Kimi answered any question we had and sent out regular updates. She provided pictures as he grew. Our dog has turned out to be very good. I would definitely buy from her again.

Willow River was wonderful. I highly recommend them. We were a part of Willows life from day 1. They kept us posted from the day Willow was born. When we got her she knew her name and was using her potty pad. She’s the sweetest little girl and so much fun. She loves the other dogs and cats. She also loves our Grandkids. Thanks again to Willow River!!
