+4We had a wonderful experience with Chris and most of all we are so in love with our puppy. He is one of the most mellow and loving dogs we have ever been around. Thank you, Chris!

Chris with Puppies of the West was an absolute joy to work with. He was very responsive, and answered my inquiry and questions within a few hours. He sent me photos and videos of the puppy I was interested in, which was very helpful in making my decision. Once we decided to move forward with our new furry family member, Chris was extremely accommodating with where he was able to deliver our puppy and the timing. Because we had a previous scheduled vacation, he was willing to keep our puppy for a whole two weeks before we could get him, and took the greatest care of our little guy. When we were finally able to pick up our puppy which we names Slugger, Chris has him pretty much potty trained, and started calling him by his name we chose. I highly recommend working with Chris when your looking for your next puppy.
