I went through the application process and it is thorough but a joke and yes I could be one of their excellent breeders but would not want to be included as their criteria allows large commercial breeders to be excellent. The health testing for excellent does not meet the minimums set by breed club, excellent should mean at least the minimum testing set forward for a CHIC certificate. They sell themselves as screening breeders but THEY ARE NOT DOING A GOOD JOB OF THIS AS IT WOULD RESTRICT WHO WAS LISTED ON THEIR SITE THERFORE CUT INTO SALES. If they actually only allowed top of the line breeders, they certify breeders that do not do the bare minimum of recommended testing. They certify breeders that are not trying to better the breed. This is a pet brokerage service and that should scare anyone looking to use them to find a puppy as they are making money by certifying breeders. Buyer beware they talk a good game but I would recommend you go to the breed club of the breed you are looking for for breeder recommendations not a website that is taking a % of the sale price. Yuck no better than Petland.
I went in person found the puppy that I would love to have Meka terrific and shares his progress
Smooth experience……………………………,…………………………………………………….
The site thinks of all your needs, sellers are responsible, loving, and caring people.

Easy to see all the puppies it says something about them as well as the breeder
Breeder met at the airport and was friendly and professional

All my questions were addressed professionally and politely.

Hi Ellen,
Thank you so much for sharing your feedback. I’m sorry that our screening process didn’t meet your expectations. We are always open to constructive feedback and are incredibly grateful to you for sharing your concerns with us.
At Good Dog, we value our Community Standards, but also recognize that not everyone will agree with those standards. We do our best to ensure that we apply our standards and screening criteria fairly to each breeder that we screen. When screening breeders, we take a holistic approach to evaluating their whole program. Our team comprehensively considers many aspects of a breeding program, focusing on five key areas: breeding practices, physical health of the breeding dog and puppies, mental health of the breeding dog and puppies, environment, and buyer education and policies. You can learn more about our community standards and our screening process here: gooddog.com/standards-and-screening.
Also, the Good Dog community is completely free for breeders and buyers and we do not take a percentage of sales.
If you or anyone ever has concerns about a breeder recognized by us, we encourage you to reach out to us by emailing help@gooddog.com or give us a call at 855.446.6336 so that we can look into the situation. Again, thank you for sharing your concerns and feedback - we wish you all the best!
