    Alexandra with Feather & Tail Acres was very communicative and responsive during the entire buying process. Answering any questions and sending video and pictures. Felt very comfortable from the start with her as well as the site Good Dog. We received a well taken care of puppy and could not have imagined a better experience than what we had. Would fully recommend this family for anyone. We love our little Bear. Dan R.

    Alexandra had the most adorable puppy named Tulip. She is a healthy, fun loving, sweet little girl and we couldn't be happier. Alexandra filled us in with all the details about Tulip, provided pictures and kept us informed when we had questions. Good Dog is a fantastic way to find a new puppy family member.

    Alexandra was so patient and responsive to all my questions about Scamp and the process of picking him up. You can tell that she cares for the puppies she helps bring into this world and their future parents. As for Scamp, he is a delight, albeit full of mischief. He gallops around the couch at break neck speeds for a little pup, yet still loves to be held. We are more than happy and enjoy his escapades immensely.
