We had a great experience getting our new puppy from Elaine. We came from another state and she offered to drive hours out to meet us closer for the pick up. We are very happy with our new furry friend.

Had a great experience! The process of picking up my new pup, Chowder, was super easy. Was very responsive, answered all my questions, and made the whole thing smooth from start to finish. Chowder is healthy, happy, and exactly what I was hoping for. I have zero complaints about the process and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a new furry friend!

It was a great experience dealing with Elaine. She sent us regular updates once we had chosen our Puppy and was extra helpful by driving several hours to meet us part way. We are so fortunate to have met up through the Gooddog App! We had recently lost our St Bernard, Zeus, after 12 Wonderful years and our house was so empty till now. We have Bear to keep us on our toes and to make the empty space full again! Elaine has done a great job in preparing her puppies for adoption. They are already partially house trained and very social. We are very happy with our whole experience with Magnolia Saints.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience purchasing our St. Bernard puppy (Gus) from Elaine and her lovely family. The entire process was seamless, with Elaine going above and beyond to accommodate us by meeting at a location most convenient for me. It was clear from the start that Elaine takes exceptional care of her dogs, prioritizing their health and well-being, which gave us complete confidence in our decision. Our new pup is an absolute joy, healthy, and full of personality, and we couldn’t be happier with the care and warmth Elaine and her family showed throughout the process!
Thank you!

Elaine is such a sweetheart. I really appreciated her generosity with her time and prompt responses. I contacted Elaine about 2 months before we brought Emmie home. During those two months I reached out to Elaine with questions, discussions and various other thing almost everyday and she was gracious enough to response with genuine care within 24 hours. Em is a sweet healthy little girl and we are so happy with our new family member. Elaine did her best to ensure that we would have a smooth positive start in our journey with Em. Elaine also will keep in touch with you throughout your new dog's life, which is invaluable should any questions or issues arise.
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
