    We absolutely loved our experience with Tom and Margaret. We looked forward to weekly pictures and updates. Our Millie is the perfect mix of sweet with a little spice. Training is coming along great and we owe a lot of that to them. We would definitely recommend them to all of our family and friends.

    Tom and Margaret were amazing. They sent us weekly updates/pictures of our puppy up until we took our pup home! The paperwork and communication was easy as ever. We can tell they raised our pup with the best care as she is the sweetest dog ever.

    I couldn’t have asked for a better experience working with Tom and Margaret to get our precious girl Luna! She is absolutely amazing. She got potty training down in a lil over a week, she walks with the harness and leash well. She has learned sit, spin, and stay in about ten minutes. She is so calm and she loves kids as well as other animals. Tom and Margaret were so informative and they always kept me in the loop. They constantly sent pics so we could see her grow. Thank you for allowing us to have one of your pups. She has filled a hole in our hearts she didn’t create and we are so grateful.

    We had a wonderful experience with Tom & Margaret! The male black lab puppy we brought home is very healthy, smart, funny, and loving. He truly is a phenomenal puppy, and so much of that came from the care and knowledge Tom & Margaret posses. They are dependable and kind people, and we feel so lucky to have connected with them. Overall, a phenomenal experience that we highly recommend. 🐾🐾❤️

    We could not have asked for a better experience than what we had with Margaret & Tom 💕 From the second day our pup was born we received regular photos/videos and updates on how she was growing. Everything was so simple and stress free, from our first interaction through the day we picked her up. And our pup is amazing 🐾. She's in perfect health, smart and loves to play. Thank you again so much Margaret & Tom, Crosby is everything we hoped for and more 💕
