I have the best little dog of 5 years. We brought her home last May. I called DogGone Kennel several months ago and talked to Sandy. I was planning on getting a Maltese puppy. My Hubby & I visited her kennel and played with the tiny puppies who were too young to leave their mommies and talked almost 2 hours. She explained the puppies routine and what we would need to do when we brought a puppy home. I wanted to see more and the parents too. I saw her kennels and fell in love with several puppies and their Mommies. It was a very difficult decision but I decided on a Mama dog. We adopted Dixa Rose. She is very timid but will warn up with lots of love and patience. She loves playing with her toys and is now passing out kisses. Dixie has been spayed, now she does the "zoomies" several times daily. I will admit she has a mind of her own. That's the fun of owning a Maltese! I am so happy with Sandy and DogGone Puppies if you are looking for a loving puppy or dog, call her. She is the sweetest lady and treats her pups as her children. I highly recommend her.
