First timers all around and we had a great experience. Marlene was extremely responsive, answered all of our questions, sent photos whenever requested and allowed us to visit our girl before pickup! Luna Bea (Happy) is a great dog and her features/built were exactly what we were looking for. Although the puppy phase poses its challenges, we love our girl and wouldn’t trade her for the world! Updates on our girl plz follow us on her Instagram and Facebook @lunabeas.life

Working with Marlene was an absolute pleasure. She is professional, responsive, and outlines process from start to finish. As a first time customer, I could not be happier with my decision to select our new puppy from this family. I strongly recommend Marlene and her family if you are looking for strong breeding practices and an enjoyable experience with bringing your new puppy home.

We had a wonderful experience working with Marlene! From the very beginning, she was warm, accommodating, and clearly passionate about what she does. What made the experience even better was that she involved her young daughters. We were happy to see a family so lovingly invested in raising happy, healthy puppies. Our puppy is not only adorable but smart and well-adjusted, a testament to the care and early socialization she received before coming home with us. We couldn’t be happier and would highly recommend this breeder to anyone looking for a place to find their new family member!

Marlene was great to work with. She was so responsive and sent pictures when we requested. You can tell she was so loved and is the sweetest puppy and settling in great. We are in another state and transportation was great. My only regret is I didn’t get more puppies 😂. Highly recommend Marlene!

Marlene responds quickly and was easy to work with. We picked up Buddy on Sunday. She gave us an entire basket that was filled with chew toys, doggy bags, puppy food and a puppy leash. I could tell she and her family loved the puppies; her daughters were so sweet with Buddy(AJ). Buddy has been such a good boy, he has responded well to crate, potty and leash training. Our family has fallen in love with our little guy ❤️

Very professional! We have been impressed by Marlene throughout the process. Very responsive and great communication from initial inquiry, pickup, and even after we have brought our girl home. Marlene provided vet records, AKC papers, & had already microchipped and AKC registered our pup when we picked her up. Marlene ensured we were off to a good start by providing a basket of toys and a starter bag of food. Our pup was already well socialized as Marlene's daughters would play with the pups often. This is our third lab and truly the most professional and would consider reputable experience with a breeder. Our little girl has been the easiest pup we have had and is very healthy and lovable! I highly recommend Marlene as a breeder. David G
