It was a pleasure working with Diane. This was my first time going through a Breeder and one that was out of state. I was definitely very hesitant until I spoke with Diane. She explained the process thoroughly and everything went very smoothly. She kept me updated with pictures and phone calls/texts. I would definitely recommend her. Our Willow is adjusting very well and we couldn’t be happier with her.

River Valley Hounds was a great experience! We received photos and routine communications leading to our pickup date. Using good dog for payments was stress free and gave us peace of mind. Lady is smart, feisty, and loves her big brother and tiny humans as much as we love her!
