    Samantha was very helpful through the whole process of obtaining a puppy from one of her litters. She was very receptive towards all of my questions and even gave us a puppy starter bag with treats, toys, leash and collar. Not only was the purchase process with her smooth, she made sure that the puppy had received initial training. House breaking our new puppy was almost effortless and the puppy would even clue us in on needing to go out by 10 weeks old. The temperament was amazing and the puppy did very well with our small child and other dog. She has remained in contact with us and answers any questions that we have and I wouldn't dream of getting another dog from anyone else just because of how great Samantha and her breeding process has been! Love the family page she has for all of her dogs so you can keep track of how the siblings are doing too!

    Samantha was great to work with. We drove almost 400 mi. to pick up our puppy. We had arrangements made and had to cancel twice, once because of weather and once because of illness. She was very understanding and flexible about everything and she responded to messages quickly. When we finally got to pick up the puppy, she had all the records in order and gave us a huge pile of treats and toys. And Schatzi already knew how to sit!

    Samantha was very responsive, and knowledgeable about this breed. We had a great experiencing with the entire process - from finding/claiming our puppy, to the conversations in between, to picking her up and taking her home. This entire experience has been amazing!

    We drove 598miles there and back..... through cold weather, snow and icy patches, all for our little peanut. Sam was sweet and kind, her goodies bags are top tier and peanut has been the best baby ever! It has been a couple of months since getting him, and Sam and I have stayed in contact about Peanut's growth, and she has been very excited about every photo she receives.

    Samantha was extremely knowledgeable and informative. You can tell Samantha has a strong passion for her dogs and their puppies. She responded quickly every time and was very accommodating. The regular picture and video updates prior to being able to bring our girl home kept us feeling connected and informed throughout the entire process. I couldn't be happier with choosing Legacy K9's.

    Samantha is very responsible breed owner and very professional and always available to answer questions even after we got our puppy. We wanted specifically Germany shepherd and Samantha walk through everything with me what to expect and how to prepare for the puppy. I was surprise that Samantha actually care about where her puppies going and what house and what family. That showed me that she does love her dogs and very serious about their lives after their leave her home. We are very happy that we pick a puppy from Samantha and we appreciate her being a good breeder and thankful for her being available even after we got our forever friend ☺️
