Sarah F.
Verified owner · May 2025
I’m writing this with the sweetest, cutest, funniest, most loving little creature curled up asleep under my arm. I can hardly believe she’s real. I was incredibly anxious about getting a dog. It’s the second dog I’ve ever had, and my first Chinese crested. Larisa answered my *endless* stream of questions, and in talking to her, my nerves ease. On April 12th, Larisa and her husband met my husband and me, and it was immediately clear how much care and love goes into each one of their pups. We fell in love with our baby right away, and we immediately loved the people who raised her from the day she was born too. We are so grateful we found Dao Dog! You will not find better dogs, and you will not find better people!!! THANK YOU, DAO!!! Sarah, Grant, and Cher
