Verified owner · Feb. 2025
My experience with Melissa was very impressive. She was very timely with her response and was helpful with every step of the transaction. It was evident she takes pride in making sure she has the healthiest litters of Yorkshire Terriers available. We have had our bundle of energy, Margot, for two and a half weeks and couldn't be happier with our newest family member! Margot had her first checkup and 2nd in the series of DHPP vaccinations this week, and her examination results were extremely positive. Margot is very well adjusted, extremely smart and has settled into her new home without any difficulty. To me, that is a sign of good breeding and a positive reflection on Melissa.
