    Johnna was the perfect person to buy a puppy from! We drove from Mn and she met us at a location that saved us hours. I 100% will recommend her to others looking for a chihuahua puppy. My Elio (Toby) is the perfect fit!

    Johnna was so very efficient and knew about her dogs. She raised a well behaved, potty trained, crate trained chihuahua. From start to finish she sent videos of our baby girl and kept in constant contact. We kept her name Leia and could not be happier that Johnna was such a good lover of her puppy babies. We got Leia as a companion to our 5yo neutered chihuahua since he lost a sibling last year. Best addition we ever did . Apollo and Leia tire themselves out daily running and tumbling together. Easy to use GoodDog. Secure and safe. Thank you Johnna for making our lives a little more joyous and for raising such a beautiful and great puppy. ❤️Bill and Sara Howard, Chapin, SC
