Frequently Asked Questions

Our community standards are crafted with the guidance of leading experts in canine reproductive health and outlined in our Good Breeder Code of Ethics. These standards are grounded in evidence-based research and backed by science, reflecting our commitment to ethical breeding practices and making it easy for buyers to connect with reputable breeders.

While there is no one-size-fits-all approach to assessing breeding practices, our rigorous certification process verifies that every Good Dog breeder meets or exceeds our community standards before earning certification. These standards ensure breeders prioritize the mental and behavioral health of their dogs while providing the necessary support for new puppy owners. Learn more about our community standards.

Every breeder in our community is thoroughly vetted by our in-house screening team to ensure they meet or exceed the community standards outlined in our Good Breeder Code of Ethics. We ensure each breeder meets or exceeds our criteria for:
- Proper living conditions
- Health and well-being of breeding dogs
- Puppy health
- Socialization practices of puppies
- Health screening for hereditary disease
- Resources and support for new owners
- Comprehensive puppy policies and owner support
Each of these elements is rigorously screened before a breeder receives a certification from Good Dog. Learn more about our screening process.

We encourage buyers to research and find the right reputable breeder for them, but our thorough screening process adds an extra layer of security and peace of mind.

Every Good Dog breeder must:
- Pass our rigorous screening protocol
- Adhere to our community standards
- Meet or exceed breed-specific health testing requirements
- Maintain transparency in their breeding practices
- Follow our Good Breeder Code of Ethics
Additionally, all transactions are protected by the Good Dog Payment Protection providing security and support throughout your puppy-buying journey.

Health testing is a key part of our screening process. Our dedicated team reviews the health tests breeders perform on their dogs to ensure they meet or exceed breed-specific health testing requirements. To promote transparency, breeders can share health testing documentation on their Good Dog profiles, allowing buyers to access these records directly under the "Moms and Dads" section when viewing a specific dog. Learn more about our approach to health testing.

Our community standards for health testing were developed with the guidance of leading reproductive experts, veterinary professionals, and breed specialists. These standards are tailored to address the unique history and health concerns of each breed.

Good Dog's health testing requirements are based on:
- Breed-specific health and hereditary concerns
- Current scientific research
- Breed club recommendations
- Expertise from reputable breeders
We regularly review and update our standards to reflect the latest in canine health research and breeding practices. Reputable breeders on Good Dog are recognized at three levels—Good, Great, or Excellent—based on the number of recommended health tests performed. Learn more about our approach to health testing.

Searching for a puppy online can be overwhelming, with risks of encountering scams, fraud, and bad actors. That's where Good Dog comes in—we're committed to providing a safe, trustworthy way to find your perfect puppy.

Getting a puppy on Good Dog works differently—you communicate directly with your breeder through our secure messaging system, receive regular updates, and develop a partnership. Our rigorous screening and secure processes ensure peace of mind every step of the way. For your protection, all payments go through our secure system, backed by Good Dog Payment Protection. Good Dog Payment Protection ensures a safe process for both you and your breeder, and if anything goes wrong during or after the process, our Care Team is here to help resolve any issues.
