Christine was the only breeder I found who chatted on the phone with me prior to securing our pup to make sure she was a good fit for us and vice versa. She gifted us our sweetest girl Aurora all healthy and vaccinated. Would totally recommend!

Christine was wonderful to work with. .We can't thank her enough for eveything she has done. Our questions were answered quickly, day or night... Our puppy Blu is such a beautiful dog. Could not have asked for anything better. Colt Blu is really sweet and smart and has adjusted well in his new home, thanks to Christine for her hard work and dedication to these wonderful Crazy Critters.

Christine was very easy for me to work with. She answered all my questions and offered support after adoption any time day or night. My puppy,Bella, was box trained when I got her. This made the conversion to outside so easy. I would and have recommended her

We picked up little Juniper a couple weeks ago now and she’s been an absolutely great dog. We were lucky to find Christine. She truly cares about her dogs and puppies. and made the whole process easy and informative. Christine is conscientious about where her puppies will end up and is clear that she wants them going to good homes. She puts a great deal of effort into keeping them healthy and happy and also keeping potential owners up to date with their progress and answering any questions that come up.

Christine was wonderful to work with. She was very nice and knowledgeable about the breed. We received a mostly potty trained and very clean pup. Our Red Merle, Peach is adorable and very lovable. She has only gone to the bathroom outside or on the puppy pads so far. We love her already!
