Verified owner · Nov. 2025
Kirsta was very easy to work with and answered all of my questions patiently and thoroughly. I really appreciated her transparency with all that she shared about our pup’s history and temperament. He’s a great little guy who’s been a wonderful addition to our family.
Roxanne T.
Verified owner · Oct. 2025
It was great working with Kirsta. She responded quickly to my questions and gave me updates on our puppy along the way. I would definitely work with Kirsta again on another dog. We are thrilled with our boy. He is just as sweet and lovable as she said he would be. He is getting along with our other dogs and housebreaking is going well too.
Regina M.
Verified owner · Nov. 2024
Kirsta was very enjoyable to work with. She was very quick with her responses and very helpful and patient with answering all of my questions. The puppy was very happy and well taken care of when I picked her up. I would definitely recommend KDK!! It has been 2 months since we bought home Winnie (aka Amber). She has settled in well and is becoming inseparable from her new big sister Ivy.

+8Our experience with Kirsta was amazing from start to finish! She kept us updated with the sweetest photos and videos and always answered our questions right away. We felt completely supported and informed through the whole process. Kirsta also arranged private transportation for Lou, and everything went so smoothly. Lou was lovingly cared for the entire trip and handled the long journey like a champ! The Good Dog platform made everything super easy and gave us tons of helpful info along the way. Our little Lou is truly a ray of sunshine - curious, smart, and the cuddliest little pup ever. She’s even more wonderful than we imagined. Kirsta did such a fantastic job, and we’re beyond grateful. We can’t recommend her enough! 💛🐾

Kirsta was wonderful to work with as we purchased a Siberian Husky from her. Our male Husky Carter is just the best! Thank you Brian

Krista was absolutely amazing to work with! She is very responsive which was hard to find in a breeder and knows so much about her puppies(she let me ask millions of questions and helped me with all)! You can tell she really cares about her furry family and really wants the best for them. I will definitely be using her in the future when we decide to give our sweet Sophie girl a buddy!
