Rebekah is a fantastic breeder! This was the first time we’ve used a breeder vs. shelters or dogs from friends so we were a little hesitant about going this route. Gooddog’s vetting gave some comfort, but you never know how things might go. Rebekah was hands-on from the start, and kept us informed all along the way. She even invited us to the first veterinary appointment which allowed us to meet the pups, and hear the results of their examination directly. She is such a sweet and caring person, and we highly recommend her.

The Lion Dog Shih Tzu was very kind, and provided me with all the necessary paperwork. Also received the food she was eating and the blanket with her mommy’s and litter mates scent. Totally happy with Truffles.

I had such a wonderful experience with Rebekah! From the very beginning, she was incredibly kind, communicative, and caring. Throughout the weeks leading up to bringing our puppy home, she kept us updated with adorable videos and photos of the litter, which made us feel so connected and excited.
She even invited us to meet her and the puppies at their first vet visit, which was such a thoughtful touch and really showed how much she cares for their well-being. When it was finally time to bring our puppy home, she sent us off with a generous care kit that included everything we needed to get started.
It’s clear that she genuinely loves her dogs and takes pride in raising them in a healthy and loving environment. We are so grateful to have found her and couldn’t be happier with our new puppy!

Great, they took good care of them. I got them clean and happy. They're a couple of pistols. Went to vet for second shot and they got a clean bill of health, as well as, being spoiled by everyone.
