They connected me with a very considerate and responsible breeder who kept me informed of my puppies daily growth and development - cannot say enough about that! I am thrilled. Only downside is the pretty high fee Good Dog takes if you complete your transaction through them (especially if you use a credit card). It's a LOT - be warned.

It's legit! in a space that is riddled with scams it's good to finally freaking find a place that isn't and purchase protected. The breeder was amazing all the way through the whole process and even let us come see them before purchasing or putting down the deposit

We recently adopted our sweet puppy Oggi from Dana (breeder), and the entire experience was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. Dana was incredibly patient, helpful, and friendly throughout the process. She was always respectful, open to answering questions, and even flexible enough to meet us halfway for pickup, which we truly appreciated. From the moment we brought Oggi home, it was clear he came from a loving and responsible environment. He’s healthy, clean, and already had such good manners. Something we credit to the breeder’s outstanding early training. You can tell a lot of care and attention went into preparing him for his new home. Oggi has been a perfect fit for our family. He’s incredibly sweet and gets along beautifully with our older dog and even our cats. He loves going on walks, enjoys being around people; especially kids and has such a calm, friendly nature. He is truly everything we were looking for in a dog and more. The app was very easy to navigate, and it made the process of connecting with the breeder and completing the adoption smooth and stress-free. We feel so lucky to have found such a dedicated breeder and to have Oggi as part of our family. Thank you for everything!

We are absolutely over the moon with our experience working with Dana at SchmooterBabies! From the very beginning, Dana was warm, communicative, and incredibly knowledgeable—making the process of bringing home our new long-haired miniature dachshund, Dexter ("Midnight"), an absolute joy. Dexter is everything we dreamed of and more. He’s healthy, well-socialized, and has the sweetest personality, which is a true testament to the love and care Dana puts into raising her puppies. You can tell he came from a home where he was nurtured and treated like family. Dana kept us updated every step of the way with photos, videos, and helpful guidance as we prepared for Dexter’s arrival. She truly goes above and beyond—not just as a breeder, but as someone who deeply cares about her pups and the families they go to. We can’t thank Dana enough for bringing Dexter into our lives. If you’re looking for a happy, healthy, and lovingly raised dachshund, SchmooterBabies is the gold standard!

The Good Dog platform is ready to set up. I love that the clients are vetted before they are messaged to me.its wonderful that you are not reading message after message from scammers.

I was able to find someone close by and got weekly/biweekly updates and pictures. The ability to message back and forth is great! We love our puppy and he came with all the necessities to get started!

Good Dog made connecting with a good, reputable breeder for the breed we wanted easy. There were multiple breeders available and we found our new dogs very quickly. Good Dog handled all the logistics and the breeder stayed in touch with us until the puppies were old enough to come home. Everything about the transaction was first class.
