Terry was absolutely phenomenal from start to finish! She kept communication frequent, sent videos of progress and answered any questions I had in a timely and profesional manner. Our puppy had been well socialized around other dogs and children before coming home with us and we reall appreciate Terry for the dedication and passion that she puts into her fur babies. Could not recommend Gunter Gables enough, my family and I are so happy with our puppy!
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
