Verified owner · Aug. 2024
Stefanie was fantastic to work with. The puppy (Leilani) we got from her is very well-tempered and intelligent. She’s proven to be very healthy thus far. I’m training her as an autism service dog and she’s showing some natural inclination towards the work, already. Stefanie had already done some obedience training with her. The transaction went smoothly and delivery was quick. Leilani has a beautiful, soft coat. She’s a cuddle bug who loves people of all ages and gets along with all animals (dogs, cats, and goats, so far). She was practically house trained when we got her. Stefanie has always been very responsive to messaging and when I’ve had any questions. I would absolutely recommend working with her if you want a great puppy!
