Q. & A. with Melissa

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I started rescuing. One of my rescues had a surprise litter. I heard the little squeaks and there they were. I've been addicted ever since.

    All of our dogs undergo genetic testing to ensure healthy pups. We breed for health, and temperament first. Our pups make excellent service dogs!

    Our puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • What are the different breed coat types in your program?

    Our puppies include wirehaired, smooth, and longhaired coat varieties. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include sable, cream, red, wild boar, brindle, chocolate and cream, wild boar and tan, black and tan, wheaten, chocolate and tan, black and cream, and dapple. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

    Melissa made the whole process of finding and purchasing my first puppy amazing! She was so quick to respond and gracious to always answer any questions I had. You can tell she knows what she is doing and cares about her dogs and their litters. Thanks to her I have the most perfect mini dapple puppy!

    Melissa was the absolute best! We FaceTimed with her and got to meet our new puppy Oliver! She assuaged all of our fears about IVDD and was super knowledgeable about the subject. We ended up picking up our pup in SLC at Melissa’s mom’s house and she was the absolute sweetest woman ever! A great experience overall and we couldn’t be more happy and blesssd with Ollie!

    Stella is an amazing girl! She fit right in with us and is an excellent companion for my Jasper. Melissa does such a great job with her pups!

    Verified owner · Aug. 2025

    Melissa went out of her way to bring two puppies to SLC for us to see. She was very responsive and knowledgeable, and always answered promptly. We chose a different puppy than we first inquired about, and feel that Melissa prepared him well to go to his new home. He has been an easy puppy, was already crate trained and slept all night from the first day we got him at 12 weeks old. We feel you can't go wrong with Melissa and Good Dog!
