First and foremost, I’ve got give Krissa a huge thank you for doing such an amazing job nurturing my sweeting little boy from birth.
It’s only day 4 with my little Rayo (formerly Luke), and he has shown me that his chill demeanor, sharp senses, and fun loving spirit are a testament to Krissa’s care and warmth.
His adoption was seamless, and Krissa was very responsive with photos, information and insights for the best care possible. Upon flying into ORF to pick up Rayo, Krissa met me near the airport for a tender hand him off—bathed, freshly cut nails, joyful and healthy may I add. She was thoughtful enough to share a goodie bag of toys, treats, comfort blanket, appropriate paper work and shot details. She’s simply the best!
I so happy to welcome Rayo to his new home. His ability to adapt to new environments, travel calmly, and make himself right at home prove to me that Rayo comes from a loving home.
I couldn’t be happier with this whole experience! I’m blessed to have my little boy. Thank you Krissa for being a phenomenal partner!

Krissa made this process adorable and unique! She is so special, she took pictures and videos without asking and she made video call or call if I requested, she answer all of my dumb questions, before I received Mizukki she guide me in what I have to buy for her travel and her recepcion. One of my friends pick up my baby in nc and Krissa assure that she would be comfortable for the 16 hours on the road, she also give my friend a bed, blanket, papers, food and toys that Mizukki will need on the travel, Krissa assure that the baby travel safe and came to me by chat and calls.

We recently brought home two adorable Yorkie puppies from Krissa, and we couldn’t be happier! From the moment we connected, Krissa was responsive, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. She answered all of our questions with patience and clarity, helping us feel confident every step of the way.
Anakin and Leia are absolute perfection—healthy, well-socialized, playful, and already so affectionate. You can tell they were raised with love and care in a nurturing environment. They transitioned seamlessly into our home, which speaks volumes about the early experiences Krissa provided them.
We also appreciated how organized and transparent the entire process was, from initial inquiry to pick-up day. Krissa kept us updated with photos, tips, and everything we needed to prepare. It’s clear she truly loves what she does and is dedicated to the well-being of her dogs.
If you’re looking for a trustworthy, caring breeder who goes above and beyond, we wholeheartedly recommend Krissa. We feel so lucky to have found her—and even luckier to now have these two perfect little pups as part of our family!
