    Julie @ Joyful Pups was so responsive and helpful in my adopting our little Mabel. We couldn’t be happier with our little pup. She is so smart and happy and healthy. She is really a joy. I highly recommend Julie as a breeder.

    Hi Julie, Girl 3 is now names Alani and she is wonderful. Her tempermant is just what we expected being calm, smart, joyful and very very loving and affectionate. She has bonded well with her older brother Nikko who is a mix Yorkie-Couton, Yorkieton. She’s very healthy and sleeps all through the night, saves her potty’s till the morning when we’re awake - very spectacular in our opinion. She has her normal mistakes here and there but that’s to be expected as she responds well to her potty training regimen. Oberall we are extremely pleased with our adoption through you - we appreciate your professionalism and honesty and open/successful transaction. Simply the best customer experience.
