Liz was fantastic, I live five hours out and she took the time to video chat so I could get to know her and the puppies. She's peeing outside and socialized with dogs, cats, and kids. Liz even tuckered her out before our long drive home. My puppy is perfect in every way.

Liz was amazing to work with. She was super responsive and raised adorable puppies with wonderful temperaments. She answered our every question and met us half way for delivery of our new puppy. Our puppy arrived with all his paperwork, updated shots, food, leash, blankie and toys. Liz was honest and straightforward every step of the way and we hope to work with her again in the future. We highly recommend her.

Liz was fantastic! She had great communication and great customer service. Pick up took all of 10 minutes and was super informational. She wasn’t lying when she said how handsome her pups were. Absolutely love my new pup and can’t wait to get to know him more. He was super clean and healthy and the goodie bag she gave us for him was a great bonus! Would recommended 10/10 times. Thank you Liz!
