    We are so in love with our puppy from Natalia. We get constant compliments on how beautiful she is. She is not only beautiful but her temperament is excellent. She is so sweet and extremely smart. As soon as we got the puppy we knew she would be an amazing dog. I’m so in love with her and just so happy and pleased. If you are on the fence I 100 percent recommend this breeder. She obviously very much cares about her dogs and puppies. They’re treated as part of the family.
