    Valori is awesome. She is very knowledgeable about the breed. She keeps in touch with you all the time. She sent pictures and videos of my puppy all the time before he came home. We still keep in touch with pictures and pup updates even now that he is almost three .

    Valori was great, kept us up to date on our puppy with pictures and videos. Pick up was a breeze, Valori had all of the documentation ready, food, toys, chip information, a blanket that smelled like Mom, etc... Our puppy is beautiful, happy, healthy and smart!
