    It was wonderful working with Kata, from the first message I sent her she really took the time to get to know what I was looking for and educate me about the breed so I could make an informed decision. She went above and beyond to provide all the information I needed and was flexible with pick up. I am beyond thrilled with my sweet puppy, he is health and happy and a great match for our family!

    Absolutely amazing working with Kata and her brother-in-law. They’re both very knowledgeable. Bean is my husband and I’s first puppy so, I had a ton of questions. They both helped answer as much as they could and even helped me on things I didn’t know to ask. As far as my little puppy, he’s such a gem. He’s a calm and happy boy. Don’t get me wrong, he definitely gets his zoomies here and there. But, he’s very well balanced. They did an amazing job setting him up for success by giving him a good foundation. I highly recommend if you’re looking for a Mini Australian/American Shepherd to get one from Kata.

    Kata was the best when it came to giving information about the puppy’s and how they were. She was very responsive and truly cares for them! In the beginning she was willing to send extra photos and even videos of the puppies and were very accommodating to our needs for pickup. As soon as we stopped by our little puppy was ready to go and it couldn’t have been any better! After the long puppy pursuit we finally found our little girl.

    Kata made the entire process so easy and gave me the confidence I needed through quick response times and lots of insight into any concerns I had. in It’s clear she has a passion for what she does and I am beyond lucky to have gotten one of her pups.
