We cannot recommend this Italian Greyhound breeder highly enough! From our very first interaction, she was incredibly friendly, kind and quick to respond to all our inquiries. The communication was outstanding m; we received frequent pictures and text message updates that kept us connected to our puppy throughout the waiting process. What truly sets her apart is the extraordinary level of dedication she showed to our family. She went far above and beyond by traveling out of state to meet us halfway between Georgia and Chicago. This kind of commitment ensures a safe and personalized transition for the puppies and speaks volumes about her integrity. The handoff was seamless and professional. She provided us with a comprehensive folder of documentation, an initial supply of food, and thoughtful comfort items to help our puppy settle into our home. Most importantly, our new Italian Greyhound puppy has been absolutely amazing - healthy, happy, and well-socialized. If you are looking for a dedicated, caring, and ethical breeder, look no further!

Shawn guided me every step of the way. There were no surprises or disappointments. Everything went very smoothly from start to finish. This was a new addition for my 2 year old to play with, and they are both becoming inseparable quickly. Very happy with everything!

We recently adopted our Italian Greyhound puppy, Jagger, through Shawn on Good Dog, and the entire experience was outstanding from start to finish. As first-time IG owners, we were not familiar about the process of buying through a breeder, but Shawn made everything feel effortless and reassuring. Right from our initial inquiry, Shawn's responses were incredibly prompt—often within hours, even on weekends—which helped us feel supported and excited rather than left in the dark. She walked us through every step, from health screenings and vaccinations to transportation options, answering all our questions with patience and detail. One of the highlights was the abundance of videos and photos she shared of the litter. We got frequent updates showing Jagger and his siblings playing, eating, and growing, which allowed us to bond with him virtually before he even arrived. It was so heartwarming and helped us confirm he was the perfect fit for our family. The pickup was seamless; Shawn met us at the airport, and meeting her there was straightforward and stress-free. Since bringing him home, Jagger has been the picture of health and happiness—energetic, affectionate, and adjusting beautifully without any issues. Shawn provided a comprehensive booklet of care instructions tailored to Italian Greyhounds, including breed-specific watch-outs like dental care, cold sensitivity, vaccine issues and equipment suggestions. Overall, we couldn't recommend Shawn and Good Dog more highly. If you're looking for a responsible breeder who truly cares, she's the one! Five stars all the way.

We got our first Italian greyhound through Shawn here on gooddog. Shawn was so helpful and informative every step of the way with my curiosities and nerves with a new breed. We received photos and videos frequently. It’s obvious Shawn loves these puppies, and between many different breeders it was a clear choice. Our puppy is so happy and has adjusted to her new home with us seamlessly. Highly recommend this breeder!
