    Nicole was great, extremely communicative, and very knowledgeable about the breed. Cocoa is such a lovely dog. She is smart, good tempered and learning quickly. She is very relaxed and loves to sit in the sun. Absolutely adorable

    Nichole was quick to responsive and her level of expertise regarding her breed is phenomenal. The whole process was a breeze and I can tell that her puppies are loved and cared for. When we went to see her puppies, the puppies are well socialized and very happy and love people so much! I would highly recommend anyone who is wanting to adopt a puppy from Nichole and if I do get an opportunity, I would definitely adopt a puppy from her all over again!
