I love my new puppy! Rita called him Sam. His new name is MOSES! He is my "Velcro" dog and everywhere we go, he is loved, held, and asked to return! It was very obvious he had been well socialized by Rita and her darling grandchildren. He is happy, easily adjusts to new people and places and loves to play! Moses reminds me every morning a key life question: Who am I following? He is defintely a GOOD DOG! and Rita very true to her word!

Rita was wonderful to work with during the whole process! She stayed in contact with us and gave good advice about feeding schedule and potty training. We could immediately see that Theo had a good start already on the fundamentals. We appreciate Rita and love Theo!

+7Rita gave us the most wonderful puppy! Boba (previously Rufus) is the sweetest, most snuggly little guy. He is exactly what our family was looking for. Rita was fantastic to work with! She responded quickly to every question we had. She was even willing to drive quite a ways to meet me to get the puppy since we live so far away and air transportation was not convenient. She gave us everything we needed to get a great start with our puppy. I would highly recommend her has a breeder .and a easy person to work with.
