We had such a wonderful experience with Nicole from Bunn Ranch Goldens & Bernese! From the very beginning, she was incredibly helpful, responsive, and patient with all of our questions. She kept us updated throughout the process and made bringing our new puppy home such a smooth and exciting experience. We brought Mikko home today and we are already completely in love with him! He is absolutely beautiful, sweet, playful, and has already started settling into our home so comfortably. You can truly tell how much love and care Nicole puts into raising her puppies and preparing them for their new families. We couldn’t be happier with our experience or with Mikko. Thank you so much, Nicole, for helping us bring this little guy into our family! We would absolutely recommend Bunn Ranch Goldens & Bernese to anyone looking for their new best friend.

We had such a wonderful experience with Nicole! She was incredibly responsive, helpful, and transparent throughout the entire process. We really appreciated the health testing, video call as we live out of state, and all of her help with arranging transportation for our pup Buster. Since bringing him home, he has been doing absolutely amazing! He has adjusted so well, and sticking to the schedule she provided has made the transition so easy. We couldn’t be happier with Buster and are so grateful for all of her support throughout the process. We would absolutely recommend her!

Neli is finally home! When coming home, she's done good with her potty training as long as you follow the schedule Nicole provides! The process to getting Miss Neli was so easy through Good Dog and Nicole made it easy for me to pick her up on the day that I wanted!

We had a wonderful experience getting our puppy from Nicole. From the very beginning, she was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring about her dogs. She was easy to work with, quick to respond, and always willing to send pictures and updates, which meant so much to us while we were waiting to bring our puppy home. She happily set up meet-and-greets and made sure we felt comfortable and informed every step of the way. Our puppy came to us well-trained, well-socialized, and clearly raised in a loving environment. It was obvious that she puts a great deal of time and effort into her breeding program and truly cares about the families her puppies go to. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, dedicated breeder.
