    Marissa was so fast to respond. You can tell she loves her Danes. I just lost one of my Danes, so connecting with her and getting little Rigby Madison has been a blessing.

    Marissa was wonderful to work with. She was answered all my questions and was knowledgeable about the breed. It was obvious to me how much she cares about the puppies and parents by how well treated they are. She was very accommodating when it came time for us to arrange pick up and travel. The puppies are gorgeous and healthy.
