+8We had an amazing experience with Danielle! She was so accommodating and let us meet the puppies we were interested weeks before they were ready to go home. It was such a joy to be able to meet our little boy at 5 weeks before he came home to us and see him with his siblings. Danielle was very communicative and responsive and sent us pictures of our little guy within that time. Danielle provided his vaccine records, along with some food, pee pads, and toys to go home. Our little Enzo is such a little blessing and so precious. We are beyond happy with our experience and our new addition!

Danielle is an excellent breeder and communicator! She sent us weekly videos and pictures of the puppies, and we could see that she was taking care of them very well. Whenever we had a question for her, she was quick to respond. She even gave us gifts for the puppies when it was time to bring them home! She is very professional, responsible, and sweet!
