Melinda was absolutely phenomenal to communicate with. She provided me and my husband our beautiful baby, she was nothing but kind and very informative when I had any questions. She provided everything she promised, and took such great care of the whole litter before they are picked up by their new families. I have already recommended her to multiple people!

The process was a breeze! Melinda sent updates, and kept an open line of communication. She also honored the original price when I accidentally overpaid :) Our new boy came home with a phenomenal temperament, and he’s been a joy to look after. He takes to training really well! I’m so glad I came across Peterson’s Pups.
