+6We found our perfect poodle at Always Best Poodles. With GoodDog.com, the buying process was an absolute breeze. My wife lit up with joy when Jennifer brought this little ball of white fur into the room and handed her over. We instantly fell in love with little Kiku, and I knew she was the perfect puppy meant for us! All the paperwork was ready on pick-up day. Jennifer answered all our questions with expert professionalism, and always makes herself available to contact in the future. It was such a delight buying from a registered breeder & certified veterinarian; literally the ideal person to get a purebred poodle! Kiku is the joy of our lives! We love our sweet little girl more than anything, and spoil her with affection! 100% satisfied knowing that we have a happy, healthy, guilt-free puppy! You will be, too, when you buy from Always Best Poodles! Thank you, Jennifer! 🐩🥰

We had a wonderful experience buying a puppy from Jennifer. She is very knowledgeable about poodles and helped us through the process from the day our little Millie was born until the day we picked her up. And she still loves to hear from us and get updates now that Millie is home with us. We had many questions and Jennifer answered every one with thoroughly and reassured us every step of the way. We loved getting pictures and updates on our puppy on a regular basis. Jennifer was so easy to work with and we will always be proud to recommend her to anyone looking for a special puppy. On a scale of one to ten , Jennifer is a 💯

We’ve been looking for a companion to our poodle girl Abby. I was referred by a coworker to use good dog.com ,we needed to make sure we will not be scammed and we could not be any happier. We decided to go with Jennifer and it was a delightful process. Jennifer responded to our messages right away and kept us informed all throughout. She was very accommodating and we can 100% agree that she is trustworthy.

Madeline is doing absolutely wonderful. She is adjusting well at her new home. Spoiled as ever. Expects a new toy everything I bring in bags. They learn fast. Lol. Her groomer fell in love with her yesterday. Jennifer, the breeder, made it wonderful, and answered my questions when concerns come up. I have already recommended her to others. I have a new furbaby to spend my days with!

+5Jennifer was very responsive and kept me updated every step of the way! Koda is naturally well-behaved and has been a great addition to our family. She is doing really great with training (she is already crate/apartment trained and knows several tricks)! We cannot wait to see what the future has in store with her! :)
