We picked up our puppy from Michael 2 weeks ago. We are so happy with the way it all worked out. Michael was great throughout the process. All questions quickly answered and through information shared along the way. Coordinating pickup was so easy and all the bonus items were great to have. A substantial amount of food, toys, a leash plus other bonus items. Can’t believe how well adjusted the puppy is already. That speaks volumes about how he was raised the first few months and what he learned from his litter mates and his parents. If you are thinking about a puppy from the Winterton Farm you’ve got a winner.

"Michael was so responsive and knowledgeable about the breed. You can tell they really care about their dogs. They stayed in touch and sent me regular updates about my puppy. Good Dog made the process so easy, from the initial connection with Michael to arranging pick up and paying securely. I'm so glad I found Michael through Good Dog, and I couldn't be happier with my new puppy!"

Met with Michael for pickup as scheduled. They were thorough in their description, care and immediate future needs for the little guy. I was impressed with the overall process and their responsiveness to my questions and plans for pickup. Puppy was friendly, well adjusted, box trained and a complete joy. No issues on the way home, puppy was happy to ride and did well at all the rest stops.

Working with Winterton Farm & Homestead was a fantastic experience. They are an extremely knowledgeable and responsible breeder and took their time to answer all of our questions as well as provided all the details for our new Pembroke Welsh Corgi. We have Franklin, formerly Peep, from their Easter litter. He is smart as a whip and has such a fun big personality. We purchased bells for the back door for potty training, within two days he got it down and was ringing to go out to potty.
