Melissa was so sweet and knowledgeable. She told us everything we needed to know about our puppy right down to the fact she has a BIG personality. She clearly knows all her dogs very well and spends time socializing and playing with the pups. I would absolutely buy from Melissa again.

Our experience with Melissa was exceptional from start to finish. She was incredibly knowledgeable, answering all of our questions and making sure we felt confident every step of the way. Melissa even checked in after we received our puppy to see how everything was going, and she was always so accommodating, which made the entire process so much easier.

+6Melissa was a a joy to deal with, my beautiful Nova is the best most energetic dog. Melissa was willing to work with us on picking up our baby due to vacation plans that we already had our beautiful nova came from a beautiful home and was well taken care of if I ever decide to get another Boykin spaniel it will most definitely be with her. She answered all of our questions about the dog breed quickly and effectively.

Melissa was very responsive and eager to answer questions about the pups. I’m so glad I found her litter on gooddog.com. Good Dog gave me confidence in the process and the breeder. I’ve recently had two experiences with internet scammers in the kitten and puppy markets, buyer beware. Good Dog is legitimate. We are grateful for our puppy Dutch, he’s a healthy and happy little boy. Thank you Melissa!!
