Linda was so easy to work with! She replied quickly to messages through the Good Dog app, suggested a Facetime call so we could visit virtually with all the puppies (we live far away), and made some suggestions of which pup she thought might be great for our family. When we picked him up, she had all kinds of helpful suggestions, resources and toys/food ready to go with him. She cares so much about her dogs and the puppies were all so friendly and well adjusted. Our Ozzie is the perfect addition to our family and we're very happy we worked with Linda to find him!

+5We had a great experience with Linda! We reached out and she was able to FaceTime us quickly to show us our puppy. The process is very easy through Good Dog. Our dog has the best demeanor and gets compliments everywhere we go! She is very patient with our two young boys and has been the perfect addition to our family. We highly recommend Linda and the sweet puppies from Ziva and Zac!
