Verified owner · Sept. 2025
Sally was very knowledgable about the breed and made the process of getting Sadie very easy. When we met Sally for the first time, she was very friendly and gave of a lot of good advice on how to take care of Sadie. I like the fact that she is open to ongoing communication about Sadie. I plan on keeping in touch with Sally over the years. Sadie is very happy in her new home and loves her new family! Thank you Sally for giving us such an amazing dog!
