Meet Sky, a beautiful and confident girl with a personality that commands respect. She’s the kind of dog who knows exactly what she wants and isn't afraid to let you know—whether it's claiming the best spot in the house or leading the pack, she's always in charge.

Meet Wren,
She's our sweet girl with the heart of an old soul. She’s got the energy to run circles around you, but there’s something about her that just gets it—like she’s been around long enough to know the secrets of the universe. She’ll look at you with those wise eyes, as if she’s giving you life advice, but without saying a word. Whether she’s lounging in a sunbeam or giving you the "I know more than you think" stare, you can’t help but feel like she’s got all the answers. She’s goofy, playful, and full of love, but there’s this calm, cool vibe about her, like she’s totally in tune with life. It’s like she’s the spiritual guru of the dog world—minus the robe and sandals, of course.

Kaitlyn was so amazing to work with! When I was searching for my new puppy, I really was looking for someone to talk me through the process and be super responsive and Kaitlyn was just that. She made sure to send me updated photos of the pup every single week and sent me lots of updates with how he was doing before I got him. I am absolutely in love with my puppy and could not imagine life with him. I am so thankful to Kaitlyn and the Dapper Doxies team for bringing me my soul dog.
