+5We fell in love with the picture of Sprinkle's on Good Dog and contacted Sharon immediately. She responded to our inquiry the same day and we set up to meet a few days later. Sharon was very friendly and knowledgeable. She provided us with lots of literature and advice on how to care for our new puppy. We renamed the puppy Honey because of her color and sweetness. She been a ball of joy and fits into our family nicely. She has managed to bring out the puppy in our 8-year-old dog. She has so much energy and is very smart. We would definitely recommend Frankly Golden to our friends and family.
