    A big thank you to the Walkers for an amazing dog. He has such an amazing addition to our family. Great disposition, so smart and lovable.

    Johnny was amazing! Was communicative, educated me regarding all my questions, and worked with me on my scheduling needs. I am in love with my puppy dog and could not recommend this breeder more.

    Johnny and his wife were beyond amazing to work with! We are so happy with our boy. He was the absolute perfect addition to our family. We always got updates and pictures along the way. Our pup came already sensitized to every day life noises and completely unphased with the noise of the kids and the vacuum. We couldn't be happier with our choice

    Johnny and his wife were great! They shared updates all along the way, allowed us to FaceTime the puppy, and desensitized her to all kinds of noises so nothing bothers her! She is a beautiful, well cared for puppy. They were very flexible with pickup and gave us a care package with all kinds of stuff for our penny! Definitely recommend them!
