What Families Are Saying

"We drove six hours to pick up Poppy and it was worth every mile. Melissa had her on a routine already, crate, potty schedule, the lot, and sent us home with a folder of everything she had done. Our vet asked which breeder we used and wrote the name down."

"Everything was as described: coat, size, temperament, all of it. The only thing I would flag for other buyers is that the wait was longer than we first hoped, about five months from deposit to pickup. Melissa was upfront that she would not rush a litter, and honestly I respect that more now than I did then."

"Bramble came from Melissa in 2019 and Fig came from her last year. Same steady temperament, same good coat, same honest conversation before we committed. That kind of consistency over that many years is the whole reason we went back."

"The paperwork was thorough to my surprise. It had the registration, microchip, vaccination record, the health report, all of it in one folder. I am the sort of person who checks, and everything checked out. My only gripe is that I had to ask twice for a copy of the sire's OFA certificate, though it did come. Patience wasn't my forte."

"We had her flown to us and I will admit I was a wreck about it. The health certificate, the crate, and the flight details all came through, and the airline staff commented on how settled she was. The week before travel I chased twice for the flight confirmation and it came late enough that I nearly rebooked my own day off. The puppy was flawless. The scheduling was not."

"Nobody warned me about the burrowing. Winnie has claimed every blanket in this house and sleeps under the covers like a mole. She is the funniest, warmest, most ridiculous animal I have ever lived with and I would take another one tomorrow."
