Brushing your puppys hair is essential 🐾 not bathing them too much, they have sensitive skin. Being sure to wipe next to their eyes so they don't have eye burgers building up❤️ make sure to cover ears when bathing so they don't get ear infection❤️hope my grooming tips help care for your forever pup

Best most easiest experience in getting my fur baby. Carissa responded super fast and gave a lot of information especially for owners who have never owned a yorkie before. I’m absolutely in love with my puppy. Thank you!!

I recently purchased a puppy from Carissa though Good Dog, and I can’t say enough about how wonderful the experience was. Carissa was incredibly knowledgeable, answering all my questions with detailed, thoughtful responses that showed her expertise in dog breeding. Her professionalism shone through in every interaction, from clear communication to transparent health and pedigree documentation.
The entire process, from browsing the website to picking up our new furry family member, was seamless and stress-free. Carissa’s care for her dogs was evident—she ensured our puppy was healthy, well-socialized, and ready for a smooth transition to our home.
If you’re looking for a breeder who combines expertise, professionalism, and genuine care, I highly recommend Carissa. We’re thrilled with our new pup and grateful for such a positive experience!

Carissa was amazing to work with she was so responsive about any questions I had about our Penny. She had so much knowledge to offer about owning a yorkie and what we would need when bringing Penny home. She has even checked on us after we have brought her home! I would definitely recommend working with her again. The process was so easy!

Carissa and her puppies are absolutely amazing. Carissa is patient, kind and so knowledgeable. She answered every question I had. We are now home with the sweetest little addition to our family. Carissa even checked in the day after bringing our baby home to make sure the first night went well and making sure I did not have any questions. I highly recommend Carissa and her puppies. Best experience by far :-)

We recently decided that we were ready for a new puppy. A new Yorkie to be more specific. After looking at many breeders’ sites, I was thrilled when I came across Gooddog.com. I downloaded the app and started looking around. I found Mckeever's Yorkie, and they had two females available. I sent a message to them and got an immediate response. They answered all my questions, and we decided to put down a deposit. We traveled to Mckeever's two days later. They were extremely professional and very friendly. All the paperwork was well organized and in one folder. The puppy was happy, healthy, and connected with us right away. We paid the balance securely through the Gooddog application and were on our way.
We have had Coco for seven days and couldn’t be happier. She is smart and has done very well with crate training and housebreaking.
