Five stars!! We adopted Bo, call him Dodger. We met halfway at a park in Albuquerque to pick him up. He's a wonderful dog, growing so fast! He's got border collie energy & smarts - any potential owner should make sure they're ready for that. I've never dealt with a breeder before, so I've got no basis for comparison. That said, we are happy with the experience. We wanted a dog with herding instinct that didn't want to kill our feline mouser. So, we needed a puppy that we knew what it would grow up into. We aren't breeders, don't do shows, he'll be neutered. And he'll help chase the neighbor's cows out when they get in sometimes during winter pasture. Dodger came with a packet of vet papers, blanket that smelled like his litter, bag of puppy chow, toys. And we know his exact birthday, too. The Vowells are a family operation & the kids have given the pups plenty of love and attention. Two weeks on, we're still waiting for registration papers because the whole litter need their official names first. It's all been so easy, and we enjoyed meeting the Vowells. Thanks to gooddog.com for making it all so easy.
