About Rosie
Rosie is such an intelligent, sweet girl, and we absolutely adore her. She’s a wonderful, well-rounded family dog—playful and energetic when she’s chasing a ball, but also relaxed and affectionate when it’s time to cuddle…unless there’s a ball nearby! She’s incredibly loyal, loves her mom and dad, and greets both people and other dogs with kindness.

Verified owner · Aug. 2026
Michelle and her husband were wonderful to work with. We brought home a puppy from her recent litter and the puppy is so sweet and we know he was very well taken care of before he came home to us. I highly recommend working with Michelle. Her whole family seems to have such a love of animals and she has an animal-first mentality when caring for her puppies. Thanks, Michelle! We love Beau!
