Mireya was so wonderful in updating me with pictures and information while waiting for my puppy Luna. Meeting for pick-up was flawless and she went out of her way to make it easy! I received such a loving and beautiful puppy who already knew her name - Mireya asked me what I had chosen for a name so she could get her used to it. Answered all my questions in a timely manner. Would highly recommend her as a responsible breeder.
