Ruthie was so responsive and knowledgeable about the breed. You can tell she really cares about her dogs. She stayed in touch and sent me regular updates about my puppy. Good Dog made the process so easy, from the initial connection with Ruthie to arranging pick up and paying securely. I'm so glad I found Ruthie through Good Dog, and I couldn't be happier with Gertrude Grace “Gertie”. I highly highly recommend Ruthie Rich. Absolutely the best experience
