A wonderful experience. Amanda was so helpful in helping me. Couldn't ask for a better experience

We picked up our puppy on 9/21/24. Amanda answered all of our questions, supplied us with all the paperwork and food. Maggie Mae has had an amazing week, eager to scout out her new surroundings. Met a few young children and her new large family. Adapting quite well.
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
