    Working with Dawn was such a wonderful experience! She always replied quickly to questions, sent picture and video updates and was flexible and accommodating regarding pick up. Felix is a curious, spunky and confident little dude and our whole family adores him, including our 2 other dogs!

    Dawn has been the best breeder I have ever worked with! She is so responsive and helpful in ensuring you are getting the latest news on your puppy. She shared so many wonderful updates and cute pictures throughout the process. I am grateful I was able to get my baby Shadow from her. She also sent Shadow home with some gifts to make his transition comfortable!

    Dawn was very professional and very easy to work with. She was more than willing to go out of her way to make sure we could get the puppy at our convenience. She gave us updates prior to receiving the puppy so we wouldn’t miss a thing. She was very knowledgeable about the breed and genuinely cared about her puppies. She even sent us away with a goodie bag for the puppy so she could settle in as smoothly as possible. It goes without say that it was a pleasure to work with Dawn and I would absolutely go to her for another puppy in the future. We couldn’t be happier with our new addition all thanks to Dawn.

    Working with Dawn was great, she responded quick when I had questions or when I asked for photos of the puppy. Her going home gift was very helpful and thoughtful. Our puppy is now living with his big brothers and is running the show now. Definitely excited for this new little journey.
