Working with Cassandra on this process was extremely smooth! Throughout the process she made sure to give me updates on the puppy leading up to pickup day. She was very responsive and did an excellent job of answering any questions I had along the way!

Cassandra gave me updates on Onyx. She was so nice and her place is very clean. I did not know how to use the app good dog and she helped me out and explained it to me. I'm so glad I got Onyx through Cassandra I couldn't ask for a better breeder. She cares about her fur babies.
