    Garry and Rachel were great to work with while adopting Akio. They delivered him and a basket full of toys, food, treats, pads etc. Plus they included a blanket with his parent's scent! Akio is a happy puppy who's making himself at home. Thank you G and R!

    Our recent experience was wonderful. Garry is a man of integrity and honesty. The sire, the dam, and pups are obviously well cared for. The financial arrangements were forthright and professional. Our new pup Ming is healthy, growing and happy. It was a very pleasant experience, we heartily recommend Garry and his dogs.
