Julie was so incredibly helpful in picking out my new best friend! I didn’t pick one right away, I let her update me weekly to get in for on the pups and their temperaments. When it was time to pick I gave her my dream characteristics in a dog and she picked out the puppy for me! I named my girl Betty and she’s the sweetest and not perfect puppy I could have asked for.

Julie was absolutely amazing throughout the entire process! From answering the many, many questions I had to letting us come visit the puppies to see their personalities, she made us feel like it was a partnership instead of a purchase. Even after the puppy came home she checked in to make sure everything was going well and that everyone was settling in together well. I highly, highly recommend!
