Carol and I talked for several years prior to her having the puppy I wanted. He is beautiful and all I had hoped for. Bailey is a 24/7 companion and keeps me busy. I fell in love with him at first site in the pictures Carol sent.

Carol was great to work with! She communicated with us weekly by sending pictures and updates. A couple of weeks before our pickup date, she inquired about a name and then began calling him that. By the time he came to us, he was already familiar with his name! She was flexible with pickup choices and we were blessed with a wonderful new addition to our family.

Good dog is such a cool website on not only how to not only connect with the breeder before your baby is born but also to Be able to make sure it is a perfect match.
Our breeder was very communicative And it showed how much she cared about her pups.
Everything went so smoothly!
We recently Lost our miniature Pincher On thanksgiving a couple years ago and it just hasn't been the same. Our new family member has definitely help fill that void.
He is healthy, Happy, and exactly what we wanted.
The veterinarian said who over docked the tail did a fantastic Job.

It was very clear to me that Carol was a life long MinPin owner and expert and her love for the breed made me feel amazingly comfortable in selecting one of her pups. She was very knowledgeable and shared all the information I needed to make my choice for my new best friend. She sent constant updates, pics and videos. I chose to travel to pick up my little love, and Carol and family made it very easy for me.
My new pup is my fifth Miniature Pinscher and she is very healthy, beautiful, and wonderfully spirited. I highly recommend RisingStar Miniature Pinschers.
