Working with Good Dog and Sandpoint Deckers has been a eye opening experience for us. It has been the best experience with a puppy we have ever had and we are senior citizens with our share of puppies. All the hard work that Laurie and her family put into the puppies really pays off. When you get your puppy, they are set up to succeed and are very well socialized. They have been introduced to almost anything you can imagine and they have been loved, handled, and taken care of so well they are just a pleasure to be around. Laurie always kept us up to date with pictures of our puppy so by the time we picked him up, we really had the feeling we already knew him . Thank you so much Laurie and your family for such a wonderful experience. Mike and Deb

I think Laurie is awesome. I know she cares about where her puppies go and she takes good care of them. My Mom and I are anxiously waiting for Bailey to be ready. I am making a 15 foot long chain link fence/gate along one side of the house so she will have the whole back yard to play and be safe in. Bailey is special to me because I have stage 4 cancer and I recently lost touch with my old buddy(through divorce), Thor, a 6 year old golden retreiver. Laurie knows I need a new buddy and she has been so nice.
