So far so good! Arrival at the airport went smoothly thanks to the excellent and caring travel nanny. Puppy seems to be adapting well to life in Sonoma. Thank you!

My puppy is great. She is fitting in to the family and other dogs very nicely. She started puppy obedience today at 10 weeks and did great. The breeder was great to work with and went out of his way to help me pick up my puppy. I could not be more pleased and would recommend him to anyone.

Well to tell everyone the truth Tyler is awesome. He responded to every question I had. He flew my pup to me. This girl he sent me was well mannered, basically crate trained, smart, and loves birds. I have had her now two weeks. She is extremely trainable. He has amazing dogs. I would get another. I also offered him to come Hunt with us when she is trained up! He is that cool

Really perfect experience. The videos Tyler sent of his puppies were what sold me on Western Gundogs. It wasn’t because the puppies are adorable (they are adorable!), but because of Tyler’s off-camera interactions with the puppies. His chuckling and obvious delight with the puppies made me sure they were from a good home and well-loved. Tyler is super communicative. He answered all my questions when I was still searching for breeders. He showed me a picture of a grown dog from another litter that had the same parents as the pup I was considering. He let me know that the pup I preferred would have a shorter coat (my preference, but some people really prefer longer, so it’s great that he let me know). He helped with the flight nanny after I’d chosen my pup, and even checked up on the puppy after her flight since she had gotten car sick on the way to the airport and was a bit low when she arrived. 💕. Hilda is a beautiful puppy, super smart and I love her so much. I now have a connection with Idaho, which is kind of a sweet thing.
