    Dawn was quick to respond and never hesitated to answer any of my questions big or small! She spoke to me and my partner on the phone for 30 minutes answering all of our questions and sharing her knowledge with us. The puppies were obviously loved and well cared for. We travelled over 5 hours to pick up our girl from Dawn! She was healthy, happy, and still is! I would highly recommend Dawn to anyone who is looking for a golden puppy that is coming from a breeder who cares!
