We loved working with Good Dog and Melissa to acquire "Dog 2", now Leo. Melissa was responsive and helpful through all our communications, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Good Dog was an excellent site for finding the dog we wanted. It was very informative, giving helpful information about the dogs, and we were assured that the dog we were getting met Good Dog's high standards. Thank you Melissa and Good Dog!

Melissa was extremely easy to work with. Our interactions were genuine and honest. She was very flexible with pick up times and offered us many extras to help Tally’s transition. A blanket with her mother’s smell and some of the current puppy food for her to eat so her tummy would not get upset. She answered all questions and was delightful. We highly recommend her.
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
