Michelle was not only a wealth of knowledge when it came to doodle breeds, but she was everything you would want in a breeder. She was warm, kind, loving to all of her animals, and very encouraging. We left with our new pup feeling confident because she reassured us she would be there for any questions we might have in the future. And our sweet pup is the PERFECT fot for our family!!!

We are so grateful to Michelle for helping us through the process of becoming first time dog owners. She went above and beyond to help us learn about and select the perfect puppy for our family. Our pup is super friendly, great with kids and other dogs, and quick to learn anything we’ve taught her. We credit Michelle for loving her well and giving her an amazing start. We highly recommend Central Valley Canine Companions!

Working with Michelle was easy and enjoyable! As first-time dog parents, we had tons of questions, and she was incredibly responsive — always taking time to provide helpful information and resources to prepare us for our new puppy. Our puppy came home healthy, well-socialized, and full of personality, which speaks to the care Michelle puts into her breeding program. The whole process was smooth and transparent from start to finish. We’re so grateful for our experience and highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a loving, responsible breeder.

Working with Michelle to find our perfect puppy was such a pleasure and she made the process so easy. We received updates on how our puppy was coming along and we got to spend time with her during our meet and greet to be sure we were the perfect match. Our puppy Shiloh is happy and healthy and we could not be more thrilled and in love with her.

Michelle was AMAZING! Michelle was very responsive to questions and sending me updated pictures until pickup! Michelle always updated me on my puppies status and weekly updates. Michelle made this process so easy, so invested in ensuring puppies go to great homes. Definitely more than just a breeder she takes such great care of the fur babies. A pleasure having the opportunity to have gotten my dream dog from Michelle. Highly recommended Central Valley Canine Companions. Our new addition Rhylei🎀 is highly intelligent, easy to train, and truly the best companion.
