Nervous Out-of-State Buyer, now exceedingly happy

I live in Arizona and was extremely nervous about purchasing a puppy out of state, and I try to be a good pup owner and avoid puppy mills. But I couldn’t find a mini-bernedoodle in AZ in our budget and so I reached out to the Bernedoodles. I was still very nervous but I scheduled a facetime call, cross referenced them with the BBB and puppy mill lists from Ohio, searched for review and complaints and all my efforts seemed to indicate they are a good breeder. Our puppy arrived a few days ago, transported to our door as promised. he was clean, healthy, happy and pretty smart it seems thus far. We are thrilled with him, he is everything that we asked for.
