We couldn’t be happier with our experience! This breeder is incredibly sweet, super responsive, and truly cares about their dogs. We loved our first dog so much that we just came back for our second—and the experience was just as amazing. The puppies are clearly well loved and raised with so much care. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a wonderful breeder and a perfect pup! 🐾🩷

Wonderful experience from start to finish. Lydia was knowledgeable, communicative, and clearly cares deeply for her dogs. Lydia answered all of my questions and sent pictures and videos leading up to pick up. My puppy came home with vet records, food, treats, blanket with mom’s scent and a toy. We even had the pleasure of meeting our puppy’s parents and siblings at pick up. I would highly recommend one of her puppies!

Lydia went above and beyond to make us comfortable and confident to get Venus. She was super responsive and let us be part of Venus' days before she arrived. Highly recommended!!

Lydia was great to work with! I found her on Good Dog and had saved her information. When we started messaging she was very responsive and answered all my questions. She was knowledgeable as well! Once we sent in the deposit, she continued sending puppy updates including pictures and videos. Arranging pickup was easy too! She sent us home with a baggy filled with puppy food, paperwork, toys, a blanket with mom’s scent, and the cutest puppy advent calendar! She checked in the day after to see how we were settling with our new puppy. We are in love with him! He’s the sweetest! Would definitely recommend getting your pup here! We also were able to see mom and dad while we were there and that was great!
