    Rachel, we can’t thank you enough for our Daisy. She is a smart, playful, & a beautiful puppy who we have very quickly come to love. We are thankful to have her as the newest member of our family. Every kid on the block knows Daisy. When she hears a kids voice she gets excited. Thank you! 😊

    We had to put our dog down and were in a bit of an emotional tailspin... Along came Rachel and our new puppy! We could not be happier with the puppy and his transition to our home. He is already settling in to a routine and the neighbors adore him. HUGE thanks to Rachel!!!

  • Aaron L.

    Verified owner · Nov. 2025

    Our experience with Rachel was very positive. From the beginning, she communicated very clearly and answered all our questions. When we went to pick out our puppy, she was very easy to talk to and explained everything in detail. The puppies are definitely high quality. Our little guy is smart and learning everything quickly. She also did a really good job of getting them used to being in crates, so it made the transition of taking him home easier. We would highly recommend working with her, great experience!
