    Verified owner · Nov. 2025

    Debbie responded very quickly to all our messages. She throughly and patiently answered our questions about Queen, her parents and the health tests that had been performed. We were even able to arrange a pick up spot that was closer and more convenient for us. Her description of Queen was very accurate. You can tell she really took the time to understand the personality of her pups.
