Absolutely Fantastic with regard to Marissa and her family, the Muddy River Springers! We love our Oliver and getting him has been a blessing, Marissa was and still is most supportive, getting a puppy from her was a positive lifetime experience. I traveled from Arizona to Indianapolis to pick him up and the exchange was extraordinary, there was our little love, Oliver! He was fantastic on the flights back home and we enjoy him immensely! Thank you Marissa and your family!
