From the age of two weeks and until yesterday when we picked up LuLu, our adorable standard poodle puppy, Nicki has been attentive, responsive and absolutely wonderful. Our puppy came with a toy, a blanket from LuLu’s momma and food to make her transition with us simple and as seamless as possible. Lulu was bathed and ready to go when we picked her up. Nicki even called to see how her first night away from her family went. We couldn’t have asked for a better pet owner experience! New Life Family Farm is simply the best! Page Sturgis

Wonderful experience getting our 2 poodles from Nicki! She even helped me pick out the 2 that would be perfect together. She also sent pictures and FaceTimed which was wonderful since we were too far away to see them in person beforehand. You can tell the puppies were super loved and well taken care of. We couldn’t be happier and feel like in addition to new dogs we have a new good friend! We would absolutely recommend New Life Family Farm for anyone looking for a standard poodle puppy!

Nicki was quick to respond. So helpful and informative. She sent pictures and videos and kept me updated on how the puppy was doing. She was so sweet and we’re so grateful we were able to work with her during this experience. Everything went smoothly and we would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to add a pet to their life.
