Melissa C.
Verified owner · Dec. 2025
I couldn't have picked a better breeder than Riche’ Louisiana Yorkies. From the moment I contacted Melissa, she was happy to answer any questions I had and went above and beyond to make sure the adoption went smoothly. I was updated with videos and pictures regularly. I was happy to be able to read about the pups parents and see how the puppies were growing over time. Very professional and extremely knowledgeable. I do live out of state and after discussing travel, Melissa had them delivered to me. Making sure they were well taken care of and had a safe trip to their new home. The puppies are happy and very healthy. We couldn't be happier!
