    Michelle was great. She was always available to answer all our questions. Otis is such a great addition to our family. He is very smart and cuddly. We love him very much, Michelle is a top breeder and would very highly recommend her. Puppies are well taken care of and comes from a loving home.

    I cannot say enough about my experience working with Michelle. The care she took to make this an easy process, and her willingness to accommodate my schedule and needs was like nothing I've ever experienced. I was so impressed with her and how much she does to make sure her puppies are loving and healthy. Her passion for what she does is obvious, and I will definitely get another one of her babies in the future. My sincere thanks Michelle for all you did to make this a smooth and easy process and for my sweet boy. He is the sweetest, most loving baby and has made the perfect companion. I couldn't be happier!!!
