5* Beth & Bill James are great to work with. You can tell immediately their love for these pups. We adopted "Charlotte" renamed her Aggie-Lou. She is full energy and a very loving pup. Blended in with our English bulldog to complete our puppy pack.
Would highly recommend them to anyone. When my son buys a house next year he's coming to get a pup or 2 from you all.
Thanks again for everything.
