    We purchased a golden doodle from Sarah and couldn’t have been happier with the whole process! Sarah is so knowledgeable and so helpful with being there to ask all of the questions we had. We were able to visit the puppies to see which one was best for us and totally fell in love with one. They had already named him Bear and the name was so perfect that we kept it!! He is the sweetest puppy we have ever had. I was very pleasantly surprised with how easy it was to train him in our new home. I truly think it has to do with the care Sarah gives them and all of the things she does to get them ready to go to their new home. I couldn’t recommend her more!! If we ever get another, we will only go through her!

    I had a mini golden doodle in the past and wanted another one. I reached out to Sarah, who from the outset, was very knowledgeable and helpful- even though I was still looking and hadn’t made up my mind to get my pup from her. Her selfless help and honesty impressed me so much that I decided to get my new friend from her. Once I put the deposit in, she was thoughtful enough to FaceTime the puppies with me so I could decide which one would be best for me. At last, I went to pick up my little friend. She is already potty trained!! Sarah’s guidance about the first few weeks made sense, and applying those pearls of wisdom have begun to show positive results already. She continues to be accessible for any questions and concerns. I cannot say enough how much I have learned from her and how grateful I am that she was the breeder of my little Carmen!!
