    Jodi was very easy to communicate with and plan my puppy pick-up. I couldn't be happier with my little Zora. She has the best personality and is so sweet and smart and vibrant. She's friendly to everyone and very adventurous. Truly so in love with her!

    Jodi was great! She replied to all of my questions quickly and thoroughly. When we decided to purchase the pup, she was kind enough to meet us halfway as we lived 3 hours away from her farm. We love our Kodi! He is exactly as he was described and pictured. Would definitely recommend Jodi for anyone considering a dog.

    The puppies are doing well. Tigger is probably going into agility training as she is climbing and jumping everywhere she can. Lady is still sweet but holding her own against Tigger’s never ending energy.

    Jodi was very helpful throughout the whole process and responded quickly to all my questions. I got Scout and fell in love instantly. He is a very smart dog and had no issues when I took him to the vet. Jodi raises some sweet puppies and I am very happy to have gotten my forever best friend through her.
