    Katherine was very kind and helpful, we met half the way in Temple TX, she educated us all about "We-Wise-Olive" diet, Olive enjoy carrots and broccoli. Ms. Katherine also provided name of items need it to facilitate Wise' independence and offer other nice services. We had been mourning our pets Narciso and Rebekah before picking up Wise. She came to enrich our lives...she is full of energy and innocence and surprises. She's practically a vegetarian with how many carrots and broccoli she enjoys. She jumps two feet in the air to welcome us when we get home... In other words, we love her very much and she has filled a void in our lives. Thank you for this gift <3

    I was looking for a new addition to the family. My old GSP I felt was getting lonely, and I wanted to get him a buddy for when there’s not much going on around the house. I personally am a very skeptical personality, and I’m doubtful, and I worry, so finding a trustworthy source to get a nice GSP seemed like it would be impossible. I am very thankful that I came across Katherine. She called me first, she came with the initiative to make first contact and have a real and human conversation about adopting a new dog. A lot of places you talk to seem as though they are overly professional and treat the dogs as more of a product, and I really dislike that. From every conversation I had to walking into her home to see the little guy, you can tell that she devotes 90% of her time to raising, training, caring for, and breeding these puppies. She is very passionate about it, and loves these animals. If she has any bad feelings about someone, she would much rather deny purchase, than make an extra buck, and I don’t doubt it’s always easy to find someone to buy a puppy before they hit 6-9 months. She cares. She had an entire little folder on the vaccinations Charlie received, recommendations and guides that she gave us that revolve around further reinforcing the training that the puppy had while they were there. Even a month later, Katherine is following up with me and giving advice, going over their routine and helping me to take the right actions in building more stability for my boy. If I had one thing to say about it all, which just so happens to be the most important factor for me in adding to the family, is that she cares, and wants just as much for her puppies to succeed and be happy as anyone who is looking to get one. If you want someone that will put forth the effort and encourage you to do the same, then this is where you want to find your new family member.

    I bought Violet (a 13-mo-old female GSP) from Katherine. She is doing great! Very sweet, you can tell that she had a very happy childhood growing up with Katherine. She is also very smart, already knows a ton of commands, crate trained, house broken, etc. She is athletic, alert, and fast. Also doing great with my other 7-year-old male GSP.
