Q. & A. with Janel

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My mom bred when I was younger and I watched and helped my entire life and loved every second of it. My mom definitely showed me how to ethically bred pups and be a responsible owner/breeder. I have since devoted my time to produce quality puppies focused on health, temperature, physical appearance and making sure I find them a forever home. I love helping others find their forever companionship.

    Janel was so responsive throughout the entire process and kept me updated with everything going on. Even after adopting her she still responds to any questions I have and overall is amazing, we couldn’t have gotten luckier to have the best dog and the best breeder🥰

    We couldn’t have asked for a better experience adopting our Pom from Janel! From start to finish, the process through Good Dog was seamless and stress-free, and Janel was kind, communicative, and very accommodating with pickup. Our little girl is healthy, happy, and thriving. We loved the thoughtful touches including all her paperwork, food, and even blankets and toys with her mom’s scent to help her transition. It’s so clear how much care and love goes into raising her puppies! We highly recommend Janel to anyone looking for a Pomeranian puppy and will absolutely be back in the future! 💖

    We were on the hunt for the best Pomeranian breeder around (distance didn't matter) and we found her - Janel G. of Nel's Pomeranians. Janel was incredible throughout the entire process! We knew her breeding stock was great because of the genetic testing results and photos Nel posted on Good Dog. What we didn't expect was the incredible professionalism Nel displayed or the love she has for each puppy she breeds (plus her own mamas and daddies). Nel was very responsive, reassuring, informative and open throughout the puppy purchase process. We had quite a few stipulations and requests for our puppy, Nel answered each question openly and honestly and never ran out of patience with us. We developed a level of trust with Nel that I've never experienced with another breeder. This was a wonderful experience and we got the most perfect puppy from it! I would HIGHLY recommend Nel to anyone looking for a healthy, well-bred Pomeranian from a professional, empathetic, loving breeder. Neo is incredible and so are her dogs!

    Janel was an amazing breeder to work with. I was so nervous at first reaching as it’s so hard nowadays to trust anyone on the internet. My husband researched the Good Dog App found it to be trustworthy. I was looking through several other breeders, but then I found Janel. I browsed through her reviews and her dogs. Her display of her past puppies and how she takes care of her adult dogs highly impressed me. You can tell that she truly loves and cares for her adult dogs and all her puppies. She answered all of my questions, made me feel at ease throughout the entire process. Sent me weekly photos and updates of my puppies. Oh yeah I forgot to mention too, I didn’t just get one puppy from Janel I ended up with two! I highly recommend Janel to anyone looking for a precious Pomeranian! Not to mention that her dogs are beautiful!

    About a year ago I lost my little fifteen year old chihuahua. Very heartbreaking for me. I decided it was time to get another little friend. I was getting nowhere scams.People asking too much for dogs.Nobody's verified, and then I found janel. She took the time to talk to me.Ease, my mind and paired me with the most perfect little puppy. She was very kind and showed empathy. Her communication was excellent.She sent pictures and videos and updates through the whole process.She put up with all my calling with questions and was very informative and I couldn't recommend anybody better to get a puppy from. I will be recommending her to all my friends and family and anybody who else gets to read this post.It was an excellent five star service that she provided and a beautiful, happy, healthy puppy. Thank you for all you do janel. This has been the most easiest smooth transition.I appreciate everything you've done for me.
