    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!

    Our experience working with Arlene was amazing. Everything went smoothly and she was always available to answer questions and guide us along the way. We now have Lilah, our beautiful and lovely new family member in our home … surprisingly brought right to our door!

    It was a wonderful experience with Arlene from Cuddle Paws. She made the experience very easy. Rio is such an amazing puppy. Very smart. We couldn’t be happier.

    Arlene was absolutely wonderful to work with from start to finish. She even took the time to FaceTime with me so I could meet little Sophie before bringing her home. She kept me updated with lots of pictures, answered all of my questions, and made the transportation process so easy. I was definitely nervous about getting a puppy from out of state, but Arlene made the entire experience seamless. Now our sweet little Zara (formerly Sophie) is home, and I truly couldn't be happier. She has been the perfect addition to our family. I highly recommend Arlene to anyone looking for a happy, healthy puppy and a breeder who genuinely cares.
