raising puppies fifteen years but ....
I have been raising puppies for fifteen years.And I have never been scammed. But now good dog wants to charge more for advertising than any other platform in the industry.And claim they're protecting us from scammers.
They demonetize small breeders. Basically, if you don't sell a large percentage of dogs on their platform, they put your listings lower in the ranking.So fewer people see them.
They force you to make all of your dogs health.Testing public. In this day and age were the behavior of a real scammer is simply to steal your data. I have already seen people.Steal my dog's information and register a fake litter to my dog because of information that was only available on good dog. If you don't post your dog's health. Testing and private information publicly.You can't be competitive on this site. They should allow us to file it with them.So they know we have it, and they can confidently say the dog's testing is verified, but not force us to post it publicly in order to be competitive.
Somehow, they are developing a monopoly over all other advertising sites. i'm sorry, but give me back good old fashioned puppyfind, . We the people can look out for ourselves.
Nobody is incentivizing me.This is my personal opinion

Hi Thecla,
Thank you for sharing this, and for the fifteen years you've put into raising healthy puppies. That experience and care are exactly what we want buyers to be able to find on Good Dog.
When breeders share their dogs' health test files and links directly on their profile, we're finding new ways to educate the public, improve canine health and well-being, and provide transparency to puppy buyers. We completely understand not wanting to expose private details, our team is always happy to help you block out sensitive information, so you can still share your test files while protecting anything personal. Just reach out anytime and we'll walk through it with you.
Good Dog invests significantly in marketing so we can reliably bring you buyers for your litters. Because you only pay our advertising fee when a payment from a Good Dog buyer is successfully completed, there are no upfront costs just to list your litter. It’s important to us that you don't pay anything until the buyers we send you lead to a successful placement.
If you have any other questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us anytime by emailing [email protected]
Warmly,
The Good Dog Team

All for the buyer
There site clearly says there not liable! then breeder just wantsto text and when i did get a call good dog blocks breeders cell number. Your expected to leave money on a picture of a dog like your buying shoes. then towards the end the website is automated and keeps trying you to pay balance. you would have to be an idiot to pay the freight on something you havent seen and the breeder hides behind this site. No real animal lover would trust this site . So stay away go find a real breeder!

Hi Eddie,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We’d love to take a moment to share more about how our platform works to connect interested puppy buyers with our community of responsible breeders.
Every breeder in our community must pass our screening process and meet our community standards, including our Breeder Code of Ethics and minimum health testing requirements, before joining Good Dog.
On Good Dog, interested buyers and breeders can get to know each other as they find the right fit. Good Dog routes calls and texts through a Good Dog number to protect the privacy of both buyers and breeders — you're still connecting directly with the breeder, and you can video call them through Messenger to meet the puppy live before you commit to anything. Deposits and payment terms are always set by the breeder, not by us, and you're never obligated to send money before you're comfortable.
Our Care team would love to connect with you to learn more about your experience, and see how we can help. Please reach out to us anytime at [email protected] or 855-446-6336.
Warmly,
The Good Dog Team

I enjoyed working with the people on…
I enjoyed working with the people on this site, even though none of my puppies were sold through there. I did receive some quality inquiries. However, they fell through in the end. I would highly recommend using this service.

I’m a breeder on Good Dog and I love this platform. They truly care about dogs!! Their policies are strict and protect the health of dogs. They also support breeders and educate us to do the best we can do.
