    Verified owner · Dec. 2024

    Nick was excellent to work with. He is knowledgeable about his dogs and their pedigree. He answered all of our questions and communicated promptly, even posting pictures so we could see our puppy growing in her early weeks. He showed dedication to providing healthy, gorgeous puppies and we received just what we expected. He worked with us throughout the whole process making our transaction easy and safe, including providing a wonderful transport service. We highly recommend working with Nick Foreman and purchasing one of his wonderful dogs.
