    Bill and Alice have a lovely home and they care deeply about their dogs and their puppies. They are responsive to any questions that arose and went out of their way to pick up travel meds at their vet for our day of pick up. We would definitely recommend them. Samantha is a wonderful addition to our home. She is well socialized, very friendly, walks well on a leash and a sweetheart. We will definitely get a future pup from them.
