+4Janelle responded quickly to my inquiry about Carly and answered my questions at the meetup, and after I got Carly home. Carly is healthy and was well cared for by Janelle. She gave an accurate description of Carly's personality as an adult dog and it's made the transition and adjustment easier for both of us. Carly is sweet and mellow, with some spunk. Her personality is coming out more each day. She's adjusting well to her new home and is a true delight.

I received my Clover about a month ago and he is the sweetest puppy. I am so happy with the entire process. Janelle was amazing to work with before and after delivering by new baby. I interviewed several breeders and am so happy I choose Clover!!❤️

Janelle’s communication pre-adoption was great; she was always responsive. Janelle delivered our new baby to us at our home, as we live in a city by her. She even brought a bag af items for him, and answered questions. It could not have been a better experience.
