We picked up our puppy about 3 weeks ago and had a great experience! Sandy responded very quickly to our questions and was so kind and helpful. Mysha is such a sweet (and feisty) little thing, and we adore her!

We became the proud parents of little Chloe, parti miniature schnauzer almost a month ago. She is so smart and already knows how to fetch, sit, stay and is working on “go to your place”. She is a joy! Thank you to Sandy for providing such a great puppy.
