Marissa was great! She was very quick to respond to any questions I had. She sent me regular photos of the puppy before we got him. The pick up process was smooth and she even gave us a bag of items for the dog such as food, treats and toys. Great and easy experience!

We’re so grateful to Underground Kennels for bringing Jasper into our lives! From the moment we got him, we knew he was the one. He’s incredibly playful, so smart, and already so attached to both of us. He fills our home with joy and energy every day. We can’t get over how beautiful he is—especially when he’s laying down all relaxed and adorable! Thank you for such a loving and amazing pup. We’re so in love with him!

We are beyond in love with our little boy! 💙 Marissa was very easy to work with, communicated through the whole process. The minute we picked him she treated it as such, sending us weekly videos of his development. We can tell she spent her time getting him used to touch and socialization, he was so comfortable being held and loved. He has had zero problems adjusting to his new surrounds & already using his potty pads. If we are ever looking for a new addition, I would definitely seek out Marissa again!

I had such a wonderful experience purchasing my toy poodle from Marissa! She was incredibly communicative and kind throughout the entire process, sending me weekly updates on my puppy’s progress. It was clear he was raised in a safe, loving, and healthy environment because he’s such a sweet and well-adjusted pup. I highly recommend working with Marissa if you’re looking for a responsible and caring breeder!
