    Bette and Gary were so kind. Bette responded right away when I first asked about the puppy I was interested in. When we talked I could tell that she doesn’t just sell puppies, she truly loves them. Gary coordinated a meeting to get my puppy to me and was very willing to make accommodations for the situation. My new puppy is perfect. I’ve named him Petey. He fits right in and is the sweetest baby. He’s very playful and so cute! I appreciate Bette and Gary for the best gift! They are the best!!!

    Bette was absolutely amazing! We could tell right away how loving and passionate she is about her chihuahua pups. Bette is so knowledgeable about the breed. So kind and friendly. Gary was awesome as well! We are so happy with our babies Jenny & Jax. Bette took really good care of them. Bless your heart. Thank you both!!

    Having lost my Chihuahua Kai to an off-leash pit bull in June, I began to search for a new companion after a few months. I found Good Dog who led me to a breeder in my state of Pennsylvania. My daughter and I thought that the best fit for me would be an adult Chi and, among the puppies, Bette had two "retired" breeding females! We looked at photos and gravitated toward Rhoda. Bette was very prompt in her responses to questions and Good Dog made the payment process easy. I was especially impressed with the thought and care Bette showed in the setting for the meeting, sending some of Rhoda's familiar items with us back north to her new home. Also, Bette has been entirely willing to answer ongoing questions about Rhoda's settling in once she got here. All in all, I couldn't have wished for a more down-to-earth and friendly experience. Good Dog made it easy and Bette and Gary made it like we'd known them forever.

    All was great. Bette and family met us out on the road to give our new girl to us, she's beautiful, healthy, and happy. Couldn't have gone better.
