Sarah was an amazing breeder to work with! She was responsive, communicative, just great! She made this experience the best one ever! I waited 21 years to get this dog, it’s been a long time coming and I couldn’t be happier with the choice I made. Smokey was a phenomenal choice, he came in great shape, our first few weeks with him have been wonderful, she really prepared us well, and clearly takes pride in her reputation. If you’re on the fence, Sarah could be the one to go with, she has great animals, delivers on what she says, and you would not be disappointed.

Secret Realities was wonderful to work with. We love our Lucy and it was easy to see she was well taken care of. Sarah met us in a different location and held Lucy for us a little long we too.

We picked up a mini Piebald from Sarah . She actually drove puppy out to my home and dropped him with all papers a small basket and some treats and blanket. His health was perfect he was well handled and he honestly is the friendliest little dude anyone has ever seen and he gets the attention from everyone. Bruce Wayne doesn’t bite , gentle on the take for food and full of personality. I would recommend Sarah any time and have to 2 people who have asked
