    Monica made everything so easy for us! She was knowledgeable, friendly, and generous with her time. She also has a lovely family. I couldn’t have hoped to get a puppy from a better breeder and home. Our pup is healthy, socialized, and we are crazy in love with him.

    I had such a great experience with Monica! She is a knowledgeable, kind, & an ethical breeder. From the beginning, she was incredibly responsive & informative, which really helped put me at ease. She sent me updates with videos & pics doing my entire process. My puppy came to me healthy, well-adjusted, & even crate trained—what a dream! Hazel’s been an ABSOLUTE joy to have. My puppy was also eligible to register with the AKC. Hazel is healthy, curious, playful, smart, & just the sweeeeetest girl. I’m so grateful for the care & intention Monica puts into her pups & couldn’t be happier. I will definitely be back to purchase another puppy once I move into my big house. I highly recommend her! 😉✨

    Working with Monica was a very pleasant experience. She was very responsive to any questions that we had. Dobey is it's a sweetest puppy. You can tell that Monica and her family take time with these puppies to ensure that the transition into a new house is very smooth.

    Working with Monica to bring little Echo into our family was such a positive experience. She is an excellent communicator and was dedicated to make sure we were a good fit for her puppy. She sent many updates and was so helpful during the pickup process. She continues to be a resource as questions come up. It's clear to me that Echo came from a nurturing, stimulating, and loving environment. He is confident, inquisitive, and happy to learn new things. We are so happy.
