Our meeting with Valerie was great. She communicated all the important things with us such as food, medical records annd our puppies personality. You can tell she really spends time with and takes care of her puppies. Our girl was already potty trained, crate trained and she is an extreme cuddle bug and all around sweetie. You could tell she’s very used to being loved on.
