    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had a wonderful experience getting my miniature schnauzer, Roscoe, from Kristin! She was so kind, professional, and kept me informed every step of the way. You can tell she truly cares for her dogs—Roscoe came home healthy, happy, and full of personality. He’s been the best little addition to my life, I’m so grateful for her and highly recommend Kristin to anyone searching for the perfect furry little best friend! 🐶💖

    Kristin was so great and helpful! From the moment I first messaged her about a puppy, she responded promptly and we were able to set up a time to meet Luke (now our sweet Buddy!) within a few days. She regularly sent updates about how Buddy was doing via pictures and messages. Also, she provided great recommendations for new puppy essentials that helped us get started. All in all, Buddy has been a wonderful miniature schnauzer with an excellent temperament and in great health!

    Kristin was very responsive and accommodating information regarding Bella. We talked online and then felt comfortable about depositing money through good dog. It is with great trust you make a deposit to someone you don't know, dog unseen in person, Kristin helped facilitate confidence in the process. We would most definitely get another puppy through Kristin. We highly recommend Kristin and Ardent Miniature Schnauzers.

    My experience with Kristin from Adrent was absolutely fantastic. She responded promptly and kept me updated throughout the entire process. She rearranged her schedule to ensure Beau was ready to travel to Florida by 11 a.m. She also sent me updated pictures of Beau before and after he was handed over to my aunt and uncle. My kids and I are completely in love with Beau.

    Working with Kristin from Ardent through Good Dog was one of the best decisions we made. Kristin was highly responsive and communicative at every step of the process. She sent adorable photos of Winnie and kept us posted on her growth. Picking Winnie up at the airport was seamless. I can tell that Winnie was bred and raised with love and care. She is an amazing, healthy, beautiful puppy and we love her so much!
