Ok so looking for a Great Dane pup, found one I liked, clicked on her and took me to this whole page to fill out to qualify, after filling out I received an email stating I qualified but… I would have to pay a $500.00 upfront to reserve non refundable. Which I don’t know you I don’t pay upfront especially on line. So I asked some questions like how do I know that’s the puppy I’m getting the one I picked, they said ohhh you can only pick after you pay and see if available. Well that does not sound comforting, then they can give any excuse. Then I said also I would like to see what I’m buying , they said that’s not possible, they can FaceTime but can’t see because no shots yet. Ok fine I understand so I said that’s the one I want, when you can confirm with me that’s the one I’ll get and I can go see them, then I will pay. All of a sudden after being a qualified dog owner I have 2 dogs, I was no longer qualified because my 2 dogs were not yet neutered. But they new that on my application. So I just said thank you very much but I’ll go local where I can see it. I see they have good reviews but be careful, anyone will tell you pay nothing upfront especially if you do not know what you’re getting and what and when. Not saying they are not reliable, but a little funny to me

update 3/21/23. I was scammed by Bambini Kennels (out of RI). Isabella, convinced me to make a payment outside of the good dog platform. Then Isabella ghosted me. Four months later, no puppy and she will not return my deposit. Be aware...of Bambini Kennels. I have contacted the Better Business Bureau. ke

Good dog is conceptually a good platform. The problem is they are breeder based. For a buyer it provides sources for dogs however if there’s a dispute they side with the breeder. Jut go in knowing their price protection policy is malarkey. When I had an issue they claimed to examine the conflict and refunded their fee so they didn’t have to fulfill the price protection policy. They then told me I wasn’t protected so after returning a dog that I paid $2500 I was out of luck. So thrilled for evaluators to see food dog response. Multi million dollar vc funded venture arrogance. Facts of this case matter and fortunately I saved them. They, a Good Dog staff verbally communicated I had a case and encouraged me to seek restitution so I filed a claim and when they didn’t like that it would cost them to cover their protection contract they bailed. The second good dog person actually told me since we just refunded you we can no longer help. Classic! Just be aware they do not protect buyers if something goes wrong. Oh did I mention I actually had the dog for three days before returning it to the breeder. The breeder got $2500 plus resold the dog. Thank you Good Dog god helping me. They told me the breeder would be open to compromise if I reached out. I did and heard nothing. Also, Notice that there’s no way to rate breeders. Why is that Good Dog. The site works for one party. Just be upfront and say that.

BeachRidge Pups Breeder Julie. We were sold Luna, the 3rd pictured in this post on January 1st of this year. We traveled to get her excited to have a pekinese girl puppy for our male pekinese dog. We were given papers assuring she was pure breed. We took her home and fell in love. Our dogs fell in love with her. Our vet suggested to get a DNA test as she thought she was mixed. The DNA test came back and she's half pekinese half shizu. We contacted this breeder and wanted our money or at least some of it as we were lied to. She said it was an oopsie litter and it happens all the time. We then we're told we only get our money back is we give the puppy back. She then threatened us with legal action. She put us on the wait-list for approved buyers from good dog website. Listings and details were changed on her website right after along with raising prices on her other dogs. She told us that a shizu pekinese mix was very valuable and that we could register it. We just want others who may have had the same experience to know they are not alone and feel threatened by her legal action. Buyer beware.

I purchased A pup from Southern Thompson Miniature Dachshunds. After paying for the pup, she claimed I was a scammer. She was willing to give a great deal on the pup. The next day she tried to take $200 out for the deposit telling me I was a scammer and she wasn't refunding the entire amount of the sale for the pup. Trying to make arrangements to pick up the dog was impossible with no time frame. I wouldn't advise anyone to purchase from her.

I've been trying to put a deposit down on a puppy and the system is not working.ive called, texted and emailed and no answer, I'm about to lose my puppy because the payment can not be requested. Unacceptable

At first i was on edge and debating using gooddog and rightfully so!It was all good for over 4 months now they randomly deleted my account or put it on hold til i send them pictures of my house and sensitive information their very nosey! They also censor what you can and can’t talk about on gooddog like payments and i feel that’s wrong because people should be able to pay cash or other payment methods.So glad i only accepted small deposits on gooddog since they locked me out of my account randomly after iv already been approved for the last 6 months that i was advertising and using the app.I wouldn’t recommend gooddog to anyone now its not safe and you could easily lose money

The breeder decided that I was not an acceptable home for her puppy. She had read something on Google which was disturbing. However, I could have given her 50 character witnesses, but she asked for none. I was not angry; just stunned and disappointed. I am awaiting a refund for my deposit.
