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 platform’s 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.

Southern tribute and good dog were wonderful in helping us find a puppy. Our little Belmont is adorable and so full of energy! Southern tribute was super friendly and they kept us updated which was awesome, we got to watch our little belmont grow and be included from the very beginning. Belmont is currently zooming around our living room and we have southern tribute to thank for letting us get this adorable guy
This was such an amazing experience. Our breeder, Ashely, was very helpful and responsive. On top of that, she's breeding very heathy and beautiful puppies. We got a clean bill of health from our vet and you can tell our puppy has been very well socialized and raised with love & care prior to picking her up.
I am very pleased with my Puppy from Good Dog. My experience with them and Kristy her Breeder was great. I would recommend them both.
From the moment I saw Frannie's cute little face on this site, the breeder, Donna, made the process simple. She was very quick with her responses to my questions and was accommodating right up to the very end. A true professional.
I enjoyed working with Cathy. A pleasant and uncomplicated experience. Very helpful.
Responded quickly to my questions.
Breeder was very helpful and knowledgeable. She went above and beyond to make it a good experience. Puppy is adorable and very loving.
As a first time, dog buyer, I was a bit worried about where to go to purchase a puppy. But the gooddog website offered a process that made me trust the transaction with each breeder that I encountered.
Found the perfect Yorkie, the breeder was very responsive and provided so much information about the dog of 10 weeks. We have had No issues with his health and the breeder was will for us to contact her in the future if we needed.
This app was recommended by a friend. Once I found a puppy I was interested in, connecting with them was fantastic and easy! Payments were easy, although a couple of fees were quite surprising. Picking up the puppy was easy, as well. The breeder was willing to meet halfway. I was provided with information on care and vaccinations. At my puppy's first vet appointment, the clinic was quite impressed with the puppy's health and documentation that the breeder included. All around great experience! I highly recommend the app, but more importantly the breeders.
There are so many breeders around the country. How do you know who to choose? We did discover our breeder through the internet. It was love at first sight and we were sure we had found the right puppy even though we had not met the breeder or puppy. We reached out to our breeder who answered all our questions and reinforced for us that these were the puppies we wanted. Yes we got two German Shepherd puppies. Our breeder was quick to tell us about the Good Dog program and from that point on we felt very secure in dealing with a breeder we had never met. We feel Good Dog and our breeder looked out for us to make sure we felt secure in purchasing our puppies. We would certainly recommend if you are looking for a new family family to begin with Good Dog.
I love Good Dog for connecting buyers and breeders of quality puppies! I placed 5 out of 6 puppies with excellent buyers!
Picking up my new baby from Crown Royal doxies was a wonderful experience. It was so easy to communicate with them and then the pick up was smooth and easy.
I'm so glad I found Good Dog online which led me to my little buddy. Tabitha at TNT Puppies was very helpful throughout the process. She allowed us to meet our pup in person prior to him being ready, and sent pics and video updates each week until pickup. I recommend 100%.
Our family was mourning over the loss of our 15 year old Schnoodle for three weeks, before we found the most beautiful 8-week old black Schnoodle puppy through Gooddog. Com. The puppy's name was Bow, and she was breed and nurtured by a very knowledgeable, pleasant, and professional lady named Raven, in Kansas City. She did an excellent job managing all aspects of this joyous experience. Our former Schnoodle was named Luna, which means "moon" in Spanish. We wanted to give our new puppy a name that conveyed the next generation, and coincided with the name of her predecessor, so we choose LuLu. When I transported LuLu to her new home in Spicewood Texas, many travelers mentioned that my puppy was adorable and extremely well behaved. She is the most intelligent puppy I have ever known, and she has adapted very well to her new home. Lulu and our two family cats have become best buddies.
Laura was very responsive and sent videos and answered every question I had, I'd recommend her to anyone
Puppy is adorable Breeder was super friendly and helpful there's a money back guarantee that puts you at ease
Easy and helpful website to use. The messaging and payment formats all in the same conversation place is helpful. 10/10
I was a little apprehensive about using an app to purchase a puppy, but once I chose my pup from Good Dog, the breeder reached out and was available for any questions we had. The app was super easy to use and I really felt comfortable with my decision. We face-timed with the breeder and was kept up to date on our pups activities, which was really appreciated. I will use this app again and will purchase from Hannah Mae Doodles - Hannah was amazing! Thanks Good Dog for helping me get my sweet Vincent!
I was put in touch with a wonderful breeder who communicated promptly and clearly. The puppy was beautiful and healthy.
We got our sweet boy Otto from Henny Huff and couldn't be happier! He's the perfect puppy—happy, healthy, and such a joy to have in our family. From the moment we connected with Henny, she kept us updated with weekly pictures and notes until it was time to bring him home. Otto has an amazing temperament—calm and relaxed (with the occasional case of zoomies!) and is so gentle with our kiddos (ages 3 and 10 months). You can tell he came from a loving, well-socialized environment. We highly recommend Henny Huff—5 stars all the way!
