+5Rusty was amazing to work with, i never had to worry about asking many questions they him and his wife were more than happy to help and answer any questions my husband and i had. From day one it was very easy process and they always gave updates on our girl Daisy Mae. Were so grateful we got to work with them and adopt our sweet girl!

Rusty and his wife were great to work with answering every question and providing updates, live video and just an overall good experience from beginning to picking up Blaise. We were well prepared when we came to pick up Blaise thanks to them. Blaise is a beautiful smart boy we’re extremely happy! Our search began in June and the name we had chosen was a combined name Blaise to honor our previous dogs. Finding Rusty’s listing with the name Blaze was one of those meant to be moments. It was love at first sight!

Rusty was incredibly helpful with answering questions about adopting River. He always responded quickly to any messages I sent. When I picked River up, he took time to go over the veterinarian paperwork and answer any questions I had about care and feeding of my new puppy. I couldn't be happier with my new little puppy. Not only is he beautiful and smart, but very healthy.

+5Rusty and his wife were exceptional to work with! They were very communicative, and readily answered any questions that we had. They were also accommodating in arranging for Isla to be picked up. We already love Isla so much, and she really is just the sweetest! She is healthy, happy, and gets along well with my other pets. She has also already had a great head start on potty training! We would truly recommended getting a cocker spaniel through Ozark Haven Farm!

+7Everything went great with Rusty and getting Fisher! The communication was consistent and quick while my wife and I had to travel from Texas to Missouri! Fischer has been growing! And learning quickly! He has lots of playful energy, but also loves to cuddle when he’s tired. He loves ear scratches and belly rubs! His favorite toy is lamb chop!

Rusty and his wife Hanna are so caring and helpful. They answered dozens of questions, sent photos and were willing to Facetime so we got to meet the baby! They were willing to meet us a few hours closer. And the puppy! Wow. What a sweet and beautiful sweetheart! You can tell she was bred and raised with so much love. The puppy is healthy and happy. We've had quite a bit of loss in our family lately and the puppy brings so much joy and happiness to our lives. We are most grateful for the blessing they shared with us.
