    Kari’s communication was top notch, she is very responsive and answered all my questions. I also appreciated her honesty and integrity about waitlists and reservations for other clients. Buying through Good Dog’s was actually hassle free and secure! I would choose it again over adoption or pet stores for a number of reasons, I walked away with Annie with a greater sense of confidence in her health( emotionally, socially and physically). Her home was cozy and the puppies were happy and healthy. Kari also provided all needed paperwork and a goodie bag. It was a wonderful experience in an otherwise nervous/exciting first time puppy owner!

    Kari was very welcoming and knowledgeable. She really seems to care about the pups and the homes / families they match with. Day 1 with our little guy has been awesome. He is such a sweet mellow pup.

    We stumbled upon Kari through Gooddog.com and we couldn't be happier that we did. Kari is very responsive to messages and was able to answer all of our questions! She took the time to do a video call with us using Google Meet since we didn't have FaceTime (she downloaded the app and registered specifically for us to be able to meet our sweet pup). We were instantly drawn to Elton (now Griffin) and she was able to discuss personality traits with us to help us narrow down our difficult decision. She offered for us to come meet all the puppies but we were confident Griffin was our pup. She was willing to meet us half way since we lived several hours away from her which was very much appreciated. Kari and her family love these puppies and it showed when we met with her and her daughter and learned their breeding practices. We couldn't be happier with Griffin. We've had him just over 2 weeks now and he has the best temperament. He is so chill but loves to have fun! He is learning to potty train soo fast and is super easy to crate train. Everything has been so flawless and we are grateful for such a great experience! We were looking specifically for a multigenerational goldendoodle puppy due to our son having allergies. I am happy to say that he is showing zero signs of allergy issues! We brush Griffin and not a single hair sheds off of him! So happy!! Thank you Kari and Family! The Davis Family

    Kari was very responsive and supportive to our families needs. She had so much knowledge about the breed and answered all of our questions. Once we decided to move forward, Kari kept in contact with pictures, videos and FaceTime until we could meet our new puppies. When we had our visit, we felt so fortunate that the puppies were in a loving and safe environment. The puppies were so well cared for and even had some basic commands and some potty training. We are very grateful to have chosen Copper Mountain Goldendoodles. Both Reba and Bo Duke are thriving in our home .

    Working with Kari has been a great experience. It's obvious the love and care given to all their puppies. It's only been a few days with our new puppy at home, but we could not be happier with him so far! He's perfect!
