    I had such a wonderful experience with Julie! Even while I was away on vacation and not always quick to respond, she stayed in touch and kept me updated about my puppy. She even asked for his name early on so she could start calling him by it, which was such a thoughtful and personal touch. Scheduling a meet-up to pick him up was super easy and flexible. Now that he’s home, I can honestly say he is the most precious little guy and his coat is the softest I have ever seen or touched! And he has been behaving so well with his older sister. You can truly tell he was well taken care of. I’m so thankful to have found such a caring and communicative breeder. Highly recommend!
