We Felt Good Dog Was a Business We Could Trust

We went with Good Dog because we knew the breeders go through a process to be able to advertise on the site to show they are reputable. We saw the puppy we were interested in, and a couple of weeks later, we were taking him home. Our vet checked him over, and said, “excellent “.

The Exceptional Good Dog Experience


The breeder, Dreamy Nights Doodles, was outstanding. They responded to my emails promptly, sent weekly updates, and shared photos of Scooby, which made the whole process feel exciting rather than stressful. Everything was easy to follow and genuinely engaging.
Good Dog is also an invaluable resource, offering clear, helpful information throughout. Because of my experience with both Good Dog and the breeder, I’ve recommended Good Dog to people I meet when I’m out with Scooby, and they ask where he came from. I’m always happy to point them to Good Dog and confidently recommend the experience.

Hi!

On Good Dog, you can filter search results based on puppy price and see the average price for each breed, giving you a clear idea of what to expect. Puppy prices are clearly and transparently displayed on each puppy listing, allowing you to see the price upfront before reaching out to a breeder to learn more.

Breeders set their own prices on Good Dog, which are reflective of the significant investment and care that goes into responsible breeding—including costs of comprehensive health testing, early socialization, environmental enrichment, veterinary care, and much more that goes into raising healthy, well-adjusted puppies.

Our team would be happy to help you on your puppy search, to find the breeder who’s the right fit for you. Please feel free to email us anytime at help@gooddog.com

Warmly,
The Good Dog Team

Honestly it was so easy I thought it…

Honestly it was so easy I thought it must be a scam! Our last several dogs have been rescues and the application process for those dogs was long, diffuse and took a very long time. Several of them had special needs! Not our latest. We wanted an adult dog but not a senior dog this time. In doing a search, Good Dog actually allowed me to easily find what we were looking for. Their search engine took us directly to what we were looking for. Our new dog is a young adult and as sweet as can be! His breeder bred and raised him very well! Ana, thank you for allowing us to adopt Duncan and
to complete our family!

Working with Robin was great

Working with Robin was great! Loved getting all the updates, photos and immediate responses during our time working with her at TruHusky's. Would definitely go back or refer her if I was looking for another Husky!

A trusted site

Everything is run through the site so there are no "back alley" transactions. We got an amazing dog from an amazing breeder and everything was on the up and up.

Are breeder we chose was Karen Fish

Are breeder we chose was Karen Fish. She is absolutely the best person and breeder! She keeps you informed how your pup is doing as you wait for the day you can receive the pup. She is loving and caring to her pups. They are comfortable in her house and feed correctly. Her dogs make beautiful babies. I highly recommend and would use her again. Our pup is beautiful, sweet and has my whole heart! Thank you Karen!

Our Padmé

Jeffrey communicated very well and answered all my questions.
We fell in love with our Padmé (maple) as soon as we held her. She is what our family was missing.

Good Dog is a GREAT/REPUTABLE way to shop for all breeds/prices/locations for a dog.

With all the scams on the internet- I felt confident that Good Dog was very reputable!! The breeder was very professional, they took very good care of our puppy before we got her- took time to touch base and answer all my questions before, during & after we picked up our puppy. Our puppy was just as precious in person as she looked in the pics. Their children loved on our dog and you could tell all the steps were taken to socialize her, let her ride in a car and had been taken care of by a reputable vet. We are so very happy we used Good Dog & come to find out my brother just got a different breed using Good Dog. I HIGHLY recommend our breeder - Ammie H. from Magnolia Spring Aussies with miniature Australian Shepards.

Finding our Pup With Good Dog

When we decided to bring a puppy into our home, it was easy for us to choose a lab. Finding a lab and creating a working relationship with a breeder was a bit intimidating. It's been 13 years since our last pup! Good Dog created an environment that welcomed us into the breeder environment with great intros, pictures, and personalized stories about each pups history. Having the monetary piece held separate from the personal experience once we chose our breeder created confidence in the process as well.
We brought our pup home Dec. 12th. He is growing and learning. Our 11 yr. old dog has really accepted and become a buddy and mentor as I also am learning new tricks for raising a pup.
Thank you Good Dog for making our experience finding our puppy smooth and supported. I hope others out there find what they are looking for and consider using Good Dog!

I enjoy using gooddog as a breeder BUT...A

I enjoy using gooddog as a breeder. It a one stop shop for litter updates, communication, and payments. The only thing I have notnliked is the change in the payment policy from the breeders side. We try and keep the cost of puppies as low as we can but we do see that we will need to raise prices to compensate for the breeder deductions. Other than that I truly love the app and the families that have joined our family through purchasing a puppy with us.

Great experience 💯 happy

I didn't know this kind of a dog search website existed. I'm sure glad I found it. Through Good dog, I found a great breeder and my wonderful puppy. I highly recommend using this. The search criteria enabled me to filter what I was looking for easily. Met with the breeder and couldn't be happier
