Testimonials

“Jeff and Cara are the greatest! We couldn't recommend them more highly. We have two wonderful puppies from them. One is over 1 year and the other is a few months. The quality of service and care after the sale of the puppies have been very professional and shows the caring of the puppies after the sale. We have had them do training on our 1 year old and have found it to be very beneficial. We have had dogs our whole lives and by far these have been the best dogs we have ever owned."

"Good Morning Jeff. We are very pleased with Diesel. We love him very much. He has the best drive. When he wants something he cannot be stopped. He investigates everything, behind couches, chairs, and end tables. We will send pictures soon. Thank you so much to you and your wife for being so very helpful and nice."

"We purchased a German Shepherd puppy from Jeff and Cara earlier this year and could not be happier! The temperament of the dog is perfect for a family with young children. The puppy is very loving, kind, curious, and adapted well to a change of scenery. We received our puppy when she was 10 months old and during the transition, both Jeff and Cara have been checking up on the dog's transition and her well-being. The dedication to ensuring our puppy made a smooth transition into our family was amazing! I never expected to receive a post-sale phone call from the breeder asking how the puppy was doing nor the quick response to any training questions we had. The focus on the dog's well-being even translates to their vet who is more than willing to discuss the puppy and her early interactions with the puppy and its parents."
