    Samatha was amazing to work with! She was always so responsive and answered every question of ours. She would keep us updated with pictures of videos of our boy as we waited for him to grow. Samantha was extremely professional and pick up was a smooth and coordinated process. Or dog Clay came to us and you could tell he was loved and cared for with Samantha. Training has been going very well and it was clear to us the puppy’s were already introduced to going to outside. Clay is a very happy pup and if we decide to get another I’m sure we will be using Samantha again.

    We just love our little golden nugget! He is absolutely precious and SO smart! We are so blessed to have found this breeder. Samantha communicated with me often. She sent videos and pictures to let me see how my little guy was doing before we were able to pick him up. She also met me half way, which I appreciated. I couldn’t have asked for a smoother experience. Thank you so much! We just love our little Henry and he is doing so good!

    Samantha was amazing from the beginning. She gave us everything we needed and still answers questions if we have them; with this being my girlfriend and I’s first puppy as adults ourselves. She was very responsive to all messages and made this process so easy for us. Ever since we brought home our bundle of joy it has been amazing. Samantha even worked on potty training with her before we got her and it’s been such an easy process for us. We named our puppy Luci, she is absolutely perfect and we could not be happier. We would definitely recommend anyone to get a puppy from here!
