We loved working with Gail! She was knowledgeable and professional. She was able to answer all my questions and made sure we were set up for success right from the start. Our puppy was healthy and sweet. It was obvious he had been well cared for and socialized. He fit right in with our crew and we couldn't be happier. We are first-time OES owners and I can't imagine our experience would have been as smooth without Gail!

I initially contacted Gail in January to inquire about a puppy. She was immediately warm and responsive, answered all of my questions and follow up with any updates. Once puppies arrived, she had her hands full but made time to keep me in the loop. We were able to see videos and photos and work with Gail to decide which personality would fit our home best. I picked up our Doug at 8 weeks 2 days and he is absolutely perfect. Smart, social, and so so cute. Very thankful for Gail and the ease of the process, and definitely loving our new furball!

Gail made the process of finding and bringing home Appa such a positive experience. She was knowledgeable, responsive, and clearly cares deeply about her dogs and the families they go to. Appa is happy, healthy, and has already become such an important part of my family. I’m so grateful for Gail and would highly recommend Roland Hills Farm to anyone looking for a wonderful puppy. 🐾❤️

From initial contact to receiving our new puppy, Gail was a consummate professional as well as compassionate. Our new sheepdog, Stosh, is absolutely perfect, one of the very best I've had since my first OES in 1971. He is cute, smart, confident, and well-adjusted. He is just what we were hoping for and I couldn't be happier. Gail made the entire process as easy as possible, and with Good Dog you just knew that everything was going to be what you expected. Thank you Gail for allowing Stosh to join out family.
