I got my sweet Polly from Crystal, and I couldn’t be happier! Crystal was incredible throughout—she kept me updated with photos and texts, making me feel so ready. Polly came home practically potty-trained—Crystal suggested a grass patch, and it was perfect. I’ve had Polly for a month now, and she is the best girl ever—well-behaved, full of personality, and just perfect all around. If you want a wonderful pup, Crystal is the best! and i couldn’t recommend her more!

Crystal was so easy to work with. She was always very responsive. She made the process very easy and you could tell how much she really loved her dogs and the puppies. Our wonderful dog Baer has transitioned well and is fully integrated. Our girl Lylla welcomed him immediately and they have so much fun each day playing.
