We went through gooddog.com to find our pup (cavapoochon) which we will be bringing home May 23rd! We had a really good experience with the website, they screen the breeders and follow up on your experience etc. The breeder we are going with found on the site is awesome. She constantly gives us updates via pictures and is even willing to meet us halfway to pick our pup up. Source: about 1 year ago

I bought my puppy from a breeder I didn't realize was kind of sketchy. She promised me papers and parents DNA info on pickup but "suddenly realized the sire didn't have the DNA registered with AKC". It's been 6mo since we got her and shes now ignoring me on gooddog.com. She says she chipped all the puppies with her own information but still hasn't provided a transfer of ownership.
