My experience with Jessica was amazing. She’s very knowledgeable and sweet she also kept me up with updates until it was time to bring our pup home and even after!

Ah, where to begin?... I will start with how responsive and accommodating Jessica was from day one! She gave me a great glimpse into her breeding experience and ethics, which really eased my mind! Upon meeting my Shorkie (now Fiona), I was impressed with her beautiful, spotless home where her pets and puppies were thriving! Her mama dog, Roxy, ran to greet us and it was obvious that she and her pups are treated very lovingly by her family. Jessica was knowledgeable and very helpful in answering any questions I had. I would highly recommend this breeder! What luck i had in finding her.🩷

+4Back in the beginning of September I lost my best friend of 14 years and didn’t plan on getting another dog anytime soon until I came across Jessica and her litter simply by accident. Ironically enough she had a puppy that looked exactly like the dog that I lost and if that wasn’t ironic enough, her litter was born two days apart from the day my late dogs birthday, so I thought it was fate or as my girlfriend says my late dog sent Cooper to me. So I started talking to Jessica and let her know that I was interested in Cooper, she worked with me as I got my deposit together. Once I got the deposit to her we setup a time and place for me to meet them as I was coming from Buffalo, NY. We wound up meeting in Toledo, OH after I made the final payment. I have had Cooper for more than a week now and he is one of the sweetest, loving and most adorable puppies I have ever had. He gets along great with our Teacup Yorkie that we already had at home, and has absolutely filled the hole in my heart that was left by the loss of my other dog. I would definitely get another puppy from Jessica again in the future, she was wonderful to business with.
