We couldn’t be happier with Cosgrove and our experience with Diana. From the moment we brought him home, it was clear how much love and care went into raising him. Cosgrove is healthy, confident, playful, and incredibly sweet. We’ve only had him for two weeks, and already it feels like he’s always been part of our family. He settled in so naturally—it’s hard to imagine our home without him. He has the happiest personality, so much energy, and is full of love. We’re also amazed at how smart he is—already responding to commands like sit, shake, and come, and he’s nearly potty trained at just eight weeks old. You can tell Diana put so much time, care, and intention into giving these puppies the very best start. Diana was kind, knowledgeable, responsive, and clearly deeply committed to her dogs and puppies. We’re so grateful we found her through Good Dog. Cosgrove has brought so much joy to our family already, and we feel incredibly lucky to have him. We would wholeheartedly recommend Diana to anyone looking for a healthy, well-loved, beautifully raised puppy. Cosgrove has completely stolen our hearts.

Dena was great! The communication between us was really good so that we were able to connect on the puppies delivery. The puppy is beautiful and has put on 3lbs in the two weeks he has been with me. He is very lovable and easy to work with. He was house broken in about 4 days and likes to sleep in his crate every night.

I had a great experience working with Dena! She was super nice and responsive with our communication. She was happy to answer all my questions both before and after I brought Henry home. Henry came home with an already good grasp on potty and crate training, and has been so smart with other training so far as well! He’s an amazing little pup!

We are so happy with Kai, our Mini Aussie we adopted through Good Dog from Dena. He’s been such a wonderful addition to our family. He is so sweet, loving, and playful. He gets along with everyone in our home, from our little ones (7 and 9), to our teenager (15), and of course us adults. The Good Dog website made the process of finding both Dena and Kai straightforward and easy. Dena was also kind enough to meet us halfway between Lemon Cove and San Diego, which we truly appreciated given the distance. Kai is thriving and growing well. One of the most special things about him is how calm he is around other dogs. We visited a home recently where there were about 14 dogs (Mastiffs) all barking, and Kai just sat quietly in my arms. No barking, no flinching, completely unbothered. It was such a cool moment, and we’re not sure if it’s the breed or just his unique personality, but it makes him even more special to us. We’re so grateful for the experience and for Kai being part of our family.

This was my husband and my first experience with a breeder. We were hesitant at first, but after seeing Deena's excellent reviews, we decided to welcome our newest family member through her. We were not disappointed in the slightest! Deena was highly professional and an absolute delight to work with. She answered all our questions, and even after bringing our new baby Abbie home, we felt comfortable reaching out to her with any inquiries. She always responded quickly. I highly recommend her if you’re considering getting one of these mini Aussies—you won't be disappointed!

First of all, Dena is very knowledgeable about her breeding business. My puppy is perfect, she has been handled and loved from birth. She likes shoulder rides and sleeping belly up. She is now 10 weeks and we are busy with basic skills, she is catching on so quickly and I am so in love with my little Emmylou!
