Marilyn is a wonderful person very informative and cares for her pups even after they get their new homes. We couldn't be happier with Marilyn or our new girl Sofia aka River

Good Evening Marilyn, Hercules is a darling. So loving and happy. He thinks he's a BIG Boy. Loves running around and playing tug of war. He sleeps in his play pen with his blanket and his bed so he will be safe in the night. In the morning he is a wiggle worm, full of kisses. Going for walks is a favorite of his and napping on my lap❣️

Marilyn was excellent. She was responsive, communicative and even started name training our puppy with our requested name before we picked her up (it made a difference!). At first we thought we had a little puppy genius on our hands when she picked up the grass pad potty training quickly but we realized it was likely due to Marilyn's training. Our little one came well socialized with kids, adults, the outside and even other dogs. I would highly recommend Marilyn and her pups who you can tell are well cared for before the handoff.
