Dr. M was very helpful when it came to educating me about the breed. He told me everything I needed to get/have ready for my puppy. And he walked me through how to register my pup and I didn’t feel rushed or pressured into anything. All his pups look like they have a clean and sanitary environment to live and grow in, I can tell he loves all his animals very deeply. As for my dog we love him very much and I could not be happier with my pup!
