Kelley was the, hands down, best dog buying experience I could have hoped for. I was very nervous and she did every possible thing to alleviate any concern I had, from answering all my questions, to sending photos daily until my little nugget arrived, to sending her to me with a huge goody bag of stuff I would need. Everyone needs to meet a breeder like Kelley. If I could give stars she would have all 5, and even a bonus 6th for being so dang awesome.
