+4From the start Matthew was fabulous to work with. He was very responsive before we even put a deposit down for Kingston. We received many videos ans updates on King through the whole process. Meeting him was also a pleasure, very kind man who you can tell loves his dogs. We will definitely deal with Matthew in the future for any other labradors. Thanks again Matthew, we love our King.
