    We highly recommend Country Ridge Puppies! After researching numerous breeders, we are so grateful to have found Dan. He was an excellent communicator, guiding us through every step and even checking in after we brought Cleo home. Cleo has a clean bill of health, a fantastic temperament, and is the perfect family dog—energetic, trainable, and wonderful with our 10-year-old twin girls. Good Dog also made the process seamless and secure, giving us full confidence in our purchase.

    Dan was so fantastic to work with in finding our future pup! He was extremely fast to respond and had patience with all of our questions! He also provided updates and videos after we chose our puppy until we got to pick her up. Everything from start to finish was so smooth & we’re so grateful!

    Jennifer R.

    I was extremely happy with Dan. He was friendly, helpful and responsive. I am delighted with my puppy. She is everything I hoped for: healthy, happy, smart, adorable. I would highly recommend this breeder and his dogs. Very good experience

  • Jacquie B.

    Verified owner · June 2025

    Dan, It was a pleasure to work with him, he answered my many questions, and sent me photos/videos of Monica (now Delilah). We got the pleasure of picking up Delilah and were able to meet her mother and other siblings that haven't gone to their homes yet. After we got home, he continued to follow up with us to see how things were going.

    Laura C.

    Verified owner · Mar. 2025

    Dan was wonderful to work with! He was very quick to respond and very helpful with answering all of our questions. He even kept in touch after the adoption process and was interested in the well-being of Bailey. Our dog is well tempered and exactly what we expected! The adoption process was made easy by Dan and I would highly recommend if you’re looking for a new puppy.

    Kelsey M.

    Verified owner · Dec. 2024

    Dan was awesome from start to finish! He communicated frequently and clearly and was flexible working with us for pickup. He socializes the puppies as much as possible allowing them ample time with his small daughters. It was also very clear that Dan truly cares about his pups! He checked in several times throughout the first week after adoption to see how Jack (our pup from Dan!) was settling in, how his first vet appointment went, and even how potty training is going. We can already tell Jack is going to be a great dog! He is super smart, and Dan spent some time with him before adoption working on “sit” and “come”, so Jack already does both of those like a champ! Jack came to us with a clean bill of health, and even a negative fecal test at his first vet appointment! We are so excited to have Jack in our family, and I cannot recommend Dan enough!
