All I can say is that Tanya was a pleasure to work with. She got back to me in a timely manner to any questions I had. She went out of her way to helping find a meet-up place that worked for me so I could get the puppy. You can tell she takes great care of her puppies. I would highly recommend getting a puppy from her. Thanks again Tanya for everything.

Tanya was so easy so work with, she was keeping me updated of how my puppy was doing! She even let us meet the parents (lovely pups), and also gave us some goodies to be ready to receive our new baby home!
