Verified owner · Oct. 2024
Tina was absolutley fantastic throughout the entire process. As a breeder, she took the time to explain all of the puppies, their parents and even the grandparents to ensure my decision was based on solid information. Rusty (was Aster) is the delight of my entire family. He is smart, easy to train (Tina had already taught him to sit and basic crate and potty training), with a delightful mellow and goofy personality. When I picked him up, he ran to my legs and we bonded quickly. Such a wonderful experience and my full recommendation for a puppy from lover dover doodles. You will find a healthy, happy, well socialized friend for life. The vet I took him to said he was very healthy and I had to ask for Rusty back because he had fallen asleep on his shoulder.
