Hi my name is April and we purchased our cane corso aurora back in February….when we were looking for a new member of our family we knew what we wanted and what we wanted her to look like! Then Aurora popped up and Sarah our breeder was very quick to respond with any and all questions we had. We got a whole package deal! Got the puppy we wanted and had someone to explain the breed to us and how big she would get and did everything she needed to insure it was what we were looking for. I was able to pick Aurora up the same day and given papers and care package that included vet records, micro chip with papers, enough dog food for 3 days of mixing to switch to food of our choice, AKC paper, and a blanket with mommy and siblings smell on it. Aurora is a very quick learned and very well behaved since day one! I couldn’t ask for a better dog….she is truly what we wanted and we are grateful for Sarah and helping us and continuing to text us to see how things are going and for updates! I recommend Sarah if you’re looking to add a cane corso to your family. 10 out of 10 best experience

We bought a Rottweiler from Midnight Rottweilers in June, and I couldn’t be happier. The breeder was easy to communicate with and very informative. We absolutely love your pup and couldn’t be happier with our decision. Thank you Midnight Rottweilers.

A Provider on this platform sold my family a dog with parvo and an expired medical certificate. The service itself was helpful. However, the provider who literally broke the law is still on the platform and advertising animals for sale.

Hi Scott,
Thank you for reaching out. We’re glad a member of our team was able to connect with you to learn more about this situation, but we understand that you do not have an account with Good Dog, and did not use our platform to connect with this breeder.
We are sorry to hear of your experience that occurred outside of our platform, and wish you and your pup the best!
Warmly,
The Good Dog Team

Gooddog used to be good
Gooddog used to be good, now they force breeders to use their payment platform or they will kick you out if not, they also made a new “preferred breeder program” where you get basically more views because your posts come up higher on the search tab if you accept payments through them, it’s one of the requirements.
Absolutely wrong! A puppymill near me that does not even come close to breeding to the breed standard, mixing breeds and just breeding poor quality dogs is allowed to have their posts ahead of mine because they take payments with gooddog, meanwhile my posts hardly get seen and I can’t even accept a payment because nobody that contacts me is serious enough to follow through. Absolutely upset at all the new changes and it’s not fair to actual real good breeders. If I could get someone to commit so I can take a payment I would.
I breed to the proper breed standard beautiful beautiful dogs, top winning show dogs fully health tested
Yet This backyard breeder that only does the bare minimum health testing and doesn’t show their dogs at all or do anything to better the breed they just take 2 dogs together and breed them for profit and do the bare min health testing to “get by” gets all the recognition .. it’s disgusting. Way to promote low end breeders
It’s not just about letting a breeder in because they will use your payment platform or because they do some health testing
The quality of the dogs they produce says a lot and there are many on gooddog especially in my breed that absolutely do not belong on there , it gives the breed a bad reputation and reflects poorly on gooddog as well
Really sad

Hi Kade,
Thank you for reaching out and sharing your feedback with us. We’re happy to share more information about the Preferred Breeder Program that might be helpful. The Good Dog Preferred Breeder program recognizes and rewards Good Breeders for choosing to place their pups on Good Dog, and their dedication to supporting Good Dog buyers.
In addition to maintaining a 48 hour response time to messages and accepting at least one final puppy payment through Good Dog in the past 6 months, Preferred Breeders must also maintain compliance with Good Dog's policies, including our health testing requirements, Community Standards, and On-Platform Payment Policy in order to qualify for Preferred Breeder status.
Although Preferred Breeders have an increased chance of being seen by potential puppy buyers, they aren’t the only breeders that appear on the breed results page, leaving room for many other breeders to connect with Good Dog applicants.
We’re also excited to let you know that you can already receive Breeding Dog Badges to differentiate your program and receive recognition for the health testing performed on your breeding dogs, by sharing your dogs’ health test files and links directly on your profile. Read more here: https://www.gooddog.com/good-breeder-center/breeding-dog-badges
We hope this is helpful information, but if you have any questions about how to receive health testing badges for your sires and dams, or questions about qualifying for our Preferred Breeder Program, please reach out to us at [email protected].

Excellent Breeder
Excellent Breeder. We got exactly the Boston terrier puppy we were looking for. They had all the paperwork and even sent home a little care package for the little guy.

This has been an amazing experience
This has been an amazing experience. 11 Oaks went above and beyond to make this experience easy, pleasant and wonderful! Our puppy is obviously well socialized, healthy and happy. I cannot recommend this breeder any higher
