    Robert was amazing at communication. He always kept me updated with videos and pictures of my puppy! My puppy also came home with all of the essentials like a bed , food, bowls, and toys which was extremely appreciated. I’m so glad to have found him through good dog because I can tell he truly takes care of his pets and that my puppy came from a reputable, caring breeder.

    We were Blessed to have crossed paths with Robert. We have attempted to deal with so many other breeders to find out that they didn't care or return calls or emails. Robert called us immediately and we felt a mutual dog loving connection. He patiently answered all our questions and sent daily videos, pics, facetime so we can see our new puppies. He delivered our puppies to us and supplied us with toys, bedding and treats. We felt that was a great gesture. Moving forward, he texted us to see how everything was going and if the puppies were adjusted well to their new homes. Robert is clearly passionate about his puppies and finding them good families. We highly recommend using him for your new puppy.

    Robert was amazing the entire time through this process! He literally updated me every day. He informed me of all of Winter’s vet appointments & how they went, send me tons of pictures & videos, and was very responsive from the moment I reached out to him. It took me forever to find a breeder & pup and I am so thankful I found Robert! I know we will keep in touch for years to come!!

    I got my puppy Poppy from Robert 2 years ago and she's all grown up now! She is so sweet and energetic. I've been contemplating getting another pup from his other litters for awhile and just might! He was very responsive throughout the entire adoption process and sent weekly progress pics/updates.

    We received an adorable Boxer puppy from Robert. From the time I expressed interest in his boxers to receiving the puppy, he has been in constant contact with me, sending me updates, pictures and videos. Robert still keeps in touch and wants to know how the puppy is transitioning. You really see how much he cares in the placement of his puppies and that they are loved in the homes that they go to. I recommend this breeder to anyone looking for a puppy.

    Robert with Bella Familia puppies from the beginning and post-adoption was open and informative with our forever home puppy. Robert kept us informed throughout the adoption with facetime videos,photos and movies and followed-up with us after vet appointments. He was quick to answer any questions we had and continued to follow-up after bringing our puppy home. Robert really did an amazing job relieving our fears since it's been a while having a puppy. I'm extremely impressed with gooddog and with Robert. He shows very clearly that he cares for the wellbeing of his puppies. We were so impressed how he sent home a puppy starter kit-really came in handy. Thank you so much!!
