Hi Monica, Thank you for reaching out. Although we understand that you have not been a member of our community since April, we’re happy to share more information about the recent changes we made to our pricing structure for breeders in September. With this change, when we've done the work of connecting a Good Dog breeder with a Good Dog buyer and they decide to place one of their pups with them, there will be a 6.5% deduction applied to the deposit (if they have one) and dog payments with that buyer. We're committed to building a stronger, more sustainable platform for all our breeders, and this pricing structure helps ensure our services remain viable long-term. We understand that in April, our Compliance Team let you know about the information we’d need to receive in order to re-evaluate your program, in line with our Standards. Should you wish to rejoin Good Dog in the future, we ask that you reach out with the previously requested information, and we’d be happy to re-evaluate your program. We continue to wish you and your program all the best. -The Good Dog Team

Hi Alayne, 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 and enforced fairly. -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 licensing and certification we’d need to receive from you, in order to maintain compliance with our Good Breeder Code of Ethics. Should we receive the necessary documentation, our team would be happy to reevaluate your program. 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, The Good Dog Compliance Team

Hi Sara, Thank you for reaching out! We see that a member of our Good Dog Specialist team reached out to you to help you through this situation on October 4th. With these changes to our pricing structure, when we've done the work of connecting you with a Good Dog buyer and you decide to place one of your pups with them, there will be a 6.5% deduction applied to the deposit (if they have one) and dog payments with that buyer. Since we know this is a change, breeders in our community will receive one free deposit payment and one free final dog payment, so you can see firsthand how this change will work without any cost to you. We're committed to building a stronger, more sustainable platform for all our breeders, and this pricing structure helps ensure our services remain viable long-term. You can learn more about this change to our pricing structure here: https://www.gooddog.com/good-breeder-center/good-dogs-path-forward-new-pricing-structure We hope that we were able to help turn your experience into a positive one, but if you have any more questions, please feel free to reply directly to the email we previously sent, or give us a call at 855-446-6336. We look forward to hearing back from you and are always here to support you! Warmly, -The Good Dog Team
