Verified owner · Apr. 2025
Our breeder Melissa has been the kindest and most accommodating breeder we have ever met. Our puppy Penny, is so well adjusted and sweet. Her disposition and overall health is definitely rooted in the excellent care and affection that she received in the beginning of her life. I adore my dog and am so grateful for the love she brings into our lives.
