“Jo quickly responded to my request to inquire about the dog. With us being in close proximity, we were able to go and view the puppy prior to purchase. Mikey has been a great addition to our family. I would definitely refer & purchase again from Jo.

Jo was extremely kind and helpful. She was gracious and sent me updated pictures of my puppy every few weeks. After pickup, she checked up on the puppy and helped me get him adjusted. She provided tips/tricks to get him to eat as he adjusted to his new environment. She was also extremely knowledgeable. I would 100% repurchase from her again!

Jo was great! Very kind and easy to work with. She answered all our questions and was very accommodating. Me and my kids had the chance to visit our puppy multiple times before we finally picked her up and Jo was always very great. It has being almost two weeks since we got our beautiful Cookie and she is a happy, healthy, thriving princess. Thank you Jo!
