This was an amazing experience from the moment I sent an inquiry to James about the puppy to the time the puppy was delivered, and I picked him up in Arizona. James was very professional and displayed a genuine love for the breed, Both mother and father and all of the puppies! He sent me updates throughout the process and also provided photos and videos. I am extremely happy with my new fur baby and I want to thank James and his wife for making my dream into a reality!
