We'd been looking for a big bully and found Makua Alii of Hope Kennels. From the very first time we contacted Loretta Black, we were overwhelmed with how much passion and knowledge she had for the breed. She was very helpful and willing to work with us. A year later and we now have a total of 4 dogs from Loretta. She as well as her family have become family to us. Loretta has a tremendous amount of knowledge and has taught us so much about the breed and dogs in general. She's an excellent teacher and mentor. And, if there's anything she don't know, she will find out for you. Buying a dog from Hope Kennels isn't just that. You build a lifelong relationship with Loretta and her family. That is priceless. I'm so glad we didn't look elsewhere. Becky & Joey Kaneakalau Bully Boss Kennels Koloa, Kauai
