Nicole was extremely responsive and helpful during the process of bringing our puppy home. She made the process easy and communicated greatly. You can tell she cares about her dogs as she asks for updates and has offered tips/advice.

Working with Nicole from Von De León German Shepherds was an absolutely incredible experience. Her commitment to the entire process, from initial inquiry to bringing our new family member home, was truly outstanding. We were consistently impressed by the level of communication, which was nothing short of amazing—she kept us informed and supported every step of the way. We feel extremely blessed to have had the opportunity to work with Nicole on getting the newest edition of the Garza Family, our handsome boy Maverick!

We saw our puppy, Shadow, on Nicole's website and we just had to have him. Purchasing him went smoothly, and we drove down from Colorado to pick him up. He's a strong and very intelligent puppy. He would tell me when he was hungry, thirsty, or needed to potty. He never got car sick on the ride back to Colorado. He is a beautiful dog and he is settling in at my home very well. I am already in love with him.
