Helena P.
Verified owner · Jan. 2026
Paige was very responsive and patient with all of our questions about our sweet Rusty (Phoenix). It’s very apparent that she loves what she does and she loves her pups. She went above and beyond. She drove hours to meet my husband who is a truck driver to deliver our puppy. She is still available for questions and is full of valuable advice. I’m a breeder as well and her years of experience shines through her willingness to teach and talk. Our boy is beautiful, healthy, and sweet. We couldn’t be happier and would definitely consider getting another puppy from her again.
