    We are absolutely in love with our smart, sweet, and adorable new family member, Griffin! 🐶 He is the perfect combination of confidence, sweetness, happiness, and intelligence. Heather’s thoughtful advice about using a safe enclosed playpen (with the perfect height recommendation) and a recycled paper litter box helped our family adjust beautifully. It kept Griffin safe from area dogs while helping us keep our home clean and comfortable during those early puppy days. As we introduce Griffin to our friends, family, and even our veterinarian, everyone is amazed by him. Many are now considering adding a puppy to their own families after seeing how wonderful and easy this experience has been. We truly feel like we hit the jackpot and couldn’t imagine a better puppy experience. Griffin has brought so much joy into our lives, and we are so grateful he is part of our family. ❤️🐾

    We cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience working with Heather and Columbia Basin! From start to finish, the entire process was seamless and incredibly reassuring. She was exceptionally communicative, keeping us updated constantly and sending plenty of photos of Teddy (who was originally named Pasquale) so we could watch him grow. What we appreciated most was how deeply she cared about making sure it was the perfect fit—both for our family and for Teddy. Because of her dedication and transparency, there were absolutely no surprises along the way. Teddy has completed our home, and we truly cannot imagine our family without him. If you are looking for a breeder who pours their heart into their dogs and supports you every step of the way, look no further!

    Heather did an amazing job from start to finish of the process. I am a first time dog owner and had a lot of questions. She handled each question with ease and patience. One thing I especially appreciated was that she didn’t over complicate anything! Which helped us relax and feel empowered to take on this journey. The amazing temperament our puppy has was proof that Heather accurately described what kind of puppy he’s turning out to be. Over the last couple of weeks at our home, he has adapted so well to crate training and learning so fast. He is very smart!! And best of all, he’s extremely lovable and a total sweetheart. It makes our hearts melt knowing the fun memories ahead with our beautiful dog. We have been waiting for this day to come for years, to finally be in a place in life to raise a dog, and it couldn’t have been an easier experience. Thank you Heather!!!

    Heather was amazing throughout the whole process of getting our puppy. She was really quick to respond and genuinely cared about our relationship from the start. She was extremely nice and helpful when I had questions as this was my first puppy I got through good dog. Our puppy who we named Pluto, is soooo cute and cuddly and great around my 2 young children. We couldn’t have asked for a more adorable, sweet, happy, loving puppy!! I got really lucky with my choice of breeder and everything has been smooth and easy thanks to Heather. We are so excited for what’s to come with our newest addition to the family!!

    We had a wonderful experience with Columbia Basin Puppies. We picked up our puppy about 1.5 years ago and he has been a wonderful companion. Heather was so helpful while we decided which puppie to take home. It was obvious that Columbia Basin Puppies truly cared about their puppies and wanted them to go to good homes. We are very happy with ours, Suni is full of surprises- good ones. We highly recommend Columbia Basin Puppies to anyone looking for a puppy. They are caring and knowledgeable. Suni has the sweetest personality, is healthy and brings us joy everyday
