“It’s been super hard finding a dog to adopt during Covid that would meet my rental/no fenced in yard/small dog approval only/therapy dog for the work I do. And outside of Good Dog I was struggling with finding good breeders, running into scams and excessive prices as my boyfriend and I are saving for a house - the prices were just not feasible. Somehow I stumbled upon Good Dog - not only did the set up of the site make it easy to get all the information you needed from a breeder but it simplified the application process and connected me with a breeder 100% met my needs. My puppy comes to me at the end of December and I could not be more excited. He is a mini dachshund (my dream dog) and will be trained to be a therapy dog to come to work with me daily as I run activities at a local dementia unit. He’s going to make the biggest difference in this world and I couldn’t have dreamed of finding a better breeder- so loving and helpful.”
“The site was easy to manage. The sort features were very helpful. The best thing about the site is I was looking at reputable breeders. That is not the case with other sites.
I did find a puppy. We will be receiving her in the spring.”
“Great site! I highly recommend. Made my search for an English Bulldog so much easier. It’s very informative and so many breeders to choose from. I highly recommend Good Dog!”
“I appreciated being able to utilize a website that gave me access to a list of various breeders who have been vetted. It was easy to navigate the website and communicate with the breeders. We found our place and are now waiting for our pup!”
“Stumbled upon your site and it was so reassuring to know I was being helped to narrow down my search to respectable breeders. TY!! And I matched up with Vandenbark Breeders and it has been such a joy working with Taylor already!!”
“I am truly shocked how fluid and simple the process was. All other sites I found were either scams, had gross upcharges, or were breeders booked into the next 10 years. I still can’t believe how simple this process was. My new best friend will be here soon thanks to Good Dog :)”
“When my husband and I started to consider working with a breeder we were overwhelmed. Did we just pick a state and Google breeders in the area? How did we know if they were reputable? It seemed like there should be an easier way. Then I discovered Good Dog through a message board of others with the same interests and it changed everything.
Good Dog allowed us to create a tailored search and then view profiles created by breeders that included info on dog health, puppy raising methods, GANA membership, pricing, availability and more - all in one place. No visiting individual websites and searching for details necessary. We easily created a short list, did outreach directly through Good Dog and then followed up with the breeders that interested us. We’ve found a great match for us and couldn’t be more thrilled! We will definitely recommend Good Dog to others in the future - it was invaluable.”
“I was looking to fine a Golden Retriever puppy and found Golden Cellers a breeder from Florida. I was put in contact with the breeder directly and filled out an application. The breeder and Good Dog were both very responsive. It was a very positive experience and I would highly recommend both. We adopted a beautiful Male Golden and he is incredible in every way. Michele Powers truly cares about each of her puppies and spend endless hours with them and send videos and training g tips along the way. We could not be happier! Thanks to all who made this adoption possible!”
“We found a great breeder from your sight. We chose Piney Woods Standard Poodles. Expect to pickup our puppy 9.26.20.
Loved using your sight, it was very useful. I was able to research many different breeders near me and I chose the one that best fit us.
Thanks again!
Karen Cunningham”
“I have been working with Rick at Bluegrass Blueticks and he is amazing. I can not believe the amount of time he not only puts into the pups but also us. He sends videos, answers questions, and keeps me updated almost daily. I love watching the puppy grow especially being out of state. I can not say enough about my experience. Thank you Good dog for leading me to him.”
“Good Dog was able to find me a reliable and good breeder. I love my cockapoo and hes super healthy! Dare to doodle has exceptional service and was always attentive. My husband and I love our pup”
“Since I already talked about the good, I would talk about possible improvements. Some breeders made us fill applications outside of good dog as well. It would be nice if only one application has to be filled.”
“After months of researching and searching for a Mini Bernadoodle, only to be confronted with waitlists or prices up to $8000 on the internet, I discovered GoodDog and through the site, a wonderful breeder. It seemed like the connection was destiny and things moved forward better than I ever expected. The beautiful F1 Mini-B is expecting her first litter of pups in no time now and I am beyond excited.”
“After searching online for a new healthy puppy which can be quite challenging and over-whelming, I came upon Good Dog. They made it simple to find a good source for a breeder. We knew we had to be careful to make sure the breeder was reputable and had the best interest of their puppies and who they are placed with in mind. Good Dog provided a comprehensive questionnaire to get to know us and what traits we wanted in a puppy and then another form to evaluate specific needs such as your life style and activity ie want a running mate or just want a companion. This was all done with privacy for us as well as the breeder. Once in contact with the breeder, we couldn't say enough about our experience. They were very informative, supportive and provided answers to all questions in a timely manner. Also provided pictures and video of the litter and introduced each puppy. The breeder truly cares about each and every puppy and has a strong desire to place in the best home possible. We now appreciate the vetting process through Good Dog to make that happen and put our minds at ease. We look forward to picking up our little one soon.”
“Good Dog has created a seamless platform connecting eager family’s with legitimate breeders. It’s a confidence booster to know that every precaution has been taken to cover both parties involved. In essence it safeguards those prone to making emotionally inspired decisions while prompting a critical assessment of what’s in the best interest of the puppy. Thank you for guided support.”
“We started looking for a dog/puppy about 2 months ago and quickly realized that it is not an easy process. You have to sign your name in blood to get on a list to adopt a dog, It was not an easy process. After we decided we really wanted a German Shepherd (having had them in the past) we felt that getting a puppy was the best fit for our situation. Searching for a breeder on the internet is not easy. Covid-19 makes it hard to connect or to see the situations that puppies are raised in. We finally found Good Dog and found a breeder that has already been vetted. It gave us an extra measure of reassurance to know that Good Dog has done some of the homework for us. We are currently waiting on a puppy from Von Dawn German Shepherds. I was impressed with the application process and also spoke iwth Dawn for about an hour on the phone before sending in my deposit. She was able to answer my major questions and was able to tell that she is a careful breeder who loves her dogs. Can't wait for our new baby to be old enough to bring home! And we appreciate the help from Good Dog in finding her.”
“Vinton Valley, a Florida breeder of Australian Labradoodles is operating a Puppy Scam and she has a listing on Good Dog. Yvette Vinton, the owner of the company took a $500 deposit from me early May 2020 for a puppy. Despite her multiple promises that she would have puppies available, she has no pregnant Dams and no puppies available 3 months later. She told me that she has received dozens of deposits and there are no puppies, per her own website. I complained to Good Dog and sent them extensive documentation, They sent me an email that her business does not violate their "Community Standards at this time" and they are not going to remove her listing. Apparently running a Pet Scam is not enough for Good Dog to ban a bad breeder from using their site to collect deposits from trusting people like me. I am very disappointed in Good Dog's business model.”
