I live in California but I friend of mine had purchased from HLP so I felt comfortable with the shipping process. I am so glad I trusted the process I could not have asked for a better dog and a better breeder. It is clear to me that my girl was loved and handled daily by HLP Family. Her temperament is amazing. She is friendly with people cats chickens my other Dogs. My husband did not want another Puppy but he is in love and very happy he decided to give my the new puppy I wanted. She was so excited when she first saw us she got the zoomies right away. My husband was scared what we got ourselves into. she is legit the calmest dog I have ever had. I expected to put her in her kennel and have to break her of crying and whining for a few weeks. I was prepared to lose sleep but nope she didn’t make a peep. I would wake worried she was not ok because she was quiet but nope she is just as sweet & calm. She is playful and loves to run in the orchard and play with my other animals but she is also super chill. She is so smart she watches TV and even Facetimes my kids. We have never seen a dog this smart. I have had many breeds over the years but this girl is like a tiny human not gonna lie. She even poses and takes pictures she is my beautiful lil show dog as well. At Christmas we got a beautiful Christmas card from the Hickory Lane Paws family I really feel like the breeder goes above and beyond for their puppies. My girl definitely got a great foundation we got a very happy loved little girl she is now 8 months old today Her name is Lulu she was born July 27th and still pictured in available puppies that found her furever home. She is a snuggle bug so if you looking for a dog that is perfection do not pass Go go get you a sweet baby from this breeder now! Warning I have had people tell me to rescue and not get from a breeder. There is no way I could have gotten a dog that was so sweet and easy to take care of anywhere else. It is not possible to rescue a dog so sweet and loved from a shelter. I have rescued in the past but my poor girl had so many issues from her past traumas it was a nightmare that dog still struggles with issues from her past. Yes every dog deserves a home but for me personally I needed a dog that could care for me at this point in my life not vice versa. I needed a problem free dog. Thank You HLP family for my Beautiful Lulu I know she was heaven sent but thank you for caring so well for her till we could love her.
