I've had several dogs over the course of the last 20 years but Java was our first pup that had to be transported via a flight. I was extremely nervous and anxious about the entire process and Mardel was so responsive and ensured our Smooth Fox Terrier made it to us safely. The puppy was a week late due to storms which is completely out of anyone's control but Mardel drove to the airport every day to check on the flights and she kept in contact with me during the entire process and provided updates to ease my anxiety. Her commitment and dedication is truly amazing and I cannot thank her enough!
As far as the puppy goes, while this is my first Smooth Fox Terrier, we had have 3 Jack Russells but at only 2.5 months, Java is doing things (ie. signaling to go out, etc) that none of our prior dogs learned until they were 5 to 6 months old! Java is by far the most intelligent puppy we've ever had and he's also one of the sweetest. He had his first checkup and all is clear (as suspected) and I am looking forward to spending many many years with Java. I can personally say I really really lucked out in not only finding him but also finding Mardel.

We love our new puppy, Oliver. He's even cuter than in the pictures. A few hiccups with the flight over to us due to weather, and he didn't arrive with a toy or blanket, but he is settling in well, and we're all happy together. Mardel and her sister Jodie were responsive throughout the process and we'd adopt from them again.

Mardel was very patient in addressing all my concerns and questions in the adoption process. She answered in a timely manner and even spoke with me on the phone a couple of times. I highly recommend using Mardel it was a great experience.

Mardel was very helpful and responsive, answered all of our questions, and provided us with a beautiful puppy! We love our blue whippet. She came healthy and happy.
She is a playful girl who is very well mannered. She gets along well with people, and enjoys meeting other dogs. She has a wonderful stride, a good appetite, a smart little brain, and great looks. And she loves to snuggle!
We are pleased with our whippet as she has brought a nice joy to our life! We are thankful for Mardel’s excellent customer service pre and post delivery.
Would recommend to anyone! 5*

I recently had the pleasure of working with Mardel. Mardel was incredibly responsive and answered all of my questions. She was sharing pics/videos regularly while the pup was growing. Arranging the flight went super-smooth as well. Ritchie (formerly Jazz) is such a sweet pup, he is sleeping on my lap as I'm typing this review and I'm happy to have him. Thanks Mardel!

Mardel was excellent to work with. She answered any and all questions I had and sent regular updates witu photos. It was so precious to see Zippy (formerly Zach) grow week by week. He is such a sweet puppy and I couldn't be more satisfied with the whole process.
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
