    Nicole was great to work with. When I saw girl 3’s photo, I feel in love with her. I just followed the procedure through good dog. Nicole answered any questions I had. The pick of my new puppy went great and quickly. Luna is now 2 years old. She is a genuine treat as a companion. She is sweet, playful, smart and responds well to commands off leash, which is most of the time. We live next to a large mowed meadow. She has a 1 1/2 year old golden retriever boyfriend. They play well together. When her friend isn’t available, Luna loves to catch frisbee. I have to say she is the best dog I have ever had. I love her dearly.

    Nicole was super easy to work with and very knowledgeable when I had any question about dog food, vaccinations, potty training, etc. From the very beginning, communication was clear, friendly, and professional. The puppies were raised in a clean, well-organized environment, and it was obvious they received plenty of socialization and care. I would highly recommend getting your pup from this breeder!

    Hi Nicole, things are going well. We have changed her name to Duchess. She has acclimated very well, she is a very good eater and gaining weight, potty training is very good, sit and kisses commands are good, leave command is a problem because love of food, loves to go for short walks. Biting is our biggest problem.
