Jacob was very helpful right from the beginning and provided us all the information and answered all questions that we asked. We absolutely love our puppy. The whole process was very simple and easy. We used flight nanny to deliver our puppy. Jacob care about his puppies and was very helpful

+4Jacob was great to work with. You can tell he cares deeply for this breed and his pups. Captain (now Finley) is an incredibly happy, healthy, energetic, loving pup. I feel like we found the perfect little pup to expand our family. I’m very happy we chose Jacob, and that he chose us, when searching for our little guy.

Everything went well with Jacob Flores from Coastal's Miniature American Shepherds. I picked up Toby on Friday 13th since I am not superstious of that date in any way. The hand off went very smooth one could tell Jacob really loves his dogs and it showed. Toby and I had an adventure on the way home, he travels ok in a pet carrier, still is fighting his harness and leash but is getting better each day. I am very happy with my new family member and so are my wife and daughter Toby sleeps with me every night not a peep out of him all night.

You can tell that they really care about the dogs. Jacob responded to any questions I had. Personally I’m super glad that I found responsible people and the best dog that anyone can ever have. Her name is Holly. I’m so grateful for her. I love her 💕

Jacob was awesome and quick to respond. You can tell that he is knowledgeable and cares about his pups. He was flexible and even rescheduled pickup to let us come a day earlier. We love our girl and will definitely consider Coastal’s Miniature American Shepherds if we are ever in the market for another!

Jacob was kind enough to meet us part way to pick up our lovely puppy. Jacob clearly has a passion for the breed. His friendly demeanor made the first meeting with our new family member even more pleasant. He is willing to answer questions as they arise which is very comforting.
