Sorry for writing this so late. Six is his name now. He’s healthy, happy and full of life. I would buy from this breeder again. They went above and beyond getting this young man to us. It was love at first sight.

You can tell Ricky really cares about their dogs and he was very helpful. He made everything go smoothly with me getting my new best friend. I love her very much and I couldn’t have asked for a better dog. Thank you so much, Ricky.
