Good Dog has garnered a reputation for facilitating a seamless and trustworthy experience in connecting potential puppy owners with vetted breeders. Customers appreciate the user-friendly app, responsive customer service, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing breeders adhere to strict ethical standards. However, some breeders express frustration over the platformβs stringent policies and lack of transparency regarding fees and breed restrictions, which they find arbitrary and unfair. Overall, while many users celebrate their positive experiences, concerns about fairness and communication highlight areas for potential improvement in the company's approach.

Rachel is an amazing breeder/trainer!
Our puppy (8 weeks) is well groomed, trained & healthy. We couldn't be happier! Thank you! Kevin & Mary Jo Villa Park, IL
We made contact with Fetching Aussies and the were just wonderful. They were so helpful and just full of knowledge. They met us to deliver our beautiful little girl and we couldn't be happier.
I loved knowing my breeder who is never met was vetted. My breeder has been exemplary. When a service issue happened on the app Good Dog was quick to resolve.
I found that being able to talk with the breeder on-line and by phone so great. I was able to explain what I was looking for and they were able to make a recommendation. They addressed my concerns and put me at ease. The whole process was very easy. In the future I will use Good Dog again.
Found and purchased two puppies. Good Dog helped throughout the entire process. Made the entire process feel more professional.
Everything was done in a professional manner. Records tracking, shots and they even gave us a goodie bag with food treats and toys. Blanca was great she is the Goldendoodle lady to go to.
After losing our precious Juliet to MVD we wanted to do our due diligence and find a breeder that might lessen the health risks. Good Dog was a God send and did the vetting for us. Breeder was excellent and couldn't be happier with our new baby Martini. πΈ
Everything went quickly and smoothly

I felt comfortable the entire experience. The breeder was lovely and sent me photos every now and then. We picked our puppy up with no issues. Very smooth.
Absolutely the best for selection. Most important was knowing that my deposit and payment were guaranteed. I've heard of so many people paying for dogs when it was just a scam and they lost all their money. Good Dog allowed me to be confidant in my decision!
Love the baby we now have. She's so wonderful and we enjoyed working with the breeder. They were very hands on and knowledgeable. You can tell they love their pups.
My experience in getting a new puppy from Berry dachshunds was exceptional. The breeder contacted me multiple times and sent photos and videos. We were even able to visit the puppy before pick up because we live locally.
I reached out to Jared of Blue Ridge Shadow Huskies about a puppy from one of his litters. That one had found a home but his lhalf brother Astro was available. Jared answered my questions promptly and patiently. Astro exceeded our expectations. He's very friendly, loving, and intelligent. Some of the skills he already does well with are stairs, car rides, potty training, and grooming. We're working on loose leash walking which he doesn't seem to mind. Our first week has been great and we are looking forward to years of happiness.
I was apprehensive at first to give $1700 for a dog before seeing the dog. I expressed this apprehension to Justin the breeder and he assured me it was safe and after a 5 hour trip to San Antonio, I brought home my Shih Tzu puppy! My family was so in love with the first puppy, I went back the next day and bought another! I was tired but it was worth it, these two puppies are loving life and our family is giving them the love they deserve. Thank you to Justin and his wife!
The breeder I found included a video of her pups playing together. It told me everything I needed to know. My pup was healthy, smart, funny, and gorgeous! It was easy to communicate and we soon met. My darling Chihuahua pup is beyond wonderful, she is the best dog I've ever had! I am so grateful to have found her through your service. My breeder is a pro. Thank you.
I'm so lucky I found this puppy. She's going to enhance my life, keep me off the sofa, and be my travel buddy.
Did not want a "puppy". Looking for older pup. Found 6 mo old and she is perfect. Breeder was wonderful texting and face timing back and forth. Kept in touch daily. Met us at a dog park. Answered questions- continues to answer questions.
First time using Good Dog and have nothing bad to say about it.
Love my girls (2 Mini Goldendoodles) and my experience was great.
Susan is the real thing. Everything went so smoothly. She absolutely loves her pups and really takes the extra time to make sure they are going to good homes. I loved that. She is passionate about her job. You can tell. Everything was so organized. Paperwork, shot records, food type, just Everything. We love our sweet Charlie. I highly recommend Susan. I would buy another pup from her in the future.
I felt so much better knowing that the breeders I was looking at were screened by Good Dog and were trust worthy. I got a response back from a breeder within 10 minutes and had a visit scheduled to see a puppy that weekend. After seeing the puppy I fell in love and we were able to pick him up a week later! It was the easiest process and paying through the app made me feel better that everything was secure.
Answer: Completely legitimate company for dog breeders, groomers, trainers, and buyers.
Answer: I found Gooddog.com and found reputable dog breeders. Breeders who have been around for several years who provide references. I will be getting a puppy in a spring litter.
