I 100% recommend working with Cherie getting your next fur baby. She is honest, easy to work with and reliable. Our papillon, aka - the Princess, Lily is exceptional. She’s had a puppy since and was an outstanding mother to her pup. Absolutely wonderful dog. You can’t go wrong with this breeder.

I’m very happy with our new addition to our little family. We unfortunately lost out service dog for a ptsd veteran and decided another papillon would be the way to go. He is very smart and he is surprisingly very athletic. If I had the time this particular dog would do well in anything athletic competition. Maybe I will at a later date. He is absolutely gorgeous. As far as good dog, I looked at one other pap and placed a deposit but he had gotten 2 types of parasites. Tho they said this is common, it was too close to us losing our last, good dog was very helpful and returned any/all monies. This allowed me to find Cheri, whose puppies are just gorgeous, athletic, smart. Very smart. I flew out from ca to Texas and of course delay after delay but cheri waited and met me ar the airport. I will say it was 24 hrs of hell thanks to no one except American Airlines, I would do it again to meet this little guy besides me. I’ve had “macaroon” for several weeks and I have zero complaints nor regret with using good dog and Cheri. I will mention that when I was browsing online I ran into several puppy scams which is why I decided to use good dog and Cheri. I highly recommend. 10 out of 10
