I was new to Good Dog when trying to locate my perfect Golden Retriever. I found my perfect dark red Golden Retriever puppy from Katie O. The process became even better for me when I reached out to Katie. Katie is always responsive, provides regular updates about the puppy litter and provides her puppies with extremely healthy nutrition immediately after the puppies finish weaning. I couldn’t be more impressed and I am extremely grateful that my puppy has become a quick learner and is physically perfect! I reached out to Katie even after I picked up my new puppy and she’s was eager to continue answering my every question.

Getting Daisy Belle through Katie (And Good Dog) was the best experience- Katie easily and quickly answered all questions and concerns, had great advise and absolutely loves the Goldie breed. Daisy has adjusted very well and Baxter our 4y/o dachshund is getting used to her energy but is just a bit reluctant to share “his” toys, and of course any new toy is his.

Katie is such a blessing! She cares so much about her dogs, takes exceptional care of the puppies, and is wonderful to work with. She truly goes the extra mile to ensure great communication, makes the puppy’s transition to their forever home easy for the new puppy parents and for the puppy, and is an all around wonderful person. The puppies are well socialized and have already begun training by the time they come home. I would recommend Katie to ANYONE looking for the best Golden Retriever puppies you could imagine.

What a wonderful experience! Jack and Ginger's Goldens provided us with a top notch buying experience. Our little girl came to us well loved and socialized. Their dogs are their family and that's exactly what we were looking for! Would highly recommend.

Katie the breeder for Jack and Gingers went absolutely above and beyond as a breeder. She was so commutative and made me so so comfortable with getting my golden puppy Sage, throughout the whole transaction. You can tell she REALLY cares about being a breeder and takes extra steps in the puppy’s day to day routines and diet. she genuinely cares about the puppy’s and is very experienced. I would recommend anyone to definitely put your trust in this breeder for Goldens or any other litter. My flight ended up getting cancelled and I had to come a day late then our scheduled airport pickup and she drove completely out of the way to meet me at my hotel. THIS BREEDER IS AMAZING and I’m so happy I decided to get my golden from her.
