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.

Meeting Delia was like a dream come true. She truly loves what she does as a breeder and puts her heart & soul into finding the right match. She communicates like no other and is super thorough in all her replies and guidance. Her dogs are absolutely AMAZING! She helped us to find our perfect fits! We're in LOVE with our new pups, and we're so very grateful. Couldn't be happier!
I wanted a Shih Tzu puppy that was within 3 hours of my home and was bred from a good breeder. I found the good dog app… where they vet all their breeders. I was able to type in what I wanted! It was simple and easy. The breeders sent pictures and explanations on the dogs as well as themselves. After reviewing those breeders, the distance from my home and explanations about the dogs I picked my dog. I then applied to get him and now I have my pretty cute puppy at home. The transaction was great. The communication from the breeder was good, she included pictures and video! I will highly recommend this app to all my friends and family when wanting a new dog!
Anna was so great to work with! She reached out right away. Her videos were so fabulous! The process was so easy. I flew to Kansas City Mo international airport. Picked up my puppies right in baggage claim. She went with me to check in for my departure flight. Made sure I had everything I needed to get my puppies on board. Prior to my flight, she provided with the information on taking two puppies on my flight. My Particular airline…very informative I was very well taken care of during the process.
Kind and loving people!
Searching, paying and connecting with the breeder was seamless. We have our girl at home with us and we are thrilled.
The search and communication with breeder were very easy. We were able to connect with an amazing breeder and found an absolute wonderful puppy. Service fro GoodDog made the process very streamlined
We drove from California to Arizona to buy our little 7wk old puppy. The breeding Jen had stayed in touch with for weeks with wonderful puppy photos. It was a little hard to pay through Good Dog on line. But we appreciated the thoroughness of the company.
Our breeder Nayeli made the experience easy and pleasant. Very helpful and always available to answer concerns. Our family is complete
It's been a great experience! We lost our Yorkie at the age of 13. So we knew we wanted another male Yorkie! And it's been so great working with our breeder! Getting pictures and updates and etc.
Good dog was great at relaying messages between breeder and buyers. Messages answered in a timely manner. Smooth transaction when paying for puppies. Love the training information and overall experience.
I like good dog because it made me feel safe, in today's world there is scammers all over the Internet, not to mention you can see your pup as they develop and gets you in touch with the breeders, and they give you tips as well. TY 😊 Good dog.
I had an amazing experience with Tatum through this app and in person. Originally "Dove", Darla became available suddenly after someone had dropped out of adopting her. I couldn't be more grateful for the fact that this puppy just practically fell into my life from that point forward. Such a communicative, smart, good girl (who gets all the love), i'm just overall so happy to have her in my life. It's been a dream for about four years now which is finally coming true. Each day I fall more and more in love! Tatum was amazing with sending updates, communicated well, even through any struggles or such in transportation and vet visits she was always very upfront. Couldn't be happier with how things ended up in the end, and I'm so happy to finally have her with me!
I lost my 15 year old Yorkshire Terrier about 6 weeks ago and I have been really grief-stricken ever since. I know that another dog is never a replacement for a dog lost but after a while, I started searching the internet. Initially I was looking for a rescue like my last one, but it was becoming difficult to find an adult Yorkie to rescue. So after many weeks of looking, I decided to look at puppies. The Good Dog website was one of the easiest ones to navigate and had a wide selection of Yorkshire Terriers. Several breeders replied to me but after connecting with Amanda Harrington, I decided on choosing her 6 month old Yorkshire Terrier "Zane". She was prompt in replying to my inquiries and very helpful throughout the entire process of procuring this little bundle of love! I highly recommend this site to anyone.
My adoption experience was awesome. Valarie was very responsive, answered all my questions, sent updates and pictures. She even met us 1/2 way for pick up. Valarie also followed up afterwards to make sure all was going well. My puppy Ryley (formerly Chonk), is very sweet and loving. He was already started on potty training, which was helpful. I would highly recommend Valarie and her pupsx
The website was easy to navigate. I worked with a professional reputable breeder. Theresa kept me updated on harlows well being and sent many pictures of her. Harlow is everything I wanted in a puppy and is a true gift to me. I had Harlow shipped up here by a courier his name was jaja. Also very professional and sent me updates along the way. Could not have been happier with her care.
We had an amazing experience with Good Dog and the lady who got us our new precious pup. Everything went so smoothly.
I stumbled onto the Good Dog site, just looking around and fell in love with Daisy from Shelley's French Bulldogs. I decided to just email and express our wish to have her. 15 minutes later after reading Good Dogs terms and conditions we had put down the deposit and arranged to pick her up that weekend. This was Wednesday night. We picked her up Sunday morning and drove back home and couldn't be happier. Thank you Good Dog, and Shelley's French Bulldogs. We are one happy family. Rebecca Roberts
Good Dog has the entire process of finding and adopting a dog/pup worked out so there is no question what the adopter's next steps are. The breeders are great (ethical, helpful, accommodating) and the pups are so adorable! I could not be happier with the pup I will be getting this month.
Efficient pleasant process and breeder and her family seemed to really care about the puppy's well being
Marsha great lady. She was able to determine that my girls are leaving a dream Diva life, traveling the world. She has a great character and very important, quiet. Even after two days, not one bark.
Awesome! There is no other way to describe. The process was very easy. My breeder was so kind kept us updated on our puppy. Very willing to meet and deliver our puppy. I would definetly recommend Good Dog to anyone looking for a new addiction.
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.
