Tanya was beyond accommodating in that she met me at the Phoenix airport and handed me Harvey. She had driven several hours to Phoenix And I had flown in and flew back home all in the same day. Harvey is a delightful YorkiPoo and has taken the place in my heart that my 17 year old YorkiPoo, Harry filled for all those years. The Good Dog system was extremely responsive. Especially Tanya!

Tanya was so easy so work with, she was keeping me updated of how my puppy was doing! She even let us meet the parents (lovely pups), and also gave us some goodies to be ready to receive our new baby home!

+4All I can say is that Tanya was a pleasure to work with. She got back to me in a timely manner to any questions I had. She went out of her way to helping find a meet-up place that worked for me so I could get the puppy. You can tell she takes great care of her puppies. I would highly recommend getting a puppy from her. Thanks again Tanya for everything.
