Shannon was wonderful to deal with. She is very selective about making sure her pups will be a good fit and are going to a great home. She very thorough about getting all the information you will need to continue the care she maintains for her pups. Willing to answer all questions and providing pictures as they grow. You are introduced to their dame and sire and have knowledge of their background. I would highly recommend Shannon to anyone looking for a beautifully healthy pup with great temperament, family raised and wonderfully playful personality. If the need ever arises again I would definitely reach out to Shannon first. A Plus indeed!

What a wonderful experience it was working with Shannon. We traveled 6 hours to get our babies. Shannon was transparent on everything needed and sent updated photos. I highly recommend her and her dogs. I was very shocked to learn she was feeding the puppies high quality food. You normally don’t get that with many breeders. We are overjoyed with our 2 babies and are looking forward to watching them grow 💙💙

Working with Shannon was a pleasure. She kept me up to date with my pups progress for the month between deposit and pick up. She answered any questions I had along the way. On pick up day she offered me toys and food to take home. It was a great experience. My pup has a very sweet disposition and is in love with everyone she meets. I will absolutely look to Shannon again when my heart needs another beagle.

Was nervous about using Good Dog but Shannon answered all my questions and kept me updated. She was also very easy to work with and I had no issues with pick up traveling from over 5.5 hours away. Very positive experience!
