    We had an amazing experience with this breeder from start to finish! They were knowledgeable, honest, and always willing to answer our questions throughout the process. It was clear that they truly care about their dogs and make sure each puppy is well-socialized, healthy, and loved before going to their new home. Our puppy has been an absolute joy—healthy, happy, and has such a wonderful temperament. You can tell he had a great start in life. The breeder kept us updated with photos and information, which made the wait even more exciting. We couldn’t be happier with our decision and would absolutely recommend this breeder to anyone looking for a well-bred, well-cared-for puppy. Thank you for giving us such an incredible addition to our family!

    From day one, Arlene was very quick to respond to our questions. I never waited long to get a response. After purchasing Lily (we changed her name to Daisy), Arlene gave us frequent updates with pictures and videos. She was a pleasure to work with and even offered for our Daisy girl to be delivered out of a state for a reasonable price. Daisy was delivered without any issues. We are so in love with our new dog. Daisy is sweet, loving, great with children and is so smart. The first night, we expected her to cry and have to wake up multiple times to go potty, but to our surprise, Daisy slept through the night without any accidents. I know this is dog specific, however, potty training has been easy and with only a few accidents. She essentially came to us potty trained at 8 weeks old. Our Daisy girl is so smart, easy to train and learned many commands quickly. She is 5 months old now, weighs 19 pounds and is such a beautiful dog. She is the best dog we have ever owned. We are so pleased with her. She is so loved. We had lost our previous dog to cancer and Daisy has filled that hole in our hearts. If you are looking for a Bernedoodle, you won’t be disappointed by purchasing a dog from Arlene.

    We had an excellent experience working with Arlene at Cuddle Paws when buying our mini Bernedoodle. She was incredibly responsive throughout the entire process, answered all of our questions promptly, and made everything smooth and easy from start to finish. We’ve now had June for almost a month, and she has been an absolutely wonderful puppy. She’s sweet, confident, and has adjusted so well to our home. It’s clear that she received exceptional care and socialization during her first 11 weeks. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and would highly recommend Arlene and Cuddle Paws to anyone looking for a healthy, well-loved puppy.

    We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Arlene! From the very beginning, she was honest, transparent, and incredibly responsive. She answered every question we had promptly and made us feel confident throughout the entire process. It was clear how much she genuinely cares about her puppies and the families they go to. Our mini Bernedoodle, Fynn, has been an absolute joy. He is incredibly smart, so loving, and growing so fast! He has a wonderful temperament and has been such an easy puppy to love. It’s obvious that Arlene gave him an excellent start in life. We are so grateful to Arlene for her guidance, care, and dedication. If you’re looking for a responsible, knowledgeable breeder who truly puts her puppies first, we highly recommend her. Thank you, Arlene, for bringing Fynn into our lives!
