Great! "Wavy" was just as shown online. We renamed him Roody and he is the best puppy we've ever had. Very laid back, very loving and scary smart. We love him very much and I know he loves us just as much. He knew his name & responded to it in 3 days, goes for walks on a leash, retrieves the ball and sits by the door when he needs to potty. He is a wonderful member of our family & even our Rottie, Maddie, is warming up to him.

Stylish was amazing. They have been responsive since the first contact and even afterwards with vet questions and such. Great experience and the perfect addition to my life!
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
