Working with Carolyn to buy our flat-coated retriever was a truly positive and reassuring experience. She was incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the breed. It was obvious that she genuinely loves her dogs and is deeply committed to giving each puppy the best start in life. She stayed in touch with me regularly throughout the process, providing thoughtful updates and photos of the puppy, which made the wait so much more exciting and meaningful. She was very patient and took the time to speak with me on the phone, answering all of my questions and addressing any concerns I had.
Even now, I can still reach out to her if I have any questions or need advice, which speaks volumes about her dedication and ongoing support. Thanks to her care and commitment,
my family and I have our wonderful puppy, Blue.
Blue is absolutely perfect—full of personality, sweet as can be, and so smart. She’s already brought so much joy and love into our lives, and we’re beyond excited to watch her grow, learn, and become a part of everything we do.
I felt completely comfortable and confident in my decision, and I couldn’t be happier that I chose Stonewall Retrievers!
