    Getting our precious mini dachshund through Nicole was such a seamless process. Nicole was so communicative, sending me photos and videos in the weeks leading up to pick up. She gave me all info I needed on the dogs vaccinations, food preferences, etc. overall, a great and positive experience with Nicole and I’d highly recommend going through her if you’d like a pup of your own!

    Nicole was quick to respond to my questions and send updates of Ruby. She is knowledge about doxies and shared her knowledge. Ruby was very well socialized as evidenced by her behavior. Everyone is a friend and she wants to play with everyone. Nicole was even able to accommodate my pickup date.

    Nicole was great throughout the entire process. She was quick so answer our questions and sent many pictures and updates while we waited for the day when we could pick up our puppy. Her home was clean and all the puppies looked happy and healthy. Our puppy is so sweet and you can tell she was well socialized by her behavior!

    Nicole is wonderful. She is very responsive and kept us up to date on how our little girl was doing before she was old enough to go home with us. She has checked in a few times since we took our puppy, Lotus, home with us. It’s very obvious that they care very much about their puppies.
