"Jay is a real dog lover...more than a business man. Each dog becomes his personal pet. Our dog is skittish, but as soon as she sees Jay, she charges forward. He is really committed to his kennel, which is a first class operation. Any dog owner should be totally comfortable leaving a prized family member there." -Donald Dwight |
| "Ziggy went to the vet yesterday. He was so good and is quite healthy. Thank you for giving him such a good start in life! Did I mention everyone thinks he is so handsome?! He is very laid back and not anxious which is such a pleasant personality trait. He is so playful and funny. He makes us laugh. We also cry when his teeth get us! It is amazing how quickly he learns - and he seems to be growing by the hour! We love him. Thank you." |
