+6Kristin was awesome to work with, from our first conversation on the phone I knew she was someone that loves this breed as much as I do! From sending me pictures and videos of my new baby girl to the day we got to pick her up, Kristin was super and I loved it. Thank you Kristin for the new addition to our family, sweet little Miss Paisley! We love her so much!! 🥰

+8We love our boy so much. He is the perfect addition to our family. He is highly intelligent, energetic, and a lover -and according to everyone who stops us when we're out and about, "just gorgeous." Kristin was awesome to work with too. The perfect breeder. She was fast to communicate and proactively sent picture and video updates throughout the process. You can tell from her pictures and videos how much thought and love she puts towards the puppies from day 1 up until driving him up to meet me near one of the area airports. I would get another puppy from her in a heartbeat and have already shared her information with multiple people. If you're looking for a fun loving companion with a go-go-go attitude look no further.
