    Our communication with Katie from Jack and Ginger’s Goldens was excellent from the very beginning. You can truly tell how much they care about their puppies and that they are always willing to go the extra mile for them. Sleepy was very well socialized, and it’s amazing how she fit into her new home from day one, like she had always been there. 🥹💕 Definitely 💯 recommended! Thank you so much, Katie! 😊

    I was new to Good Dog when trying to locate my perfect Golden Retriever. I found my perfect dark red Golden Retriever puppy from Katie O. The process became even better for me when I reached out to Katie. Katie is always responsive, provides regular updates about the puppy litter and provides her puppies with extremely healthy nutrition immediately after the puppies finish weaning. I couldn’t be more impressed and I am extremely grateful that my puppy has become a quick learner and is physically perfect! I reached out to Katie even after I picked up my new puppy and she’s was eager to continue answering my every question.

    Katie is such a blessing! She cares so much about her dogs, takes exceptional care of the puppies, and is wonderful to work with. She truly goes the extra mile to ensure great communication, makes the puppy’s transition to their forever home easy for the new puppy parents and for the puppy, and is an all around wonderful person. The puppies are well socialized and have already begun training by the time they come home. I would recommend Katie to ANYONE looking for the best Golden Retriever puppies you could imagine.

    Getting Daisy Belle through Katie (And Good Dog) was the best experience- Katie easily and quickly answered all questions and concerns, had great advise and absolutely loves the Goldie breed. Daisy has adjusted very well and Baxter our 4y/o dachshund is getting used to her energy but is just a bit reluctant to share “his” toys, and of course any new toy is his.

    What a wonderful experience! Jack and Ginger's Goldens provided us with a top notch buying experience. Our little girl came to us well loved and socialized. Their dogs are their family and that's exactly what we were looking for! Would highly recommend.
