Verified owner · Aug. 2024
Jessica was very good with questions, and making sure we were a good fit for the breed and had some experience with dogs and puppies. We communicated a lot coming up to pick up so I had a lot of updates. Our baby girl puppy is doing well on her second full day home. Gets along with our older dog and really picking up fast on potty training. She is my little shadow and always hot on my heels. I would recommend Jessica as a breeder as I can tell my puppy was handled a lot by adults and children and I would feel comfortable allowing children around her right away.
