Gwynne was amazing!! She sent us regular updates on our puppy, took the puppy for vet check ups and got the puppy its first round of shots until he was ready for pick up. She was also so helpful with any questions we might have had after pick up to make the transition with the puppy into our home so easy.

My experience with Gwynne was great! She sent weekly updates of Cooper progress and was quick to respond to any questions I had. She even provided me information on when she took him to the veterinary and sent me information so I could share with my veterinarian. Would highly recommend her next litter.
