Dee is the sweetest lady! She knows her breed and has beautiful labs. Dee sent home training tips, food and vitamins, going above and beyond what we expected. GoodDog.com was easy to navigate, we communicated with Dee and made payments through the site. We adore our 11 week old that we named Summer!

Dee was fantastic, she was very responsive and had so much knowledge about her labs and their qualities ……… She also mentioned early training techniques because it’s been years since we had a pup in our home. It was so worth driving to Iowa from St Paul for our new little buddy!
