Good dog is PAWSOME! You get to be directly connected with the breeders and everything is just safe and secure (payments wise) you don't have to worry about any scams or any issues like that.
Just have some research on the type of dog you're trying to bring home, make sure they work for you, start searching, talk to breeders and go from there!
Absolutely no pressure into buying a dog, or getting the first one you see.
Browse, talk to breeders, don't be afraid to ask questions and GO WITH SOMEONE YOU feel comfortable with etc.
Most of the breeders (as good dog mentions) are screened before hand as well, so, i don't personally think you'll run into any "issues" per-say. It's just simply, like the pups, one breeder just may "work" better for you vs another (aka maybe more knowledge and communication you're looking for vs another breeder etc.) but i wouldn't say any of the breeders are "bad" or don't care about their pups.
They just simply wouldn't be on Good Dog. So, That's where you can feel safe and just assured. You will get a healthy puppy and generally most breeders encourage staying in touch. So, you kind of make a new family friend in the process as well (of course, however open of a person you are, absolutely no obligations to "keep in touch" or update the breeders afterwards but it IS encouraged). Most breeders are very helpful too. My specific breeder did NOT have the option of transporting the pup, BUT after contacting them, they were super awesome enough to work with me and we made it happen.
Point being, don't be afraid to just TALK to the breeders and ASK questions. You may be very surprised to find out, they will work with you, and getting the pup you're looking at may be easier than you think!
Great option for whatever dog you're looking for. As long as you're financially able to do it (personally, if you're already coming to this site, complaining about prices, imho, you're not "financially" ready for another "life" and please don't take a doggo home if you're not ready or able to support it) there really is no "issues" with this site. You can pretty much find any dog you want, you work directly with the breeder, can select whatever options for you (for pick up) and sometimes even get to meet the breeder and the mommy and daddy of your said pup!
A dog is another life, they are pricey but it's a "lifelong" commitment. So, please just be financially able to take care of the pups before using this site.
Other than that, phenomenal experience.
I just bring the "price" stuff up because you can look at some google reviews (as an example) and people give this app a bad or negative review because of something like that? Kind of make this app's "ratings" misleading.
From my personal experience (We went with a Cane Corso) we just didn't understand that, why rate a site or an app, that does what it's supposed to do, just because idk "you" can't afford it or think it's to high of a price? All i can say to that, is a Cane Corso, is NOT CHEAP and unless you want that dog to be unhealthy, unhappy and just not properly taken care of, guess what? They can literally cost you up to a CAR (sometimes more, depending on vet visits and if they need anything serious etc) in yearly expenses.
My point being, it's a COMMITMENT! If you think it's just dropping the $800-3k etc and call it a day. Then please, RECONSIDER getting a pet in general.
It's truly not right for the puppy.
The app\website delivers on what "It" is supposed to do, as long as you're a responsible owner and are just truly looking for a pup to love and give a happy forever home, then you will NOT have a bad experience with good dog.
