Kathy was amazing to work with. She called and talked to me to find out the personality I was looking for and knew so much about her puppies traits. You can tell she spends a great deal of time with them. She sent me pictures and videos of our little puppy and was very transparent throughout the process. We have had Sienna for two weeks now and I’m so impressed at how well adjusted she is. She is great with our kids and isn’t excited about the cat or loud noises. I did a lot of research on breeders and Kathy comes out on top! Would definitely recommend a puppy from her 🥰

Kathy was great to work with. I already had a 2 yr old female mini Aussie and I was looking to add a companion for her to our family.
Originally, I was working to purchase a different puppy, however, the timing wasn’t right. Kathy is great in providing responses to any and all inquiries about her pups. Nova (2yr old) and Luna (12 weeks) bonded in 3 days. They are polar opposites. Luna adjusted to her new home in a couple of days (2-3 tough nights) but now she goes in her kennel willingly and remains quiet all night. She has done extremely well potty training; she goes to the door when she knows she needs to do her business.
The purchase was simple. Kathy provided all the documentation, leash, blanket and farewell photo! Great experience!
