Kearstin was very helpful and sent updated photos and videos of my puppy. My puppy is healthy and beautiful. She included a nice bag of items we used on our way home. She was thoughtful and a joy to work with.
I highly recommend her puppies.

So far so good, except for the persistent parasite issue for Boris(Diego). Bodie(Milky Way) had an issue as well with a different parasite, awaiting follow up fecal testing results on Bodie.
