Cheryl is amazing, and we’re so happy we found her. She was incredibly responsive, and you can truly tell how much she cares. She’s extremely knowledgeable about the Rat Terrier breed and was always willing to answer our questions, take phone calls, and send pictures of our new boy. The whole experience was wonderful from start to finish, and we highly recommend her.

+4Cheryl was great! She was very responsive and honest! I could tell that she wanted to make sure her puppies wound up with the right people. She let me know that the puppy I was interested in needed to be with someone that had had a Rat Terrier before (which I had)!

Cheryl was great. She listened to me when explaining my feelings and answered all of my many concerns. I was delighted when I saw that there was a litter due soon. So, from the pre-birth to the pick-up she stayed in contact. I plan on staying in contact with her with sharing pictures and updates. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a new little family member.

As a dog lover I saw that she really cared for the dog as she gave it to me some tears came out of her eyes! That meant tha she is not only a breeder but as a great person!

Cheryl was nothing short of amazing. We were hesitant to find a puppy online because there are a lot of bad breeders. We took our time and found Cheryl and could not be happier. Our puppy is happy, healthy, and so well adjusted. Not to mention adorable.

Cheryl is wonderful - pups are healthy and well socialized. Cheryl kept us updated on their progress and met us with health records, food, toys and a dog carrier to get them home in. We were only going to get one puppy and added on another and their personalities benefit each other. They are best friends.
