Good Dog

In the beginning I truly was on board with good dog but over time and with all their changes I quickly became disillusioned. I saw far more backyard breeders being embraced with no real health testing. Poor quality far exceeded nicer dogs in my breed. They've even embraced mixed breeds. I just stopped answering emails from potential buyers as with their changes you couldn't thoroughly screen people first. I care deeply about my breed and to me it's important to support and maintain a standard for breeding of which good dog doesn't do. Embark dna testing is not health testing for my breed. I've left the good dog program as I truly no longer believe it's in the best interest of my breed. They are a puppy broker which is against the code of ethics for most breeds.

Good dog used to be an excellent site for finding a puppy. Now they're requiring a credit card number or form of payment JUST to talk to a breeder! And they're requiring a form of payment and a deposit for EVERY breeder you contact, as a buyer. They've truly moved away from investing in the raising of healthy puppies, and now the only breeders who will stay with the site won't care about the integrity of the buyer at all. Any decent breeder wants to talk to their future puppy families, and communicate to get a feel for how the puppy will fit in to their lives. Only puppy mills don't care where their puppies go, and don't care about interacting with buyers.

I was looking for an English bulldog puppy and didn't see any on Facebook Market Place. I found Good Dog, which had a few breeders with adorable bulldog litters. I immediately applied and was shortly approved. Gooddog is such a helpful platform. The payments with the breeder were trusted and good!

I just adopted a Yorkie pup from Good Dog. I worked with Andrea Chalup and found the perfect little fur baby. I can't say enough about Andrea, she is a great breeder which is evident from the quality of the puppies. She is a family breeder the puppies are in her home with both parents present and the whole family participate in their care. Our little girl is amazing, intelligent and very alert. She was already familiar with a doggy door so potty training has been a breeze. Couldn't be happier or more in love! I highly recommend getting your new family member through Good Dog. Great company, very professional and caring breeders. I would definitely use them again. Thank you Good Dog and especially our breeder, Andrea Chalup!

I was so burnt out searching for legitimate options on finding a puppy. I am SO glad I used Good Dog, it felt safe and payments were guaranteed...as scam-proof as I found. I now have the Great Dane puppy of my dreams, from the best breeder, Greylynn Great Danes! Thank you!

As a trainer of service dogs I think a dog learns faster and is more reliable. It doesn't take me years to train a reliable service dog because my dogs understand there are consequences to not doing what they're asked. And it's not a painful consequence, but a good motivator. Like a nudge to say, "hey you, did you hear what I said?"

They kept me informed and sent pictures along the way.

I've been with Good Dog for a few years now. Their support for buyers and customers is excellent. They information is great and they are always adding new help and resources for anyone on the site buyers/sellers have unlimited information. If you have any issues or questions they are always happy to help. They appreciate any feedback to make their website more functional and user friendly.

Everyone was very nice and well informed. Knew about all the breeds and who had puppies for sale! Their follow up is also good! Nice to know that they are really concerned about getting the pups a good home that will be best for the pup and the customer! Thanks and Aloha

Prospective pet owners would benefit from contact with Good Dog to find their way through the complications with new pet ownership. All questions asked are important and fully answered, with patience knowledge, and experience. I am so relieved that I had a conversation with Good Dog and with Paul.

If you want a excellent breeder for a shih tzu, Juniverse farm is for you, wao i was impressed about everything, a house full of love, i meet his parents and they lives like princess and kings, i have a beautiful healthy boy, potty trained too i'm very happy

I bought a puppy from a breeder on their site. According to both the breeder and GoodDog, the puppy should arrive vaccinated, vet checked, and in good health. My puppy had never had any vert care at 3 months old. Had Giardia, kennel cough, and a major ear infection. My vet said another couple of days and he would have died. The breeder said I was getting the puppy like this because I got him on sale.

I sent Good Dog all the text screenshots as well as my vet bills and notes and they did facilitate a refund, however, despite my request to have the issues and receipts sent to their compliance department, almost a month later, the breeder is STILL on GoodDog selling puppies, even puppies from the SAME litter despite being negligent.

There seems to be zero moral responsibility here as GoodDog makes money off each sale.

Maybe they used to be reputable, but certainly not now.

I picked up our miniature Springerdoodle puppy 2 days ago. Heather, his breeder, was very friendly and answered all of my questions and encouraged me to contact her with any others that came up. She had also been very good at answering my pre-pickup questions. Our puppy is an absolute gem - - didn't make a sound on his 2 flights home, & has adapted to his new life very well. After 1st checkup yesterday, his vet said he was socially very healthy as well as physically. I would definitely recommend using GoodDog as the first point in searching for a new dog.

Good Dog is an amazing resource, for both breeders & puppy buyers.
Good Dog takes the leg work out of verifying breeders are responsible, ethical, and breeding health tested dogs.

Good Dog makes it easy, the entire transaction can be done through them, from browsing to payment.
Good dog offers many tools and resources to their breeders, including but not limited to monthly discounts, education, webinars with veterinarians, and reproductive specialists. I truly cannot say enough about Good Dog!

It's so worth it to know you are getting a healthy puppy from a responsible breeder, and not supporting puppy mills. When you get a puppy from Good Dog you can guarantee you're getting a healthy puppy from a loving, experienced breeder.

From the moment we began our search for a furry new baby we were impress By the ease of using this website! And the choices that were represented and the quality of breeders were absolutely the deciding factor in choosing GOOD DOG! And don't ever feel as if you are on an island when dealing with these people. Their customer service has gone above the call of duty during each interaction. I am a huge fan and a proponent of GOOD DOG!

The breeder quickly replied to our questions and provided details to support making a decision on which option to choose for our new companion. Love our new puppy from Dreamcatchers Corgis!

Great customer service. Once I finished setting everything up I realized I had made a mistake and they quickly helped me fix it. I love that I can post multiple pictures of my litter and the parents of the put.

I find a lot of great buyers through gooddog.com that is they find me. I am a breeder and I love that I can list the testing reports and pictures of my dogs and anyone with an account can look it up. This offers the kind of transparency that is needed in the dog breeding/buying process. They also have resources for both breeder and buyer to improve their processes and outcomes. I love the webinars and testing lists by breed. If you want a really good dog you should start your search there!

Gooddog use to be a great site to find breeders but now they are requiring everyone put their credit card information in and set up payment schedule in order to secure a puppy with a breeder and that is scary! I do not like my information online and I should be allowed as a buyer to set up pickup with breeder and pay with cash so my credit card information isn't floating around online. Gooddog, this is completely ridiculous! Since when is it forbidden to pay with cash?! C'mon now! You're starting to be no better than these other websites you find puppies on and hope and pray you don't fall victim! DO BETTER!

I contacted so many breeders and my whole experience was horrible. Only one breeder bothered to contact me and they flat out lied to me and not to mention they had me thinking they had puppies and then no puppies. Of course now they don't respond at all. I will let all my friends and family know what an racket they run!

Good Dog is 100% legit. I used Good Dog to buy a Golden Retriever puppy through a breeder. I had a very positive experience. Good Dog helped me find a breeder with an available litter, helped me decide which transportation option was best, and they were so helpful throughout the entire process whenever I had questions.

I was able to process applications and find the perfect home for my litter. The good dog took all the guess work out of the process. The applicants can read about you and your litter and decide to apply. I placed 2/3 of my puppies through this app and the staff always reached out to see if I needed any help.

I breed fine Chihuahuas. I am passionate about their health, their pedigrees, and their sweet dispositions. I breed them because I love them and I am passionate about making great matches, placing my puppies in homes where they will be cherished for life.
Good Dog came along and recognized my breeding practices and my business practices. I was satisfied with my own vetting results, but Good Dog brought me more qualified, pre-vetted buyers, took my business from local to national, and provided seamless funds transfer. My puppy buyers have become a great, extended family where, as Grampa, I receive a steady stream of photos of my puppies as they grow up, wearing warm sweaters, having steak at the family favorite steakhouse, all snuggled up in the blanket I gave them, and videos of my happy babies going on their "zoomies."
Good Dog has excelled at the things that matter most to me--the welfare of my puppies, for life.
