    Our dog Lucky is such a good natured, responsive, healthy and happy boy. The experience working with Jill and Midwest Puppy Paws was great. After having Lucky join our family about 9 months ago we will soon hope to adopt one of his cousins from Midwest Paws.

    Bringing Herbie into our lives was an adventure filled with excitement, planning, and a whole lot of love. From the very beginning, we knew he was going to be special — and Jill made the process even more incredible. From our first conversation, Jill was nothing short of amazing. She was incredibly responsive, answering every one of our questions with patience and kindness. Each week, she sent us updates and pictures, allowing us to watch Herbie grow from a tiny fluffball into the curious, playful pup we couldn’t wait to meet. Planning the trip to bring him home felt like preparing for a long-awaited reunion. Jill went above and beyond to help us work out the details, making sure everything was set for a smooth journey. By the time we were ready to pick him up, we felt like we already knew him — and he knew us. The moment we finally met Herbie was unforgettable. His shaggy little face, curious eyes, and wagging tail were everything we had dreamed of and more. He snuggled into us like he belonged there all along, and truthfully, he did. Once we got back to Arizona, Herbie quickly proved he’s a fast learner with a heart full of adventure. He took to his new home like a pro, exploring every corner and figuring out the best napping spots in record time. His two older siblings, Chili and Chewie, welcomed him with open paws. They’ve already become the best of friends — running and playing together like they’ve always been a pack. Our journey to get Herbie wasn’t just about bringing home a new puppy. It was about finding the missing piece of our family — and thanks to Jill and her pups, that piece fits perfectly! Thank you so much from the BZ Family.

    Jill was a pleasure to work with! She was responsive, sent a lot of photos, updated us on the vet visit and was kind enough to meet my husband at the airport in order for him to fly back with our puppy. She even provided many toys, a comb and some food for her! You can tell that our puppy (Alice) was extremely well socialized and very well taken care of. Jill is a caring & professional breeder!

    Jill was wonderful to work with and she was very knowledgeable and kept me updated about how my puppy, Artie was doing. At least once a week I personally received update and pictures of Artie, on top of it she regularly updates her Facebook of the whole litter and how they are doing! She alway responded to any questions I had about the breed or how he was doing promptly. She had ideas and suggestions about how to get him here to Texas which I greatly appreciated. I had tried to get OES from a different breeder here in Texas but it fell through. But I think that it was all meant to be because Artie is the cutest, sweetest fluffball I have ever met, He is my new shadow and I love him so much. I can’t thank Ms Jill enough for my beautiful puppy, she did a wonderful job and I am so happy that we got to work together!

    I had the best experience with Jill. Everything was awesome. Met her in person right at her house and she was so welcoming! I would definitely recommend her for your next OES. Puppy is doing great!

    Jill was excellent during the entire process of adopting Clem. The efforts that she went through with the pups in socializing made the transition almost seamless. Clem took to his new pac mates right away.
