I feel really lucky that we stumbled upon NI Pups as we found our first puppy! We had little experience as dog owners, and were looking for a good addition to our family as company for our 7 year old. While we believe in the ethics of rescue dogs, we were nervous about bringing home a dog with a history we didn’t know but also nervous about dodgy breeders you hear horror stories about. Thankfully, from the moment we started contact with Lisa at NI Pups, I was so impressed! She was thorough, clearly caring and informed. I loved that our family was being vetted and checked out every step of the way, from garden safety to ‘who’s at home’ schedules — they clearly care about the puppies’ welfare which really reassured me. Lisa & Gerry helped prep our family AND our puppy , getting her lead-ready, microchipped, vaccinated, laying the foundation of her recall & training , and helping us with expert guidance on how to welcome our pup into our lives. Lisa & Gerry’s after-care has been gold standard—following up regularly after we took our puppy home to see how we all are doing! I’m incredibly grateful for how finding NI Pups has been an unexpectedly supportive transition into ‘puppy owner’ life. Our puppy’s temperament is perfect for our family —she is chilled out, patient with our daughter’s love, loving,happy and intelligent. Dog-owner friends have been impressed with her too and commented on what good-quality breeders NI Pups must be to create a puppy like her. I highly recommend Lisa, Gerry & NI Pups! I can’t stress how grateful we are to have found them, and if we were to get another pup, we would definitely be going back to them!!
