    Cody and Amanda were great! My partner and I love our new puppers Drax!! He’s been a beautiful addition to our family, getting easily acclimated to NYC and our home life with our two cats. He came knowing basic commands and was able to maintain his potty training from the breeders which has been a true blessing. Super grateful and excited for the future with him!

    Cody and Amanda were extremely responsive throughout and great to work with! Swampy knew how to use his litter box right away, and knows some useful things already like his name, no, and sit. He's also very energetic and healthy. Had a great experience.

    Cody and Amanda at Riverside Collies-n-Critters exceeded all of our expectations! Sadie knew her name, the word “no”, sits, and more. Sadie was crate trained and has slept there without whining for both nights so far—5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    They made it easy. We were difficult in that we wanted to see the puppies multiple times before we committed. They allowed us visits, talked with us about the personality of the puppies, and helped steer us towards our great choice. Very, very happy.
