    From the very first day that I inquired about Tiny Tim,a sense of security was felt. Sarah went above and beyond to answer any of my questions. The little boy was going to be traveling a distance. Sarah was very positive about the trip-encouraging me that she would be accompanying him all the way. Through the waiting time,I was given numerous updates and pictures. I was given all information about his needs and how he was being taken care of. When he arrived, I was amazed how Sarah explained and provided all the necessary papers from Secret Reality. Tiny Tim was given a fantastic start to the world.

    Sarah was great to work with! She was very responsive, sent us pictures of our puppy growing through the weeks and delivered our puppy directly to our home. She is knowledgeable of the breed and you can tell cares about her dogs. I would highly recommend her. We are absolutely in love with our little Ginger. You could tell Ginger had been socialized, was comfortable in her crate and had some knowledge of potty training when she came to us.

    Sarah was an amazing breeder to work with! She was responsive, communicative, just great! She made this experience the best one ever! I waited 21 years to get this dog, it’s been a long time coming and I couldn’t be happier with the choice I made. Smokey was a phenomenal choice, he came in great shape, our first few weeks with him have been wonderful, she really prepared us well, and clearly takes pride in her reputation. If you’re on the fence, Sarah could be the one to go with, she has great animals, delivers on what she says, and you would not be disappointed.

    Sarah was fantastic to work with. She went above and beyond for us with our sweet Rusty (Phoenix.) She answered all our questions quickly and continues to be available to answer questions. I’m a breeder as well and she has been doing this a lot longer than I have, so just being able to talk to her and ask questions has been wonderful. As for Rusty, he’s happy, healthy, and so sweet. We love him so kid and he fits in so well with our pack of weenies

    My experience with Sarah was awesome. She was extremely caring and knowledgeable about her puppies. Her response to all my questions and concerns were swift. If you’re looking to purchase, she is your breeder for a safe and carefree experience. My puppy will need a brother or sister soon and she is the only breeder I will trust.

    We picked up a mini Piebald from Sarah . She actually drove puppy out to my home and dropped him with all papers a small basket and some treats and blanket. His health was perfect he was well handled and he honestly is the friendliest little dude anyone has ever seen and he gets the attention from everyone. Bruce Wayne doesn’t bite , gentle on the take for food and full of personality. I would recommend Sarah any time and have to 2 people who have asked
