    Frank was awesome to work with! Always very responsive and answered all of the questions I had. I couldn’t be happier with my puppy-she is so amazing and very courageous. I’ve never had a puppy this brave and even tempered. I sure do love my big girl.

    We had a wonderful experience working with Frank. From the very beginning, the communication was clear, helpful, and honest. Our puppy is absolutely amazing — healthy, beautiful, and with a great temperament. My wife and kids fell in love with him instantly, and he has already become a special part of our family. We’re very grateful for how smooth and professional the whole process was. Highly recommend! Thank you Frank

    We had such a wonderful experience getting our Giant Schnauzer, Maximus, from Down Low Kennels! From the very beginning, they were professional, communicative, and clearly dedicated to raising healthy puppies. They kept us updated with photos and videos before pick-up, answered any questions we had, and made the entire process so smooth. Maximus came home to us on August 1st — and our lives were forever changed. Down Low Kennels even checked in to see how he was adjusting to his new home, and gave us a guide with helpful information regarding care, health, insurance, etc. Maximus is incredibly curious, sweet, intelligent, playful, and we see his bravery and confidence growing. He turns heads and is adored everywhere he goes — and he’s been such an incredible addition to our little family. We highly recommend Down Low Kennels to anyone searching for a reputable, caring breeder who truly loves their dogs.

    Frank was very easy to work with, answered all the questions I had about my pup before pick up. Our dog came very happy and healthy and is very good with our kids. Knix came home clean and groomed and the first night he was such a perfect dog and slept his crate all night with no problem. Everything was handled professionally and we couldn't be happier!

    Frank was fantastic to work with! He answered all my questions in a timely manner in spite of the fact that almost everything I asked was on a sheet in a nice folder of paperwork that came with her arrival. We got a 8 week old girl and we named her Siggy! She is the most awesome dog! Soooooo smart and curious. She is also very brave. She is already claiming up and down stairs. I would highly recommend getting a Giant from Down Low, they are beautiful!!!

    I had a great experience with Frank and transporting my baby to Dallas was a very smooth process. She has a LOT of personality, but is very sweet and loves to meet strangers...(don't know how good that is just yet... lol) I got lucky with her. She came to me healthy and without any issues except airplane sickness, but that's to be expected when a puppy is being transported for the first time.
