    My experience with Teresa and her program, Heartland Small Breeds was nothing short of amazing! She was super responsive, literally getting back to me within minutes each and every time I messaged her. She kept me updated all along the way about my pup, Diamond and shared so much advice and knowledge about the breed, pet insurance, flea & tick info, everything! She and her husband were such a pleasure to meet and the going home bag was such a wonderful touch. If you are considering a pup from Teresa, don’t hesitate!

    We love our dog Moon! We got her to be a service dog for our deaf daughter. Moon’s breed is know for being a “yappy” type of dog. However with training Moon only barks to signal to us our daughter is in need. She recognizes ASL commands and is an extremely smart and loving dog.

    We are so grateful for Teresa and Heartland small breeds. She was so responsive while we waited for our Hazel to be brought home. We always had updates and knew exactly what was going on with her. Teresa was so kind to make pick up seamless and easy. This is our first experience with a breeder and we couldn’t have had a better time. Thank you Teresa!

    Teresa was great to work with from the start, very responsive and knowledgeable. The Good Dog app made everything convenient and easy. Once we selected Bennie, we received weekly updates with photos and videos. It was clear Bennie was coming from a well loved family. Highly recommend Teresa to all future dog parents.

    Teresa was wonderful from the very beginning. She was very responsive and answered any questions that I had. She sent updated photos and even began calling my puppy by the name we chose for her. It was a great experience from beginning to end. She even gave us an adorable basket full of goodies for our puppy! Would absolutely recommend her to anyone!

    I don’t know where to begin. I have been looking for a Pomeranian puppy for months. I got on Good Dog which I was so impressed with compared to other businesses selling puppies. I was looking one day and came across the puppy I wanted. I contacted the Breeder, Teresa, from Heartland small breeds. The very first time I talked to Teresa I knew I sure made the right decision. She has been beyond friendly, informative, supportive, in every way. We texted back and forth for over a month. She also is very honest and doesn’t hold anything back. I got my furry baby Chloe over a week ago. She is so beautiful and so sweet. My whole family has been taken over by her. Thank you thank you Teresa for all your knowledge and support. If you are looking for a small breed puppy get a hold of Good Dog and Heartland small breeds, Teresa . Please she is by far the best, friendliest, most knowledgeable Breeder I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. Thank you Good Dog and Thank You Teresa for everything you have done for us. God Bless Paula M Frantz
