They say they don’t discriminate but apparently they do. We worked hard. To follow their rules and comply to get all their badges, all of dog were health tested, etc. we made them a lot of money. All of a sudden our bulldogs had to big of ropes and they deleted us and said compliance team made that decision. Our bulldogs are healthy and with nice AKC approved ropes not overdone, while approving breeders with fluffy pugs and other mixed breeds. It’s really sad because we thought they were good at first but they don’t play fair! You ask them to review and they say we can’t for 6 months and if we get rid of our male that supposedly has a big rope, the puppies produced by him also which we showed them many examples of also do not have big ropes. Seems like their priorities are not in order.

Hi Kayla, Thank you for reaching out. We’re glad that a member of our team has already been able to connect with you and share more information about our Community Standards, Good Breeder Code of Ethics, and Policies, and how they may apply to an individual breeding program. As they mentioned, all programs that are recognized on Good Dog must meet our Community Standards, Code of Ethics, and Policies (linked below), and may be subjected to periodic audits to ensure that our Community Standards are upheld. -https://www.gooddog.com/standards-and-screening -https://www.gooddog.com/breeder-code-of-ethics -https://www.gooddog.com/good-breeder-center/good-dog-article-toc#good-dog-policies We understand that our Compliance Team let you know about the necessary changes you’d need to make to your program in line with our Standards, and that should those changes be made, we’d be happy to re-evaluate your program at the end of the six month timeframe our team communicated to you. We understand that not everyone will agree with our approach, but we know that you, as a dog breeder, are working very hard and that you have a breeding program to be proud of. We continue to wish you all the best. Kind Regards, Good Dog Team
