    We thought it would be a fit in our lives since my husband and I both grew up with dogs and we both love animals.

    Our puppies include mini, medium, and standard sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

    Dan helped raise the best puppy I’ve ever had! Potty training was amazingly easy, puppy had no bad biting or jumping habits, and he has the most friendly and calm demeanor. I’ve never had a puppy this well behaved and laid back! Harvey (originally Rodney) adjusted very well to his kennel, which was very important as we had to acclimate him to other dogs. Harvey is amazing and so careful with children. Dan’s loving home equipped Harvey with the best personality to play so well with people and dogs. Dan made this process so easy, making sure me and Harvey would be most accommodated. All information I needed was communicated quickly and clearly. His response time was very fast and he was so helpful in the decision making process.I would not buy from another breeder after this amazing experience and my amazing puppy.

    Since expressing interest in Charlie, Dan has been extremely responsive and helpful in the process of adopting such a sweet puppy. He happily answered all my questions in depth, provided pictures of him in the time before we picked him up, and provided all the necessary medical records with all the details we could possibly need. Moreover, he checked in frequently even after we adopted Charlie to make sure he was adjusting well, and helped us with everything we needed to get Charlie comfortable at home. I am so happy and grateful to Dan for all his help in bringing such a wonderful, positive pup into our lives.

    Dan was very responsive and knowledgeable from the beginning. He made the process very fluid and simple for us and even waited until our girl was 12 weeks before we picked her up. We went home with the most amazing and intelligent puppy! I would highly recommend getting your puppy from Dan.

    Dan was amazing! He always sent pictures of and videos and answered any questions we might have had. It made us feel so good and happy with our decision. He was even willing to keep her until she was 12 weeks because we weren’t able to get there any sooner. Lola has been great she is very well adjusted and so lovable. You can tell she was well cared for.

    Dan was really great to work with. He was very responsive. I messaged him about his puppies and we were able to arrange a meeting and pickup the same day. Our family drove 2 hours from DC to Pennsylvania where we saw where the puppies were raised. We got to meet our puppy's sibling and mom, as well as Dan's own small children who clearly had a role in caring for the puppies. It was clear that his family loved the puppies and the puppies were very comfortable with his children, and were cuddling with them when we arrived. This was very important to us because we also have 2 small children. We love our new puppy. She’s so loving and sweet and smart, and has the most unique features. She’s is now five months, and happy and healthy.

    We are in love with our new puppy. She is loving, fluffy, wonderful and healthy. Four out of five of our family members are allergic to dogs, but we are not having allergy problems. We appreciated the updates and photos that Dan sent while we waited for our puppy to be ready for pick up. We are grateful for all the care that he and his family gave to raise a healthy puppy. It was an easy process and everything went as we expected.
