Josiah is extremely knowledgeable, kind and attentive! He answered all of my questions quickly and was more than happy to provide extra pictures for me upon request. He kept in touch with me on almost a daily basis until I had my beautiful, gorgeous puppy in my arms and home! I cant say enough good about how wonderful it was to find Josiah here on Good Dog and my good fortune in getting my 4 month old female puppy from him that I have named Cali. She is adorably super cute as well as smart and I'm already getting lots of compliments on her! Josiah went out of his way to travel and meet up with me so that I could get her home because other methods of transporting her were not favorable at the time. I am extremely grateful to Josiah and his family and I am very blessed to have such a beautiful and intelligent dog!

Josiah was amazing to work with. He answered every question that I had. He made the whole process of getting our beautiful puppy easy and stress free. Always sending updated pictures when requesting. He responds really quick. You can tell that they really care about getting the puppies into loving homes and I love that. If I had to do it all over again I'd choose him.

+6Josiah responded immediately to our inquiries. He was very open with any information I asked. Genetics seemed to be an important part of his breeding. Also it was obvious after getting our puppy home that he and his wife had done a lot of early socialization and exposure. He was very accommodating and made us feel at ease. We felt assured that we were purchasing a quality puppy from him. We do indeed have a very beautiful, happy and well rounded puppy.
