    We truly cannot say enough amazing things about Wolfpack poodles and Bernedoodles and Kate! From start to finish, this was such an incredible experience. Wallen is everything we could have hoped for sweet, confident, loving, and so well-trained. You can tell how much time, care, and love goes into raising these puppies. The transition into our home was so easy, and even better, Wallen and our older dog became best friends almost immediately. We were nervous about introducing a new puppy, but they got along so well from day one. Kate was wonderful throughout the entire process and genuinely cares about every puppy she raises. If you're looking for a Bernedoodle, I cannot recommend Wolfpack poodles and Bernedoodles enough. We are so grateful for our sweet Wallen and couldn't be happier!

    We had a wonderful experience with Kate and could not be happier with our new pup. The entire process was smooth and reassuring, and Kate arranged a flight nanny who did an excellent job. Our puppy arrived calm, happy, and clearly well cared for. Kate had already started potty training, and he has been sleeping through the night since day one. His temperament is amazing and much calmer than our previous bernedoodle who flew in cargo and arrived very stressed. He is already fitting in beautifully with our eight year old bernedoodle. You can tell Kate puts so much care, intention, and love into raising her dogs. We are so grateful and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, compassionate breeder who truly sets their puppies up for success.

    Our puppy Bodi (formerly Boomerang) traveled all the way from Florida to Maine! Kate was wonderful to work with throughout the entire process. I received updates and videos of him daily while he traveled, which was reassuring. Bodi is truly the most wonderful boy, we have received lots of comments. He loves everyone and everything, especially our two young children. I highly recommend Kate and Bernedoodles of Florida!

    We had a fantastic experience with Kate from start to finish. She was always responsive, helpful, and genuinely cared about making sure our puppy was the right fit for our family. What stood out the most was the work she put into the puppies before they went home. He already was off and running with potty training, knew a couple of commands, and was clearly well socialized. We even got to meet mom and dad to get to know their size and temperament as well. Our little man is the perfect combination of playful and cuddly. In just one week, he’s learned his name, picked up several new commands, is doing great with crate training, and has settled into our family better than we ever imagined. Kate also has continued to answer questions after we brought him home, which meant a lot. We highly recommend her and may see her again for a future puppy! Great job!

    She was incredibly responsive. Brady (f/k/a Margarita) has the sweetest, most well-balanced temperament—you can tell Kate puts a tremendous amount of care into both breeding and early training. It’s clear she’s dedicated to raising healthy, happy puppies who are ready to fit right into their new homes. Highly recommend!
