Joseph H.
Verified owner · July 2025
Lee is very professional, extremely knowledgeable and passionate about what she does. Not only with helping answer questions to helping match the right puppy with the right owner, but training of the puppies and all her parent dogs. I learned quite a bit from Lee throughout the month and shared my experience of raising a 16 year old Sheltie and Lee was there explaining the process of herding dogs, Australian Shepards, their temperament, and how much intelligence they possess. Lee is very accommodating allowing me and my family to come over numerous times to see Elton( now Nikos) and the litter family. She wanted to ensure they are comfortable around everyone and everything. I would highly reach out to Lee in the future if you are looking for an amazing addition to the family.
