Douglas has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready, reach out to ask about the puppies or anything else on your mind. You’ll get to know each other through messaging, phone, or video and pay securely, all on Good Dog.

“Prices are not changed based on color or sex. All puppies will be the same price in that litter and is based on cost to produce the litter. Deposits are 500.00 and non refundable. A puppy is not counted as yours until you’ve placed that deposit.”

This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase. If Douglas offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don't hesitate to reach out to Douglas directly.
When you pay and communicate on Good Dog, you’re covered by Payment Protection.

Growing quickly. Still a small boy but he’s very brave. Loves to snuggle and give kisses. We’ve been exposed to traffic noises recently and not phased at all.

About Rowena
Rowena is my little fireball. She loves activity and anything you are up for she is also up for, the faster the better. But she has an off switch and is also happy to cuddle on the couch.

We are very happy with our puppy! Super cute and smart. The most important thing is that she seems happy and not an anxious dog. It seems like she was very well cared for from birth. :)
