Communication with Taylor was easy and she was quick to respond to our messages. Our puppy is sweet, very active and a quick learner. She is 12 weeks old now and mostly housebroken, crate training is going well. Our vet examined her and was very positive about how well the breeder had prepared our puppy for adoption.

Taylor was lovely to work with. She was quick to respond and very informative. Her family cares deeply for their dogs and it shines in how our puppy settled into his new home. We are grateful for her support and important advice on how to care for this breed. We received the perfect puppy-gentleman. My children are deeply in love with Corduroy and he has stolen all of our hearts. Thank you Taylor!

+6We had the absolute best experience working with this Taylor. From the very beginning, everything was smooth, organized, and stress-free. They kept us updated on the litter regularly, which made the whole process even more special and exciting. Each update brought us closer to welcoming our sweet girl, and we felt so connected every step of the way. It’s clear how much care, love, and dedication goes into raising these puppies. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and are so grateful to have found such a wonderful breeder. Highly recommend!
