+7Kim was very welcoming and encouraged us to visit Ross Ranch to meet the pups and all of their relatives. Arriving at Ross Ranch, it was immediately apparent that Kim cares a lot about all of her fur babies and takes pride in their accomplishments. We spent a long time at the Ranch meeting and playing with all of the pups and adult dogs. Kim even took the time to have one of the dogs give us a frisbee demonstration. We were happy to return to pick up our pup when he was ready to come home and even ended up deciding to get another Ross Ranch pup a few days later. We will definitely be adding another pup from Ross Ranch to our family again in the near future.
