I believe whole hearted that the owner of this web page is a known scam artist in the WPG world. Alex Michael Lawrence or Larry Fiske. Do not trust this site. Will update with confirmation of findings never answer phone. Same voices and same “pitch” as all their other scams

Good Dog claims to protect consumers by promoting "Certified Good Breeders." Well, I bought a puppy from one of their "Certified Good Breeders". On delivery from the breeder, the puppy was infected with parvo. In addition, the breeder made a number of misrepresentations to me in order to induce me to buy the puppy. I contacted Good Dog to tell that their supposed Certified good breeder is both irresponsible and a scammer. Good Dog did a quick "investigation" which consisted solely of talking to the breeder. What a joke. The breeder refunded the purchase price to me because the puppy was parvo infected, so Good Dog said they "did the right thing." No. A responsible breeder would have also taken the puppy back, and paid to treat it. I got stuck with $10,000 in vet bills, and have a parvo puppy that will have lifelong GI problems. That is not what I bargained for, the breeder scammed me, and Good Dog said they "did the right thing." Then the breeder posted fake 5 star reviews online posing as me, which is illegal false advertising. I contacted Good Dog again and no response. And to escape negative reviews, the breeder then changed the name to a different breeder. Also false advertising. I contacted Good Dog again, no response. Even now, this crooked breeder is still listed as a "Certified Good Breeder" and selling puppies, more than over 6 weeks after I first contacted them. Even the breeder realized the jig was up and shut down their website and Facebook page, but Good Dog stands by them. Their "certification" process is scam to protect breeders, good and bad. Do not trust GoodDog.com.

I am a breeder on gooddog. They take the time to do an extensive interview and verify every part of the health testing and anything we claim on our profile. They require the minimum Recommended for the breed in health testing by the OFA and that varies by breed. For example for my Rottweilers they required a minimum of genetic testing and hips/elbows to get a good eating and add cardiac screening and eyes to get Excellent which we have. I am very happy with their breeder support and am honestly not sure why the negative reviews unless breeders can't prove health testing which is terrible. Winter's Fate Kennels

This is a review for the website GOOD DOG which was created as an answer to Facebook who blocked and deleted dog breeders and their Facebook pages. I waited long before I did a profile on their site and when I finally did - I was rejected. I am a responsible breeder, I health test all my dogs, they live in my home, we take very good care of them and we are very careful about where they go. I posted all the necessary photos and what health testing we do and waited for approval, that went unanswered for months. Then I had to call, I actually spoke with someone who said I would get a call back - NOPE. THEN, I emailed several times - all went unanswered. Finally when I pushed the situation for a response, I was not the right fit for their site. There is something wrong with that fact that this is most likely a privately held and operated website and therefore subject to one or two people’s objections. There is absolutely no reason for them to have rejected our breeding practice whatsoever. So many top breeders of my actual breed wouldn’t be caught dead on that site, so I guess I’m in good company. After their lousy response of “not a good fit for our site...” I had to get them to delete my profile. Again, those requests went unanswered until I had to demand it. I removed all my information and photos ahead of their confirmation they finally took my profile off as I requested. This is just as bad as any company who appeals to the general public but discriminates on a whim and refuses to explain why. If this is how they treat a responsible breeder, how are they going to treat you. I cannot wait for them to write a response to this review, because I don’t stand for unfair and unjust discriminatory practices whatsoever! I will say this, in the beginning when they first started, I started my profile but they wanted me to provide them all my documents for health testing. This was a brand new site and did not have but a few breeders on it. I wasn’t willing to hand over my private kennel documents, normally reserved for puppy buyers to view and I wanted to wait to see if this site was going to charge breeders or treat them unfairly. When another breeder said give it a try, I did and just out of the blue, and most likely because I was reluctant to use them in the beginning, whoever I initially spoke with just decided that he/she would just reject me out of spite. This is no way to run an online company at all Lauren and Josh.
