Very professional and made the whole process easy.
We found our new furbaby at Ali-Mae Cavaliers through Good Dog. Our breeder was helpful and kind. I had some tech issues (my lack of skill, not Good Dog's issue) and contacted their help line and received timely and effective help--I even got a live person on a Sunday! We have a beautiful, healthy pup and could not be happier with him!
Found breeder Nicole in Nevada and what a great experience speaking with her.
Nicole was so easy to talk with and had so much knowledge on all the questions I asked. I learned so much from her.
The care that she gives her puppies is awesome.
Working with Glen & Lorna on getting a puppy was wonderful! They communicated well & answered all of our questions. They raise their puppies in a loving home and the puppies are well socialized. I would highly recommend North Country Cockers and Glen & Lorna!
Hello, this is the first time I've used the GoodDog website to find a puppy with my brother. The site is very user friendly, easy to use, and has easy to use and simple features. Support was friendly and helpful, and we were able to find a new puppy in about a week or two of looking through pictures and breeder profiles. The website allows you to chat with breeders, share information, pictures, and even pay deposits, from start to finish, of the entire process for finding and purchasing a new puppy companion. Our new puppy arrives this coming Monday!
The Good Dog app made it so easy for us to connect with a verified and legitimate breeder. We sent messages and made all payments safely through the app. Now we have our new puppy! Seamless experience, thank you!
We recently had the pleasure of working with Elsa, and we couldn't be happier with our experience! My husband and I had been searching for the perfect dog when we stumbled upon Indy's photo. She immediately captured our hearts, reminding me of my beloved Australian Shepherd from my childhood.
From the moment we reached out to Elsa, her passion for the breed was evident. She responded promptly and warmly invited us to meet Indy that weekend. The moment we arrived, it was clear that this was a perfect fit. Elsa's dedication to the well-being of her dogs and her love for the breed truly stood out, confirming that we were making the right choice.
Indy is an absolute joy in our lives! She is incredibly sweet, loving, and has brought so much happiness into our home. We are so grateful to Elsa for helping us complete our family. If you're looking for a breeder who genuinely cares about her dogs and their future families, look no further than Elsa!
Thank you, Elsa, for everything!
As a breeder, Gooddog is sketchy. They don't give breeders second chances if something goes wrong with the puppy they just automatically delete their account they have worked so hard to build up. If something every was to go wrong with a puppy after the buyer gets the puppy they should educate and say this is what you need to do and just suspend their account for so many months as a punishment and if that breeder doesn't improve then there account should be deleted and they shouldn't recognize that breeding program.
We really didn't know what to expect being our 1st time. We drove 4 hours to meet the breeder and he met us after a 3 hour drive.
Cannot express enough how nice it is to have peace of mind knowing that breeders have been vetted and must meet a stringent code of ethics and practices to be listed on the Good Dog site. This is what the market has needed for a very long time!
I have several friends that use Good Dog that had 0 requirements to do any heath testing on their dogs or pups before joining the site. When I tried to join they wanted me to heath test my dogs and rejected my approval based on the type of breed I have! Good Dog is a biased JOKE!

I have been with Good Dog for quite some time, and my experience has taken a disappointing turn. Initially, I was pleased with the platform, but issues began to arise when they started collecting fees on puppy sales without any prior notification. I only found out about these charges when a buyer informed me they were charged both a deposit fee and an additional fee on the final payment. This lack of transparency is unacceptable.
Furthermore, I attempted to apply for my Frenchies, only to be rejected due to a "no Merle" policy. It's baffling to think that dogs are being discriminated against based on their color. Since when do we judge dogs in this way? After my initial denial, I was informed that I needed to wait six months and not have any Merles in my program before reapplying. I complied, rehomed my Merles, and have since had none in my program. Yet, I was denied again for the same reason!
This policy feels arbitrary and unfair. Good Dog's approach to dog breeds and colors is not only confusing but also quite frustrating. I would advise anyone considering their services to think twice. Save yourself the hassle and find a more transparent and fair platform for your dogs. Good Dog is a joke—remove your dogs from their program and look elsewhere.
Hi Xavier,
Thank you for reaching out. Although we understand that you have not been a member of our community since May, we’re happy to share more information about the recent changes we made to our pricing structure for breeders, which we announced to our community in August.
With this change, when we've done the work of connecting a Good Dog breeder with a Good Dog buyer and they decide to place one of their pups with them, there will be a 6.5% deduction applied to the deposit (if they have one) and dog payments with that buyer. We're committed to building a stronger, more sustainable platform for all our breeders, and this pricing structure helps ensure our services remain viable long-term.
All programs that are recognized on Good Dog must meet our Community Standards, Code of Ethics, and Policies, to ensure our standards are enforced consistently and fairly. We’re glad that a member of our team has already been able to connect with you and share more information about these standards and policies, including our Merle Policy. As they shared with you, Good Dog does not recognize breeding programs that produce merle French Bulldogs as outlined in Good Dog’s Policy on Merles: https://www.gooddog.com/good-breeder-center/good-dogs-policy-on-merles
We understand that our Compliance Team let you know about the necessary changes you’d need to make to your program in line with our Standards, and that should those changes be made, we’d be happy to re-evaluate your program at the end of the six month timeframe our team communicated to you.

No expert as of yet trying to find a breeder that has litter of Keeshond male puppies
I have already referred others to GoodDog. I liked that I could see who the breeder was, where they are located, and I was able to message the breeder to ask questions before reserving the puppy.
My experience with Good Dog has been excellent! Initially, I had no idea this site even existed and in fact, stumbled upon it inadvertently while looking for Goldendoodle breeders online. Admittedly, I was somewhat concerned about using such a site but after reading numerous reviews of the breeders represented and by the the site itself I felt confident enough to adopt my darling, Goldendoodle puppy, from Trisa of Forever Yours Goldendoodles. The entire process was lovely. I am so happy to have found Good Dog and to have found such a sweet, beautiful GoldenDoodle puppy who is without a doubt, the puppy of my dreams! In my experience I have found the Good Dog Site to be trustworthy, informative and just plain excellent!
I found Hood Dog while searching for Yorkie breeders near me. The website was easy to navigate and right away I found the puppy I wanted from a reputable breeder. The Good Dog staff was super helpful as I made contact with the breeder and kept their support throughout the puppy purchase process too, with several follow up emails, information about training and insurance, etc.
I purchased Bentley October 1,2022. He has such a beautiful personality & loving & affectionate puppy. His mom passed away after giving birth to him. Third of a litter of 3. The breeder OMG what a spectacular job Debi Lynn did. I call her the breeder extraordinaire. It was so evident of her love and care for the puppies. When I purchased Bentley, he was 3 months, old and train. I didn't have to do very much in regard to training him. I just picked up where she left off. We love our little boy. Thank you Debi. We live you!
If you're a dog lover, I strongly advise against visiting this site. Despite claiming to screen and feature reputable breeders, it's actually overrun by backyard breeders lacking proper registration for their dogs. Most "breeders" fail to provide pedigrees, refuse site visits, or even a simple FaceTime to show the animals' living conditions. Some breeders constantly advertise new litters every month, questioning the integrity of their breeding practices. Promoting such breeders, despite boasting about careful screening and care for animal welfare, is completely unacceptable. It's better to seek out local breeders, conduct your personal vetting, and trust your instincts. Be wary of sites that promise "secure transactions" while facilitating transactions for unscrupulous breeders preying on unsuspecting customers. These practices are misleading and should be legally challenged. If you've been affected by these scams or offered merely a partial refund, please reach out to me.

Well after searching several websites and different apps that took me to several States throughout the US a lady at a pet store mentioned the Good Dog app. I was surprised to find the beautiful little puppies I was looking for so close to home. I didn't trust some of the other people I was considering and a few never even gave their names and were all eager for me to send money.
After finding our Baby Boy@ Rose Petal Corgis and knowing she was only about 35 minutes away I decided to go with her baby. He is exactly what we wanted we got to meet him before he was old enough to come home. She was very nice and kept me updated on his health and how his days are going. I had no worries knowing he was in good spirits and almost old enough to come home. Thank you Karla Asay (Rose Petal Corgis)
