    We enjoyed working with Michelle even though she herself was going through difficult times she was responsive and knowledgeable and we love our Belle Aka Maggie Jude . She’s a sweet puppy and given us lots of love and joy ! It’s been a year since we lost our other pup Nadine and 5 months since we lost our pup Sabrina . They’re forever in our hearts 💕 Michelle was wanting to make sure we knew what to expect with our new fur baby . About the breed temperament etc . She’s adjusted well and a forever member of our family . She’s also beautiful and we are socializing and working on training and she has done well with puppy day care . Thanks so much Michelle from the bottom of our hearts 💕 we only wish we got to meet you ! I would totally recommend to get a puppy from her she really does great job . John and Brenda

    This was the best experience I have ever had purchasing my new little baby. Michelle was wonderful to work with. You can tell she loves each and every puppy. She sent us regular pictures as we waited to be able to pick up our new little girl and bring her home, just in time for Christmas. Good Dog was awesome to work with as well. I knew exactly what I needed to do and well Michelle, made it happen for us. We love our little Angel so very much.

    For a while I was looking for a dog and it’s really important that they’re loved and cared for before picking them up, Michelle’s love for these little guys is so warm and beautiful. I wouldn’t pick anyone else to get a puppy from. Throughout the process she would send photos and she stays in touch before and after. She knows what she’s doing and she loves it.

    Michelle was wonderful to work with. She answered all my questions and was so kind and patient with me. We lost our Chihuahua, Daisy, in January of 2024 and were not looking for another puppy because to us she was irreplaceable. But while scrolling good dog one day I came across Michelle's profile and saw where she had a litter due so I reached out and the rest is history!!! We adopted (Savanna) now known as Junie Pearl, she is sweet as sugar and as spicy as hot sauce and she has brought us so much JOY!!! We love her so much!!!

    I’m so thankful I found Western Kentucky Chihuahua and Chinese Crested on Good Dog 🤍 they were responsible through the waiting period and delivered above and beyond expectations. Bitty (that is now now named Tilly) immediately stood out to me since she shared my childhood nickname. I had been looking for a while and I didn’t have to settle AT ALL with this beautiful girl. She is literally the chi of my dreams: looks, temperament, intelligence. You can tell that these pups are interacted with and prioritized from day one. I even got to know Tilly’s grandmother through the Facebook group briefly as I discovered her passing. Michelle raises these dogs as family, for life and it’s evident. Thank you for my sweet girl WKyC&C!
