Verified owner · Jan. 2025
+5Deborah is a very knowledgeable breeder who genuinely loves and cares for each of her puppies. She takes a keen interest in the puppy's development long after the puppy leaves her care to live in its forever home. Deborah is willing to take the time necessary to answer questions about the puppy's breeding and genetic history as well as assist the new owner in the transition from its birth place and family to the puppy's new home. She is also willing to answer questions as needed as the puppy grows and develops. In our experience, Deborah's puppy's are well socialized before they leave her care and have a good start on potty training and learning to sleep through the night. They are also completely weaned, microchipped and have received their 8 week shots before they are released to their forever home. Our puppy has quickly adjusted to her new home and is thriving physically, emotionally and socially.
