Ann R.
Verified owner · Sept. 2025
Patricia was very easy to work with, great communication and constant updates. Her home and yard is set up for the small amount of dogs she breeds in a caring and open way. The dogs are in and out of her house enjoying their life. The parent dogs are clearly happy and healthy. The puppy we bought came home happy and healthy.
