Louise was great to work with from start to finish! She answered all of my questions thoroughly and went out of her way to make sure the whole process went smoothly. When I picked the puppy up it was clear that he was raised in a loving environment. I've had him for two months now and have loved every moment of it.

Louise was fantastic to work with! I live near by so she was super accommodating in letting me and my family come by multiple times to visit and be sure which puppy I wanted. She was great sending me lots photos and videos of my pup, Dakota, until I was able to pick her up. Me and my family love Dakota so much! She’s super smart, healthy, and has lots of energy. I was so happy to find a responsable breeder near by that truly cares for all her pups, thanks Louise!

+4Louise was so responsive and showed that she really cares for the puppies. She has even said that her door is always open for any reason. Crosby has been a great addition to the family and is full of energy. Thank you Gooddog.com for making this possible and making it an easy process.

We were very impressed with Louise, from the very first message she was personable and responsive. We are first time dog owners and Louise answered all of our questions. As we were traveling Louise offered FaceTime/Zoom calls to introduce us to the litter and she also offered for us to visit. Throughout the whole process she kept us informed of progress and shared pictures, which we appreciated. We would highly recommend Louise.

+5Working with Louise from S&R Ranch was amazing. She was so helpful through the process from beginning to end. She asked if I had a name for my new puppy and started calling him that name for me so he got used to it. He was healthy and clean at pickup and you could tell he was loved from the start. If I ever get another beagle it will be through Louise and her family.

Louise was amazing! She was so helpful, knowledgeable, and because I had to wait about a month or, so she was sending me photo/vet appointment updates throughout the process. I can tell my sweet puppy Luna was so loved before she came to her permanent home with us, and I’m so grateful to have had Louise to guide us through the process.
