Sparky has been a great addition to our family. He’s been fairly good, so we had him attend Puppy Boot camp for training, it’s a beginning. I will be training him as a support dog and I believe Sparky will comply.

Dena was very responsive about her puppies and you can tell she cared for them all. She stayed in touched me with and would answer my questions as soon as she could.

Dena was a pleasure to work with, answered all my various questions when she could, sent me updated photos of our pup. And was nice that she met us half way so we could pick up our pup. We couldn’t be happier with our little boy he is the sweetest and so playful. Only thing is I wish she wasn’t feeding him adult food he did seem to have a hard time eating such a big sized kibble.
