Good Dog

I give Good Dog 5 stars. Finally a great site that good breeders can post their kennel info and list their puppies on.

I was impressed with how quickly they responded to a question. Very professional. Very knowledgeable.

I have used good dog for years and for many of my litters. I took a small break from breeding and when I started back went straight back to this platform.

I filled out my information like normal and seemed to have had no issues.
Then I get flagged for wording due to payments. I've always used good dog for the deposits on my litters, but if people want to pay cash at the time of the pick up of the puppy I allow that.
I understand this due to so many wanting to come view and have the ease of cash at pick up, plus meeting me at my farm and knowing I'm a safe breeder. I too am like this when I purchase my own pups.

Yet, instead of good dog reaching out via phone or email to go into depth on why my account was flagged, they froze my account. They then tell me I am not allowed to take outside payments and not use their site, (They get fees off any money transferred) hence my account is frozen. I immediately started calling, left a voice-mail and emailed out to them as well as texted them trying to fix this issue and explain why I do what I do and have never be told this before.

They wrote back via email instead of phone call as to give me details on how I am to accept payments only through them, even as "in person payments". After reading this, I was willing to correct all my information on my account immediately, and wrote them back via email, due to never getting an actual person on the line as many times as I tried the previous day, and they responded again via email and said due to policy they would not unfreeze my account until the allotted time was up.
This is costing me valuable advertising time and is quite frustrating.
You would think for a breeder who has been with them for a long time, they would be willing to help and work with them on these newer changes.
Very disappointed in this site and not sure if I will use it anymore.
This all could have easily been fixed via phone conversation to help walk me through the issue and on fixing it together, yet they were unwilling to do so.

So breeders beware so as not to make the mistakes I did and be ready to be frozen if so with no personal help if the case arises.

Regardless of the questsions at hand the website was easy to use and kept checking on my progress with reminders and encouragement.

My wife and I recently used Good-Dog to find a dog breeder We were looking for a West Highland White Terrier We were reluctant to use online services to find a dog because of no physical contact
Good-Dog paired us with a breeder that was excellent and very knowledgeable with her trade - Deana Raymond was a very good communicator She text us photos at least twice a week of our puppies progress which made our online experience very physical, the photos showed a loving relationship between the breeder and the litter of puppies
We used a transport service that was provided by Deana to get our puppy from Alabama to Seattle The nanny Amanda also made photos of the trip and kept us touch all the way She was very caring she said that Mac didn't give her any trouble at all during the two flights and was very quiet
Mac arrived in good spirit and in excellent heath with shot records up to date and all of his papers in order Deana called us to make sure Mac arrived safely and told us that missing the puppy caused her to shad tears on the way home from the airport Truly a sign of a caring breeder
Working with Good-Dog and Deana Raymond made our online purchase very personal and exhilarating five stars for alll Thank You

Breeders were honest. I was worried about losing deposit. I have heard bad stories. It was smooth as silk.

We take our 10 month old puppy there every week and also for overnight. We couldn't be more pleased w his care!

Absolutely the best! I recommend!

You will be satisfied.you do not have to worry about being scammed on this site.

These people really care about their dogs and the pet parents. They follow up on inquiries right away.

I was communicating through this website with a Border Collie Breeder in Maine. Breeder's initial communications indicated that she would refund if she didn't have a puppy in her upcoming litter that was right for us. Puppies were born and she misrepresented which dogs she had. She posted that she had (2) female Blue Merles, when she only had one and that one was taken though it was posted as "Available." Went to Maine, 5 hour + drive for us to choose a puppy. Found out only (1) Blue Merle and all ready taken.
We decided that were were not happy with the last choice amongst the females and her practices. Told breeder at least (3) weeks before pick up date for the puppies that we were not interested in the other puppy. Breeder would not refund the initial deposit and an additional deposit of $500 to keep the dog until it was 3 months old.
CONTACTED GOOD DOG- ALL THEY DID WAS CONTACT THE BREEDER AND BELIEVE HER, WITHOUT LOOKING AT THE COMMUNICATIONS! THEY WILL NOT HELP WITH A LEGITIMATE CONCERN BACKED UP BY WRITTEN FACTS.
STAY AWAY FROM GOOD DOG AND: ASHLEY HOLLOWAY- BIRCH HILL KENNELS, EMBDEN, ME

Good Dog makes it so easy to get a dog. From finding, communication, to payment. Highly recommend!

Immediately when I completed my application I was notified of my pending application. And Good Dog has been following up with me.

We purchased our male Great Dane pup from a breeder Brittany Smoot in Yreka, CA on Good Dog. BIG mistake! We had just lost our 8 yr old Great Dane and looked at various breeders for a new pup. Unfortunately we decided on one w/ Good Dog. He's been sick since day one w/ chronic diarrhea and GI issues, needs eye surgery on both eyes and remains ill today as his health issues are congenital and hereditary. Eyes, extreme GI issues, congenital ear deformity, and an overbite. Our vet bills have mounted and continue. The breeder misrepresented herself and the health of our pups parents. She was difficult to get ahold of. Didn't respond when she committed to. Vacillated between things she stated and lied to us. She finally told us that our pup had had diarrhea 4 days prior to us picking up our pup and that several other pups from the litter also had health/eye issues as well and stated she should have been more diligent about looking into the health of the sire. We finally demanded a total refund after 3 months, which we received the funds. We reached out to Good Dog and have never heard back even after their statement of commitment. We are considering filing a lawsuit against both the breeder as well as Good Dog. Our suggestion is that you stay away from Good Dog and this breeder out of Yreka, CA. People like this should NEVER BREED ANIMALS and should be ashamed of themselves!

We liked our experience. The website is to the point, customer service is accurate. The breeder was great and dog is healthy so far!

Make sure you fill out an application as soon as you know you want to reserve a puppy. You don't pay a deposit at this point.

Very friendly person called me but she couldn't find the kind of dog I was looking for. She did search for me and tried. Much appreciated

Everyone was very knowledgeable and professional. I highly recommend this company to others interested in purchasing a new puppy.
