Lonnie is an outstanding breeder! We were about to leave on an emergency trip out of town when I had found our new puppy, Rae, with him. He agreed to hold her until we got back with a slightly larger deposit, which we had no problem with. He stayed in touch with us through the whole 2 weeks, giving us updates on Rae. He was always very quick and friendly to respond to all of my questions (I had ALOT ... lol). I have already referred Lonnie to a friend of mine, and I will continue to refer him. I highly recommend!
