Richard’s knowledge and help along the way really has enhanced our experience in choosing the perfect pup for us. George is adorable, so smart and so very much fun! What a wonderful addition to our family! We are so thrilled to have such a knowledgable person who cares about his pups even after they ‘leave’ him! We also made a new friend in the process…
