    Christen was great, very helpful & informative throughout my entire process. She responded quickly to all my questions & was a pleasure. The process of receiving George was a little more complicated, due to my out of state location. However, Christen & her husband were more than willing to work with me to ensure George arrived safe & promptly in Seattle. I’m very grateful & appreciative to have found Christen & of course MY George! George is the sweetest & calmest boy, he loves cuddles & all people.

    CHRISTEN was fabulous to work with. She met me halfway in Memphis for the handoff. Tilly has obviously been loved and palyed with. She's loving and cuddly, funny and spunky. I've sent updates and photos and she has connected me with other parents in this litter. Wish them the very best.

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.
