    Verified owner · Aug. 2024

    Carmen gave lots of advice and was open to visits and questions as we approached adoption. She is extremely knowledgeable. The place was so clean and the dogs were very happy. To visit all the pups was wonderful. We really appreciated how attentive Carmen was of the breed and the needs as we took our pup home.
