Nicole was wonderful from the start. She communicates well and usually responds right away. She answered my questions with a lot of patience and understanding. She also sent countless videos of our puppy so we could see her with her mom and siblings. We love our little girl, Olive. She came to us knowing some basic commands and the beginning stages of potty training. She is so sweet and well behaved for a puppy!
This whole experience has been very positive, and I can't thank Nicole enough for our little girl and the healthy start she got. I had a flight nanny Nate who was also amazing and made it very convenient to get our puppy home. I highly suggest RottnBostons for a great experience and the high-quality puppies she breeds

Excellent experience
We had an absolutely heartwarming experience with Ashley and her family. Prince Duke Ruston (Now Herman) is fitting in so beautifully in our new home with our senior shih tzu, Pudge. 🐶🐶🤎🐾💚 You can truly tell what a great breeder Ashley is & how deeply she cares about the puppies and that theyre going to genuinely loving, good homes 🏡! We appreciate that she's reached out to see how the puppy is doing since getting home. She made sure we had everything for the puppy! She was willing to work with us on travel and timing to secure our puppy safely ❤️ Herman has been very well tempered and behaved for a puppy. He sleeps through the night. He eats drinks and uses the potty without issue! He has the most beautiful coat and a sweet little puppy bark. He gets the little zoomies. You truly wont regret going with her if youre looking for a trusted shih tzu breeder. The vet said the puppy was in great health too. Our senior shih tzu was from another breeder who did not breed correctly & due to this he was born with an umbilical cord hernia. Our last puppy was also not as well mannered or trained this early on. 🤎❤️Herman has just truly been the biggest blessing to our family right before the holidays 🙏🏻

The lady I got my dog from Rochelle…
The lady I got my dog from Rochelle Cooley was great to deal with. She kept me informed on everything until we met and I got my dog.

Happy client
It was easy to view available puppies and paying through this site prevents the fraud involved if buying puppies online. I must say I did not really read the agreement on this site and was somewhat surprised by the extra fees over the price of a puppy. But that is understandable, if that is how they make their money.
The breeder, Lance Gordon was great to deal with as well.

Hi Jacqueline,
We're so glad you found your new best friend through Good Dog!
We appreciate your feedback about our Protection & Support fee. We'd like to clarify that this fee is entirely optional—you can always choose to pay on Good Dog with zero fees. Many new puppy owners find value in the benefits it provides:
- Payment Protection: Your payment is protected, giving you peace of mind that we'll step in to help resolve any issues that might arise.
- Support: We provide lifelong support from our expert team, including veterinarians and behaviorists, who are here to guide you through every stage of your journey with your new pup.
- Puppy training & exclusive discounts: You'll get access to professional training resources, including personalized coaching and online courses, plus exclusive savings on essentials from trusted partners like Chewy, Rover, and BarkBox.
- Platform sustainability: This fee also helps us maintain our high standards and continue improving our platform to help more families like yours find their perfect match.
For payments made on Good Dog through credit or debit cards, there’s an additional 3-3.5% processing fee, which is directed to our payment processor, and not to Good Dog. However, buyers can always choose to opt out of this card processing fee by paying with an ACH bank transfer.
If you have any questions about these benefits, please feel free to email us anytime at [email protected] and someone from our team will be happy to take care of you!
Warmest wishes to you and your new pup,

Simple, safe, & streamlined
This experience was so simple and easy. The step by step way that the site guides you though the process of purchasing a pet for your family is streamlined to near perfection.
Working with Breauna was a dream as well. She was responsive and worked with me on a date/time to pick up our new baby. She handed over a quality boxer puppy with all the veterinary paperwork to ensure that caring for her would be as simple for us as possible.
Our new baby has blended into our homes and lives seamlessly and we are so happy to have her.

Happy Puppy Parents
Finding our perfect puppy was extremely easy with good dog! It allowed us to preview different breeders and buy a healthy puppy with confidence. Justin, our breeder, was very communicative and answered any questions we had about our puppy in a timely manner. The payment and meetup to pickup our pup were smooth and flawless. Our puppy is also super smart and already learning new tricks! I would recommend good dog to anyone looking for their newest family member. (Justin from XOM retrievers if you’re looking for a lab!)

I love the exposure I get from Good Dog!
I’ve been very impressed with the exposure Good Dog has given me and my program. Being a small hobby breeder, I get inquiries from people who would never know that I’m here if it weren’t for Good Dog.

Breeder on GoodDog since 2021
I joined GoodDog in 2021 and although the first year was super slow the following years have been remarkable. 90% of my placements are from GoodDog buyers. The platform is amazing when it comes to promoting and the payment policies are in place to safeguard both the breeder and the buyer.
