    Nina was just fantastic as a breeder. She communicated often regarding the puppies birth continuing to send updates regularly prior to our pickup date. She also likes to receive updates and pictures how her babies are doing even after pickup! I am still in touch regularly providing her updates and pictures as Cinnamon grows. We renamed our baby Cinnamon. She has the most loving personality and is extremely smart! She is not even 7 months old and knows how to "high five" upon request!! I'm especially thankful for how healthy and strong she is and I can tell she comes from a loving caring breeder. I am super happy working with Nina and would recommend her as a breeder to anyone wanting a beautiful poodle puppy.

    Everything went nice and smoothly. I've renamed her latte, and she is really good at responding to her name. She has learned several tricks and is very smart. She is mostly potty trained, but the time she had accidents were times that I should have let her out earlier. Overall I'm very happy with my new puppy. My vet also said that she is in great shape. The groomer was happy with how nice she was and how easy it was to clip her.
