although I was apprehensive about getting a puppy without going directly to a breeder, I was more than thrilled with our beautiful Golden puppy. We immediately had him vet checked and was assured that he was a healthy, happy, well adjusted puppy. We have since received his AKC registration with his pedigree. I would definately purchase another puppy from pikapup without hesitation. the kennel was clean and the people were very nice and helpful and the puppies all appeared to be healthy, clean and well taken care of
