Our experience was great. We loved all the updated videos and photos as our puppy grew. Jo matched us up with THE perfect puppy. We have had her for about a month now and we couldn’t be happier. Our Cookie has clearly came from an amazing home. She is so loving and incredibly smart. We are seriously thinking about another puppy from Dharma’s in a year or two.❤️
