    From my very first conversation over the phone with Penny, I knew I had found the right breeders! She was very transparent and it was evident that she truly cared about her pups being cared for and loved, after they left her home. Our family couldn’t be more thrilled with the entire process through Good Dog, and we are so grateful that Penny and Chara Cavaliers is where we found our families new blessing in Asher. Thank you again, Penny, for raising such a healthy and happy puppy, and taking care of him until he was ready to come home with us. WE LOVE HIM SO MUCH!!
