Judie was amazing! She was patient with our questions about the breed and let us take our time getting to know the puppies. She was transparent and very helpful in making the decision to get our little Ozzie boy. He’s been a joyous addition to our family.

Everything went really well. Judie answered all my questions about the cocker spaniel breed and helped me decide on the puppy. We got "Lucy," a seven month-old black and tan female last week and she is a delight.
Lucy would also like to thank Judie for breeding her to be so pretty and so well-tempered!
