Barbara - An exceptional breeder who goes above and beyond!
From the moment I arrived at the airport, Barbara made me feel welcome and cared for. She not only picked me up but also took me to my hotel, ensuring I had a smooth start to my trip.
Her thoughtfulness shone through with the bag of goodies she provided – a lovely touch that showed how much she cares about her puppies and their new families.
But most of all, it was Barbara's warm hug that left the biggest impression. It was a hug filled with genuine love and excitement, and it made me feel instantly connected to her and my new puppy.
I wholeheartedly recommend Barbara to anyone looking for a breeder who truly cares about their dogs and provides an exceptional adoption experience. Afina Blue is the most cute, calm, little girl, that at only 3 months of age, hasn't destroyed, chewed anything, she was let free from day one, and alone , I can't believe how zen this little girl is. It's truly a blessing
Thank you, Barbara, for everything!

It was a wonderful experience getting to know Barbara. She is very passionate about her love of Italian Greyhounds, and was quick to answer all messages and phone correspondence. Everything went as planned, and Barbara went out of her way to make sure our little Isola got to us with everything and more! I 100% recommend Barbara, Moon Valley Italian Greyhounds, I and am over the moon with our new girl.
