Deana Borne (breeder of our new Coton), PERSONALLY escorted our happy, healthy, frisky alert and chill 13 week old Coton de Tuléar to us just 2 days ago, 10/24/25., all the way from Freeport Texas!! We sincerely couldn’t be more pleased with the whole process.
Deana requested we FaceTime to visually meet and talk, way back in September, asking questions and getting to know each other. She is truly a beautiful person, who is totally dedicated her dogs and puppies well being and to her calling. She showed me a live video of her available Cotons and I would have taken any one of them!
Very clean and well kept warm and cozy atmosphere, like a puppy Heaven!! She’s very knowledgeable, and meticulous, and even is involved in dog rescues in spare time. She sent me video updates on my puppy until she arrived.
And we continue to keep in touch after my Polly pup came to us. (I literally felt bad taking my Polly away from Deana😂❣️❣️). Enough rambling, sorry. But everything I said is sincere.
My heartfelt thanks to Deanna Borne, and “Good dog “💘.
