+5Courtney was so responsive and helpful. I looked for a while and spoke to various breeders, but I could tell Courtney especially loves her pups and takes such good care of them. She was great about updating me and sending some pictures while I was waiting to pick up my pup. My cockapoo puppy is the best! She is well socialized with people, dogs, cats, and kids. She picks up on new things like potty training super quickly and is such a lovely girl! I would highly recommend Courtney and am so grateful for her help and how wonderfully she cared for my pup.

+4It can be scary to put your trust in someone you haven't met while trying to find an amazing puppy. We recently relocated and couldn't make it work logistically with the breeder we have worked with in the past, so we began researching different options and looking into different breeders. We came across Courtney and The Royal Kennel on gooddog.com and while we fell in love with pictures of the puppies that she had available it was her responsiveness, willingness to communicate and sincerity that ultimately helped us make a decision to purchase one of her puppies. Because of some issues in the past we were a bit worried about the transaction but Courtney was open and transparent about every step of the process and kept us accurately informed all along the way. We received our puppy a few weeks ago and while know that no two dogs are alike and they all have their own personality our puppy is as well adjusted, healthy and happy as any puppy we have ever had. She has been such a delight and is so amazing that it's hard to believe that she is only a few months old. It is obvious that Courtney puts time and care into her breeding practice as is evidenced by the amazing new addition to our family.

We spoke with several breeders on good dog and Courtney was by far the most patient, pleasant and friendly! She answered all of our questions, took no offense to us “digging” for specific information on her breeding practices and was totally honest with everything. She even made travel accommodations the day before we scheduled to pick our puppy up. We took flights from NY to Missouri very last minute and she shuffled her schedule to meet us an hour away from her home. Our puppy is in perfect health as well! Overall we are super happy and grateful we got the chance to work with Courtney!!

Courtney was wonderful to work with. She kept me informed about my new puppy prior to me picking him up. Very nice and easy to work with. My other dog that I already have absolutely loves Clover as well. They are "best buds "

Courtney was so responsive and excellent to work with. She was very knowledgeable about the breed and you can tell she loved all these little babies like her own. I would definitely recommend Courtney to anyone looking for a beautiful miniature dachshund puppy. Everything went perfect- pictures, check ins, replies, all the way to delivery!! Highly recommend Courtney! Here's a few sweet pictures of our new little addition <3

+5Courtney was so incredible to work with! She was so responsive and it was absolutely amazing! She even sent photos of our beautiful little Maple prior to her coming to us. On the day she was coming, she kept me updated the whole time until she was on the plane. I would adopt a puppy from her a hundred times for how easy she made everything!
