Becca has been extremely wonderful to work with from the very first message here on Good Dog. She has followed through with every little thing, and answered my questions very, very quickly. Becca is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I can’t say enough good things about her and this transaction. The whole experience of buying my little girl from her has been exceptional. The app has made everything smooth as well. I am now a very happy Shih Tzu owner and user of the Good Dog app. Lori Mae
