Working with Bridget was so straightforward & prompt! We had some questions & a few updates she helped with in using the system while we were figuring out getting our new pup—she was so helpful & accommodating! It was awesome to find someone so close to us. Coming by to pick up our new pup, Hagrid, was easy, informative, and a great experience for our kiddo, too. Thank you, Bridget for your kindness & help!

Bridget with 11 Oaks Golden Retrievers was super responsive and answered every questio my wife and I had. She even sent us weekly updates and pictures of our chosen puppy! I would not hesitate to get another puppy from her. Her pups come from great bloodlines and it shows in the puppy we adopted. Thank you Bridget for a wonderful puppy!

Wonderful experience working with 11 Oaks Kennel and Bridget! Puppy was very well taken care of by this breeder and has the sweetest demeanor. Bridget is available for questions and does all she can to make sure her puppies go to good homes and that you’re ready to take puppy home. She made our Christmas! I highly recommend 11 Oaks Kennels. Beautiful, healthy and well adjusted little puppy thanks to her!

My wife and I were thrilled with our experience adopting a golden retriever from Bridget at 11 Oaks Kennels. When we arrived, she and her siblings were inside the house, being cared for. She sent us home with all the materials we needed to get started with a new puppy and was patient and answered all of our questions leading up to pickup. I think she was even partially potty trained, as she got it immediately. We're only 4 months into raising our little Marley but she is growing into the sweetest and most loving dog. Our older dog Bailey, adores her, and they play together every day, walk with us together every morning, noon, and evening, and she's the star of her puppy class, being used to train the shy puppies because of her stellar temperament. I would highly recommend adopting from here and would myself if we're ever fortunate to add another golden to our home.
