She was amazing we got our puppy from her today she’s an excellent breeder. All of her puppies are beautiful. She takes care of them as if she was keeping all of them. She ensure that they go to a good home she communicates thoroughly and everything. She said she’s gonna do if she does it to a T, she ensure that the puppy have the greatest health and she also is very accommodating. I asked if she can call the puppy by the potential name we were gonna be giving her to help her understand it more she had no problem doing that she says so many updates. I’ll let you know what’s going on even with things that you’re not even asking of she lets you know she makes me feel super involved in how the puppy is doing and she does the health testing. She tries to make sure it’s an easiest smooth process for you so you were getting the best experience from her I highly recommend her if I were to get another great day and I would get it through her. She is amazing. I cannot say enough good things about her, but I really do appreciate everything she did for us. We started the process in December we are now in the end of January and it was so smooth if you were nervous about getting a puppy online and looking for a great Dane, she is a person go to. I cannot say enough good things about her, but I really appreciate her help during this process because it was a new process and scary. She made it so easy going.
Was well above what I expected!! I will I I we

I don’t like using apps or websites or just searching for anything!! This app jumped out and it is Perfect!! It was quick and easy to use! Found the perfect puppy that I was looking for! The process was simple, contact with the owner was great and we still message each other on how the puppy is doing and I send her updates and photos of our puppy. I was a breeder of cocker spaniels back 1997 to 2005, I really enjoyed and recommend using this app or website for your purchase of your next puppy, but only if the breeder stays in contact with you within a reasonable amount of time say 24 hours on any of your questions if not move on another breeder, but the one that we worked with was awesome. The paperwork she gave us was awesome it was, much more than what I expected!!
Got scammed
Saylor Malia
I put a deposit on a puppy that was marketed at “cream”. But then with more research, I have been told that she is not a true English cream dachshund because neither of her parents are creams and that there is a chance the puppy will turn red. I brought this up to the breeder only a couple hours after submitting my deposit and she was very offended. She said she had testing for both the parents that proved the parents had cream genes. Then when I asked for it she said she actually did not have the testing. Then she said I can see the AKC paperwork for the dogs, only to later say she won’t send the paperwork to me for “fraud” reasons and I would have to come see the papers in person. At this point will all of the inconsistencies I do not feel comfortable meeting with the breeder, especially since they are in a bad area. I kindly asked for my deposit back since it was only a couple hours after I submitted it, she declined rudely. The puppy is only a week old, she would still have plenty of time to find it a home as well. I lost my money, I do not trust this breeder at all. I will be getting a puppy, just not through good dog after this experience nor will I be recommending good dog at this point to anyone.

The worst working app I’ve ever used
Sammie14131211
I’m at a loss for words at this glitchy useless app. Search and filter function don’t work. I’m scrolling seeing the same breeder 20 times in a row then suddenly the screen starts acting weird. Yes my phone is up to date. It doesn’t actually filter when I select and certain size of dog. So if I search for miniature poodle it’s going to give me breeders that only breeder standards. When I go back to the filter all the filters have cleared without me clearing them. The app doesn’t seem to have the function to filter by people who have certain levels of testing. Don’t understand that. I can’t find the breeders I’ve followed, only the puppies or dogs I’ve hearted. So annoying. AND the website only allows me to sort by distance, can’t do that on the app. Deleting the app, not even going to bother linking any kind of card to this useless piece of coding, i’ll just use the AKC website list of breeders. Because this simply doesn’t make sense. It truly doesn’t. This app is almost as useless as Adopt a pet. If you’ve used that ridiculous website then you know how asinine it is. This app is like that.
