+5Kevin and his wife were fantastic and we are so grateful for Freddie (now named Ziggy). They were very responsive and they have offered to keep our Ziggy while we go on our scheduled vacation. I could not recommend better breeders and just all around good folks. We got to meet Ziggy’s parents and all of his siblings and Kevin is top notch! We are so grateful that we met them!!!
