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.

I started talking to Marilyn in December. I was pleased on how quickly she responded. I had quite a few questions that was answered promptly. She gave me her personal number so we were able to communicate through the site and her cell. Through out this process she was super helpful, answered all my questions and concerns and replied to all my questions day or night. I live in Oregon and she lives in Florida. Marilyn was very helpful trying to figure out on how to get my fur baby to me in a safe manner. On her end she was researching sites and comming up with different plans on how to get my puppy to me. She even screenshot a round trip package with airfare pricing, so my boyfriend could go to Florida and pick up our puppy. We now have our little girl we named Frankie. She is a joy in our life. You can tell Marilyn takes good care of her puppies and is knowledgeable as a breeder. Frankie goes with us every where. And of course she gets a lot of attention. People ask where they can get a puppy like her. We tell everyone fly to Florida lol. Thank you Marilyn for our sweet Frankie 🩷
