Patricia was wonderful, she and her husband drove Arthur to the halfway point to meet us, and we were SO pleased to meet our new little guy! Arthur is an absolute cuddlebug, and though he was very shy at first, he's gained confidence daily, and shows curiosity and intelligence in spades. He's been an amazing addition to our family!

When I first reached out to Patricia regarding adopting Paige, a blue Merle Miniature American Shepherd,she was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. She made me feel very comfortable with the process. It was a 7 hour drive to pick up Paige and Patrica helped me find a place to spend the nite near her. Then when I picked up the puppy, she talked me through the next steps and gave us a well thought out care package. She was thoughtful hospitable and caring thru the entire process. Lastly, she has communicated daily since the adoption to ensure that all is going well and to answer any questions I might have. I would highly recommend her to anyone interested in adopting a puppy. I almost forgot to mention that her puppies all have great bloodlines, are beautiful and well trained. It was a pleasant experience throughout

+4Patricia was amazing! My family and I drove from Texas to go get my little fuzz ball! Patricia made sure that we were going to be comfortable and checked in with me! I loved how personable it was. Made me feel very confident about my choice! She made sure we were all set for the drive with food water puppy pads a toy, the works! Felt like I was at a friends house I havnt seen in a while! Definitely best experience I’ve ever had! Simba is loving it here in Texas and is living his best life!

Adopting Chester, from Patricia was quite the experience. Patricia had raised him with such care, and you could see the love in Chester's eyes when we first met. He was full of energy, bounding around with that signature Aussie enthusiasm. Patricia gave me a rundown of his favorite toys and habits, making the transition smoother. Bringing Chester home felt like adding a new member to the family, and he's been a bundle of joy ever since.

We have loved having our new baby Elsa in the family! She is the sweetest baby and has integrated into our family so smoothly! I cannot recommend Tricia enough and her puppies enough!
