    Lydia was wonderful throughout the transaction. She also sent everything a puppy would want or need to be comfortable coming to her new home. Beautiful dresses and her kennel with the softest hand made blanket. Lydia is the friend across the way. She’s the kindest person I’ve dealt with in years. She puts her heart ♥️ into her puppies. I would highly recommend her as a Top Breader. Thank you so much for sending me that missing little family member. Rita Hawkins
