Tammy was very responsive and sent picture updates to us. She was (and still is) very helpful. Rico is seriously the best puppy. He is calm, loving and doing well on his training. Highly recommend Tammy!

+4When I began my search for our new family member it was important for us to have someone who did genetic breed testing. I wanted a specific color of Shih Tzu. I came across Tammy’s profile on good dog. It stood out to me that everything was right there. Information about what testing had been done on her dogs, health guarantee, AKC registration, lots of photos. I seen the picture of my boy and messaged her asking questions. Tammy was always very responsive. When she sent me updated photos. I knew he was the one I wanted. Tammy made the process so easy. I was new to good dog and also having a puppy. All of my fur babies have been rescues. So I asked a million questions. Tammy did not hesitate at all answering them. Down to grooming, what products she used. Food, even the special Choco nose water bottles that the puppies were trained to use. Tammy was absolutely the most friendliest person, and truly cares about her dogs and puppies. She gave amazing pupdates with photos and videos. My puppy was so well socialized and loving. A lot goes into breeding a wonderful dog. Tammy and her family go above and beyond to make sure these puppies are ready for their new homes. I will be forever grateful to them for the love and care they gave to my sweet boy.
