ERBEKEES-KEESHONDEN & GoodDog
ERBEKEES-KEESHONDEN is a Certified Breeder through GoodDog.
You can view my GoodDog profile here for additional information:

GoodDog provides a secure platform for those who prefer to make their puppy payments through their system rather than directly through me.
Important Policy for GoodDog Contacts
If you initially contact me through GoodDog, your puppy purchase must be completed through the GoodDog platform.
This is a requirement of GoodDog and part of the agreement both buyers and breeders accept when using their service. Because of this, I cannot move a transaction off GoodDog after contact has been initiated through their platform.
Please do not contact me through GoodDog and then ask to complete the purchase directly with ERBEKEES. I will always honor the terms of the platforms I choose to advertise on.
About GoodDog Fees
I understand that buyers may be frustrated by some of GoodDog's additional fees. I also feel that some of their fees are higher than they should be and that the available payment options could be explained more clearly.
However, if GoodDog is how you initially contacted ERBEKEES, the purchase must remain on their platform.
How to Minimize GoodDog Fees
There may be payment options that can reduce or eliminate some of the additional fees, but unfortunately, GoodDog does not always make those options easy to find or understand.
Before making a payment, I strongly recommend contacting GoodDog customer service directly and asking them to explain the lowest-fee payment options available to you.
If you are having difficulty navigating their website or understanding the charges, please let GoodDog know that as well. Those fees and payment options are controlled by GoodDog, so they are the best source for explaining exactly what options are available.
Bottom line: If you contact ERBEKEES directly, you may complete your purchase directly with me. If you first contact ERBEKEES through GoodDog, the purchase must remain with GoodDog.

Hi Jodi,
We're writing to share an important update about payments on Good Dog.
Since we made changes to our pricing structure last year, we've put that investment to work for you. We've significantly expanded our marketing, tripling the number of buyers reaching your listings, and launched new features like video calling and meetup areas to make placements easier. And there's so much more ahead.
But that's only possible if we're all in this together. Right now, a small number of breeders are taking payments outside of Good Dog, and it puts the breeders who are following our On-Platform Payment Policy at a disadvantage. Every buyer who connects with you through Good Dog is there because of what this community contributes. When a payment gets moved off Good Dog, that breeder benefits without contributing back. That means less for us to invest in marketing, and fewer new buyers for everyone. It's not fair to the breeders doing the right thing, it weakens the trust that makes Good Dog work, and it limits what we can do for you.
We've heard from many of you that it isn't fair, and we agree. So we're taking a new approach.
Starting today, if a breeder moves a Good Dog buyer off our platform for a deposit or final puppy payment, we'll suspend that breeder's account for one month. If it occurs again, the suspension will be one year. This is something we'll be actively enforcing going forward.
We're sharing this with you because we want you to hear it from us directly, and to know what we're doing to make this fair for everyone. For those of you doing this the right way — thank you. It's what makes this community work. When everyone follows the policy, it means more investment, which means better marketing, more potential buyers, and better placements for you.
Thank you for trusting us to help place your puppies in the right homes. That's not something we take lightly.
Warmly,
Lauren and Josh
