    Katie was so responsive and helpful connecting us to our most amazing new family addition, Noki (formerly Lucy). She answered every question and was so accommodating in meeting us between the airport and her home. Noki is incredible and we are eternally grateful. I have recomended Katie and her dogs to everyone!

    Stella has been a sweet addition to our family. Katie was great to work with. She answered our questions in a timely manner and sent us weekly photo updates. We live in GA and she connected us with a reliable transporter that also provided excellent service and photo updates during the trip from MD. Great experience all around!

    Katie was awesome and super responsive. She provided regular pup-dates with pictures and videos, made sure he was well socialized, and made sure he had all his vaccinations and paperwork! Katie is a great breeder and she was very knowledgeable about the boxer breed.

    We love the puppy we got from Katie. He is the sweetest thing ever and had quickly become part of the family. Katie was very responsive to all of my questions and even went out of her way to meet us halfway because we live 4.5 hours away. I definitely recommend!

    Very happy with our experience with Katie in getting our new puppy Lucy (now Canela). She was very responsive and answered all our concerns. Canela is good sweet girl with lots of energy but very affectionate.
