Kathy and Melissa, it was a real pleasure having you steer us through the process of getting Harley. You made everything very simple. He is a well adjusted, little guy and the bond is already apparent between us. He follows me everywhere!!! He hasn’t skipped a beat since we arrived home. He slept through his first night with us, but I slept on the floor with him!! I can’t imagine my life without him now. Thank you so much for your dedication to breeding such special dogs. I give you praises for your love, care and knowledge of all things Chihuahuas!! Again, thank you so much. Tricia Johnson

Kathy & Melissa are very friendly & knowledgeable about their chihuahuas. They take pride in their pups. Rocky has been a joy for my husband & I. From all the excitement the day we got him, he slept all night, not a peep out of him. He was just tired out. We love our little Rocky!! ❤️ If you are looking for a chihuahua puppies, reach out to North Star Chihuahuas... They are great to work with. Thanks so much for my Baby Rocky!! ❤️

+5Our experience with Kathy & Melissa was truly perfect. They were communicative, kind, and incredibly knowledgeable. The love they have for the breed and for their pets and puppies is so immediately evident upon meeting them, and we knew right away after chatting with them that first day that it was the perfect fit. They were so patient with us and our plethora of questions (first time dog owners over here! 😂). They answered everything we asked with clarity and honesty and kindness — the exact kind of support you need when making such a big life decision! It was such a good feeling to have that peace of mind. Our chihuahua, Belly, is the light of our lives and as perfect as a pet can be. Her demeanor is everything we could have hoped for — friendly, loves people, great with other animals, sweet, hilarious, cuddly, affectionate, and smart. And she is so adorably cute, we can hardly go anywhere without being stopped multiple times by passersby. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience for our first puppy!

Kathy & Melissa was so good with the hole experiment. I was worried about not getting the right place of getting the puppy or not. There are so many scams out there. But they made me feel good from the start. I just love my tiny little puppy, Lily. The first night was not a bad night. She just cried a little and then went right to sleep in her kennel. She already doesn't like it when I leave the room. The only thing that I did not like about the Good Dog was not knowing the extras fees that I had to pay. But on the good side they were very helpful. Debra

Kathy and Melissa were wonderful to work with. I chose Ollie right from his birth. Kathy and Melissa kept me up to date with videos and photos as Ollie grew. He knew his name by the time I picked him up. They were flexible with a pick up date and kept Ollie through my vacation, which was so appreciated. He is a healthy, well adjusted pup. They love their chihauhaus and it shows in the care they give their dogs.
