Carol was so wonderful to work with. I had so many questions as I had never worked with a breeder before. We talked on the phone which was especially nice over just messaging alone. When we were about a month away from bringing Pablo home we were on vacation and asked if we could stop to meet everyone on our way through, and even though our timing was off with travel and traffic Carol was still so welcoming. It truly made our day. It is clear Carol loves and cares for her animals like family, and that is so important to me. Pablo is our daughters 13th birthday present and he is just the perfect addition to our family. I would definitely recommend Carol and if we look to add another to our family in the future, I'd work with her again!
