Candi at Epiphany Mastiffs is amazing! She was prompt in responding to any question, big or small. She shared a lot of photos and video every step of the way. When we arrived to pick up our puppy, Candi welcomed us into her home and treated us like family. We were absolutely thrilled, and continue to be amazed by her support and by our little bundle of joy. Epiphany Mastiffs will forever hold a special place in our hearts.
