    Let me begin by saying I do my homework! I researched over 70 breeders before settling on getting our pup from Cruzndoodles! I asked so so many questions some breeders thought I wanted to breed dogs. Nicole was so kind and never made me feel bad about my endless questions. We live in Colorado so Nicole helped us with so many pictures and videos! Nicole started training our pup too so by the time we got him he was sitting on command and started house training. His temperament is amazing! He's the chillest puppy I've ever seen. We just love our boy and know he will only get better with age!

    Nicole and Cruzndoodles made first time puppy owners easy and exciting! We found Nicole from reviews and looking at GANA (Goldendoodle Association of North America). Immediately, we were impressed by her attentiveness and friendliness. Through the process of the puppies being born, growing up, and getting ready for their forever home, Nicole made us feel so comfortable and made us so excited about picking up our puppy. She impressed us with her knowledge of breeding, training, and development of the puppies. Everyday we would receive videos / pictures with updates on the puppies. She took care of getting our puppy started with vet visits, microchipping, vaccinations, and training. When we picked up our puppy, she was so professional and could tell she cared so much for the puppies. I know she was sad to see him go. Once home, our golden doodle has been a healthy (verified by vet), happy, and energetic puppy. We would recommend Nicole 100% to anyone else looking for a golden doodle (and we have to several people)!
