    We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Malie. From the very beginning, she was warm, responsive, and incredibly knowledgeable. Every question we had—no matter how small—was answered with patience and detail, which made the entire process feel comfortable and stress-free. Her flexibility was truly appreciated - coordinating FaceTime meet ups to see our puppy, visits and pickup. It’s clear that she genuinely loves her dogs and cares about the families they go to. Most importantly, the puppies from Kopydlowski are exceptional—healthy, loving, and full of personality. You can tell they’ve been raised with real love and attention. We couldn’t be happier with our new puppy and the experience as a whole. If I could buy another from her tomorrow I would. We highly recommend Malie to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and truly dedicated breeder.

    We had an incredible experience with Malie from our very first conversation, she was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about their dogs. They took the time to answer all of our questions and made sure we were fully prepared to welcome our new puppy home. The facility was clean, well-maintained, and clearly a loving environment for both the puppies and adult dogs. Our pup came home healthy, happy, and already well-socialized. You could tell they had been raised with care and attention. We also appreciated the transparency with health testing, vaccinations, and the thoughtful contract. Even after we brought our puppy home, the breeder checked in and remained available for support and advice. We couldn’t be happier with our new family member and highly recommend Malie to anyone looking for a responsible and ethical breeder. Truly a five-star experience! ⸻

    Maile has been wonderful in helping us with choosing and taking home our adorable sweet Shihpoo puppy, Maple. We found Maple on Good Dog and reached out to Maile immediately and we were able the FaceTime with hwr and meet the puppy virtually. After several weeks when the puppy was ready to come home we drove down to pick her up. Maile answered all our questions. We could tell Maple was growing up in a warm safe healthy environment with her siblings and mom and dad. Maple has been home with us now for 2 weeks and she is an amazing puppy. Smart. Happy. Well adjusted. We couldn’t ask for more! We still keep in touch with Maile when we have questions and she continues to be so helpful. We highly recommend her if you are looking for sweet adorable happy Shihpoos. Maile is an amazing breeder 😊💕
