    HAPPY TUESDAY ❤️, although I was skeptical about getting my new best buddy online because I had almost already been scammed, I found Tina through GoodDog. My research about GoodDog made me feel comfortable. They put me directly in touch with the breeder, Tina at Crab Point Australian Shepherds. Right from the start of our conversation I felt secure by Tina's friendly and informative conversation that we had. She was very easy to talk with and I decided that Hunny was the puppy 🐶 💕 I was looking for! I'm from St Petersburg area of Florida and they went out of their way, not really cause they wanted a day trip LOL, and met me in Myrtle Beach South Carolina. Everything just went so smoothly and I got a little puppy 🐶 surprise bag in the transfer. It's been 2 weeks now and we stay in touch almost daily! I highly recommend their pups 🐶! Hunny is doing wonderful 💖 gained 6 pounds and already knows some commands! Good luck to everyone who gets their next puppy love from them! PEACE AND LOVE XOXOX ❤️ Douglas

    I would highly recommend getting a puppy from Crab Point. My puppy, Sydney, was almost completely house trained when she came home. Tina did a great job getting the puppies used to other people and animals, and I plan to purchase again in the future

    Tina was a pleasure to work with! Sadie (was Orange Collar Girl) has made an excellent addition to our family! She came to our home well socialized and ready to take on the world! At 6 months she has already become a very confident and inquisitive pup and it is very clear to me Tina’s program played a huge role in that. If you are looking for your newest addition you won’t go wrong with her program!
