Q. & A. with Alicia
Why did you start breeding?
My mother in law did it when I was in high school. I just thought it was great. Never did anything about it originally. I got my first Schnauzer I realized how expensive they can be. I decided to breed to help people get one at decent price compared to some places. I don’t breed to get champion dogs. Just family pets that are sound and healthy.
What makes your program special?
They all are pets and live with me. I breed for the families. I try to find the best families for each baby.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Alicia went above and beyond from the moment we started our conversation. We were in communication daily. Lots of pictures and videos along the way. She was very understanding when we ran into an issue on how to get him home on his 1,668 mile journey. She did an amazing job working with us and we were able to have him in our arms on his 8 week birthday. Can't say enough good things. If you are looking for a breeder who is passionate about ensuring her puppies go to the right home, you found her. Simply put Alicia was amazing to work with. We will be recommending her to anyone looking for a new puppy in their life.

Alicia was great to work with. Her replies were quick and she gave numerous updates about Archie. It was great seeing how much stimulation and socialization he was getting. He came to us a healthy and happy puppy!

Alicia was so sweet. My partner and I lost our white schnauzer two weeks ago. He died tragically that's a vet. We have been lost. Alicia changed that with jasper. Thought was a sign from God. Our cabin is in Jasper Texas and she had named him jasper. Thanks for everything. He is so sweet. Finally feeling that whole leave a bit.

Thank You, Alicia at Good Dog
After a heartbreaking year of losing two of our beloved Mini Schnauzers and adopting one to help fill the hole in our hearts, we knew our lone pup needed a companion. That’s where Alicia came in.
This past weekend, we adopted Ruger, and he’s the perfect fit for our family. Alicia was an absolute pleasure to work with—kind, communicative, and genuinely caring. She kept us updated every step of the way while Ruger was getting ready to come home.
Alicia, thank you for coming into our lives. You helped bring a little more joy, healing, and tail-wagging happiness to our home. ❤️ - Matt, Caroline, Remi and Rugar Causey.

My husband surprised myself and our two children with the most beautiful puppy for Christmas ☺️ Not only is our new puppy absolutely beautiful, she is smart as a whip! She came potty pad trained from the breeder and after three weeks of having her she has now gone from the potty pads to going outside, alerting when she needs to go and we are at three days with ZERO accidents. We love her so much, she has such a funny personality and loves to snuggle! We brought her to her first Vet appointment and they said she is perfect and in great health! We highly recommend this breeder. Wonderful experience overall and we have a beautiful new addition to our family ☺️
