Kirsten is absolutely the best! She was always quick to answer my questions and send updates about the puppy we were interested in. When we came to visit Lagoon (Now Islay), we were greeted by her adorable son who interacted with the puppy and us. We were excited to know that Islay had already been exposed to children, other animals, and the general chaos of life. She also already knew how to sit on command! Islay is so incredibly smart, affectionate, healthy, and brave. When we picked up our girl, Kirsten sent us home with a bag of toys, a leash, a blanket that smelled like her mom and dad, and her necessary records. Islay is now 12 weeks old and she’s thriving. She’s learning new tricks every day and loves to play fetch. I really couldn’t recommend Kirsten enough.

Kirsten greeted me with my new puppy. I loved meeting her and her young well mannered son. I drove 5 hours to get Ocean ( I renamed my puppy Zorro because of the marking around her eyes). Zorro is the sweetest, healthy, energetic puppy !! I could tell that she had training and exposed to children, peoples, and different situations. My puppy is fearless and savvy like Zorro, I love her so much , she was worth the 10 hours drive to get her! I couldn’t have a better experience with her breeder . Zorro is extremely smart and listens to me…she definitely gets it. I have experience with this breed because I owned 3 Aussies in the past. One is still alive at 13 and the other 2 died when they were almost 15 yers old. I spend a lot of time with my dogs and each of them has a different personality . I can already see how Zorro is special ! Thank you Kirsten for this puppy of yours!
