Such a great experience working with Domenic, and his family at Hooligan Mastiffs! From his response time to my first inquiry, to keeping in touch prior to pickup day. They clearly take pride in making sure the puppy you’re taking home has been well cared for from the beginning, socialized, and ready to be a part of your new family. SWENk has been the sweetest addition to our every day life!
