I had the best experience with Fernando. I first saw his puppies at 3 weeks old and knew from the moment we saw 1 of the little females that she was the one for us.
Fernando gave us constant updates on her growth and emerging personality. He sent us videos and photos of her so we could see her as she was growing and changing. It was wonderful to see the puppies running and playing with eachother and their parents. I knew my little girl was being well taken care of until she was ready to come home to us.
Fernado continously responded quickly to every one of our messages. He always provided detailed responses. I couldn't be happier woking with him to bring our little girl Remi home.
Besides all this, his mama dog and papa dog are beautiful and sweet natured, as seen in all the videos that Fernando uploaded for me. All the puppies were breathtakingly beautiful. Fernando told me that Remi was becoming a big lap dog and extemly affectionate and chill. We now have Remi for a few days and she is EXACTLY as Fernado said. She is absolutely perfect.
Another plus is that she came to us 75% wee wee pad trained. I would absolutely get another puppy from them...perhaps their next litter so that Remi can have a simbling to play with. I highly recomend them.
