+5Kathleen went the extra mile for me - literally! She brought my new furbaby to me, complete with all her paperwork *and* a puppy care tote with basic supplies to help us settle in together as seamlessly as possible. Magpie (formerly Apple) is doing great and loves her fuzzy brothers as much as she loves her humans!

Kathleen was an amazing breeder to work with! She was very responsive and you can tell she really cares for the dogs in her program and the puppies. Regular updates with pictures and the willingness to answer any last minute questions were very reassuring. She also left us with a HEALTHY go-bag with a fresh 5lb bag of food, harnesses, blankets, leashes, and a cute note amongst other things. It was very helpful for a new parent. GoodDog made this process very seemless from beginning to end, with over a year a research to finally connecting with Kathleen and adopting our handsome boy, Buddy! Thanks Kathleen ❤️
