I was in search of a puppy to take the place of my long time friend, and camping buddy, that passed away from old age. In my search I found Mary and her Kennel. She had great reviews and was recommended by other Kennels that had no puppies on the ground. I contacted Mary and was lucky to receive an email back for a puppy that was taken, and the purchaser decided to try something different. My wife and I visited Mary in her home and met the puppies. Mary is a very knowledgeable breeder that runs an exceptionally clean whelping area. We were required to remove footwear and to wear long clean pants in the whelping room. Her Ridges met us at the door and were well behaved and beautiful. Mary answered all our questions and after leaving kept in touch with pictures of the pups as they grew to weening. We received emails, with pictures and videos, several times a week and they were a joy. On pickup Mary went over all the paperwork with us for the AKC, and answered all concerns. Nothing was left unanswered. The puppies were well socialized. I would highly recommend Mary as a breeder and would buy from her again in an instant. Mary has kept in touch with growth expectations and what to expect during their adolescence and how to take care of it. My puppy and I have bonded solidly, and while he has no separation issues he is by my side at all times when I’m at home. I want to thank Mary for her Kindness and help. I have a new best friend. Attached is a picture of my two children.
