    I got the sweetest babygirl from Katherine, and the experience was great from start to finish. My puppy is not only adorable but also incredibly sweet, smart, and well socialized! The whole process was easy and well communicated. I highly recommend her!

    Katherine and her daughter were so responsive and helpful in this process. I have been looking for a Chihuahua for over 6 months. It was very important to me that the breeder cared about the puppies. Since Tiki is so small they wanted to ensure she was going to a family that had experience with a very small chihuahua in the past. That spoke volumes to me! I didn’t want to deal with someone who was strictly breeding for a profit. Tiki is precious and just as described to us. Katherine and Shay have been available by text to answer questions since we brought Tiki home. I have very high standards and I am happy to say that KCL has exceeded them. If you are looking for people who care and are honest then look no further! The pick up process was smooth and as agreed upon. When we are ready to find a companion for Tiki, we’ll be back!!
