I am so grateful for my puppy from Maggie! She took the time to schedule a phone call to answer all my questions about him and aussies. She provided photo updates and a puppy take home kit to make sure the ride and flight home with my new pup would be easy as can be!

We were having trouble finding a local breeder and hadn't used Good Dog before but couldnt pass on the opportunity to adopt Teddy! He checked every breed and personality trait we were looking for and Maggie made it such an easy process. She was very responsive and flexible. It was obvious from our interactions that she had a wealth of knowledge, experience and loved the breed and her pups very much. We would definitely recommend Maggie to anyone looking to adopt a quality, highly intelligent & lovable Aussie!
