Josh with Barrett's Buddies was quick to respond and kept me updated throughout the process of getting our pup. He worked effortlessly to designate a meeting location for us to get Ceder (now named Greer). I have worked through Good Dog to find knowledgeable breeders twice. Both experiences were successful.
