DO NOT buy a bulldog from Gooddog and breeder Sophie Thompson of Oklahoma. I paid a premium price for a English Bulldog that cant be registered. I contacted Gooddog and they did not help or try to stand behind their product.

Gooddog amazing place to list
I have been with gooddog for years and my experience with them has been nothing but amazing. They are always innovative in the improvements to the platform making the vetting process for me easier. I have a lot of owners through this platform and I know my puppies are in great homes. I can tell that the people who are looking on the site for a puppy are of a high quality. I have never had a problem with thinking my puppies are going to a bad situation. I recommend this platform to any breeder trying to improve their program.

Joyce's Miniature Schnauzers
Ms. Joyce was very professional and answered all questions. The facility / home was clean and safe. Our puppy was clean and of excellent health. All current veterinary visits and shot records were provided for our puppy. I would highly recommend Joyce's Miniature Schnauzers.

If you're a dog lover avoid this place at all cost
If you're a dog lover, I strongly advise against visiting this site. Despite claiming to screen and feature reputable breeders, it's actually overrun by backyard breeders lacking proper registration for their dogs. Most “breeders” fail to provide pedigrees, refuse site visits, or even a simple FaceTime to show the animals' living conditions. Some breeders constantly advertise new litters every month, questioning the integrity of their breeding practices. Promoting such breeders, despite boasting about careful screening and care for animal welfare, is completely unacceptable. It's better to seek out local breeders, conduct your personal vetting, and trust your instincts. Be wary of sites that promise "secure transactions" while facilitating transactions for unscrupulous breeders preying on unsuspecting customers. These practices are misleading and should be legally challenged. If you've been affected by these scams or offered merely a partial refund, please reach out to me.

Hi Kristina,
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.

We understand that our Compliance Team communicated with you what additional steps would be needed from you to ensure our Community Standards, Code of Ethics, and Policies are upheld. Should you decide to make the necessary changes to your program in line with our Standards, 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

Joyce's Miniature Schnauzers
After seeing our puppy on Good Dog, I asked the breeder a series of questions regarding the puppy and the purchase and I was answered in an expeditious and thorough manner. I asked if the breeder could take additional photos/video and she graciously supplied those to me. When we arrived we were greeted with a smile and allowed to get to know the puppy. The puppy was very sweet and socialized and we have not had any problems with anxiousness or fear when meeting children or our other dogs. We were supplied with vet and shot/deworming records, toys, a sample of food and treats prior to leaving. After we left I got a sweet message that the breeder did shed a few tears after parting with this sweet puppy. The puppy is very bright, playful and seems to be intelligent. She is already responding to being called after just a few days. I would highly recommend this breeder without hesitation.
