    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.

    Kris S.

    Verified owner · Dec. 2025

    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.

    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.
