Trisha was very knowledgeable and helpful during the entire process of adoption. All her puppies were beautiful and she took excellent care with all of them. I am very pleased I found her and found Good Dog. It is hard these days to find a reputable breeder. Too many puppy mills out there. So glad I found Trisha.
