Carol was awesome to work with. She spent time with us as we purchased our two miniature poodles. She let us spend time with the puppies as we decided which ones to take home. The puppies have the best temperaments and are precious. She has been contacting me to see how the puppies are doing. A great experience!!🐩❤️🐩
