Natalee was a pleasure to work with. She kept us up to date while we waited to receive our dog and sent pictures. She delivered the dog all the way to Oregon and stayed to make sure we understood everything we needed to know. We can't say enough good things about Natalee and Good Dog!! Really a great experience. Thank you, Natalee and Good Dog.

We had a great experience with Natalee. We were looking for a dog to become a future service dog. She kept her eyes out on the ones that were in contention. We went with a little blond schipperke. She has a tan area around her face so we are calling her Zora from zoro. Natalie met my wife at the airport to pick up zora and the exchange went great. My wife even was able to get an earler flight back. We took zora to meet our vet and had a small issue with shot records(our vet not natalie) but a text to Natalie and she got it all taken care of. We are very satisfied with everything and would recomend Natalie for your schipperke pup needs.

Natalee was very responsive and knowledgeable through the entire process. We absolutely love our new baby! When our pup came home she was already so good with young children and she loves playing and hanging out with her 2 new brothers! She is exactly how Natalee described her personality. She is playful and loves cuddles! Thank you Natalee for making this such a great experience!

One of the best things about Schipperke Ranch's pups is how well socialized they are. My pup arrived home about a week ago and nothing fazes her... other animals, people, loud noises... she is very curious but fearless and so well behaved. She saw her new vet yesterday and the doctor was extremely impressed with my pup's temperament and said that Natalee did a great job.
My Schipperke service dog of 13 years passed away 6 months ago, and when I was ready for another service dog I let Natalee know what I was looking for and I got the perfect pup for me and my needs! My pup is so very sweet and incredibly smart, and I am very confident that when she begins her service dog training that she will do great.
I first saw my pups litter at 3 days old, and it was a joy watching them grow up via Natalee's constant updates and photos. If you are looking for a Schipperke, Natalee and the Schipperke Ranch are the BEST!
Thank you Natalee and Schipperke Ranch for my new best friend and constant companion!!
