. Her pups are BEAUTIFUL, healthy, very well adjusted, and my little guy is such a happy, bubbly, sweet baby I just love him so! Cherie also followed up afterward to make sure my husband and our puppy got home safe and sound and to see how we were all doing. It was such a good feeling and we would recommend her most definitely to anyone out there looking for a pet and a loving companion!: )

Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
