H & A Kennels

We LOVE our Shiloh! We wanted the true puppy experience and found Hayden through Good Dog. She was very transparent about the process from start to pickup. We put down our deposit before the litter was even born, understanding this would give us priority pick of the litter. She sent photos of the entire litter as they were born, and we picked our boy Shiloh, who is a blue merle with phantom spots. She continued to send photos and updates periodically and after each vet visit. We planned the pickup date following the 8-week laws, which was another easy process thanks to Hayden. Our Shiloh is now 8 months old and 60 lbs. He is perfect for our family and everything we prayed for. He is smart, obedient and has the cutest, friendliest personality. A true goober. He has self-confidence and is not scared of loud noises. If he sees something unknown he doesn’t like, he will slowly approach with a light growl until the unknown has been identified. I think this display of bravery and curiosity is one of the biggest testimonies of Hayden’s care. He’s amazing with kids and wants to be friends with everyone he sees. He is great with meeting new dogs in the neighborhood and has even started to herd our chickens into the coop on command! It’s been really cool to see his natural herding instincts come out. We wanted to include a short disclosure because while Shiloh is the perfect dog for us, this might not be the perfect breed for everyone. He would struggle in a family that wasn’t home very much or weren’t active. Shiloh not only loves going on walks/runs and being active, but needs it to be a part of his daily routine. There is a big difference in his behavior if he doesn’t get a proper amount of exercise. If you’re able to spend 1-2 hours a day working him (walking, running, training, throwing a ball, etc) I’m sure this breed would be a blessing to you too and I would 1000% recommend adopting from Hayden. We are so grateful the process was smooth and literally could not have been blessed with a more perfect dog. We would pick Shiloh again and again. Thank you, Hayden!

Working with Haden was so great! She was quick to respond to any questions we’ve had. Both before and after the adoption. Maverick (aka Frank) has been the best addition to our family. Haden’s work with him prior to bringing him home was very valuable. He’s quite comfortable with noises and fantastic with children. We’re so happy to have found her here on GoodDog
