""Katrina from Little Lion Puppies is a wonderful breeder. We were looking for a brindle female and my daughter found the perfect puppy at Little Lion Puppies. We were hesitant because they were very far away but she was what we wanted for so long. So we reached out and having had several litters myself understand what breeders go through and Katrina gave us the utmost respect and consideration in finding our new best friend. She kept us updated all the way through and went out of her way to make our experience better than we could ever imagine. Her puppies are very well loved and taken care of.""

"Saying goodbye to our dog of 13 years last month was the hardest thing we’ve been through yet. Before finding Katrina, I contacted a couple of other breeders, neither of which even acknowledged my loss, just got into particulars about what dogs were available. Katrina was different. She touched on our loss, even told me about how it felt to lose her own. She guided me every step of the way, being that this was our first experience with a breeder. Katrina asked me to send a shirt with all of our scents on it to our puppy so he could become familiar with us. She even started calling him the name we picked out so he’d know his name. "

"Katrina was amazing and so helpful! She sent lots of updates and photos and obviously really cares for her puppies! The Good Dog app is so easy to use! I completely loved my whole experience!"
