    It was a perfect experience getting our Puppy from Darrla. Leading up to getting our pup she was very responsive and shared a lot of updates. You can tell the puppies were being being raised in a good environment. They were already working on potty training, desensitization, and socialization. Picking up our pup was easy and it was nice to finally meet Darrla. Her and her husband gave us some great advice. Our pup, Dutchess, bonded to my kids and I right away. She picked up potty training right away and easy to train overall. It has been so fun having a Christmas puppy. She got a clean bill of health from the vet. We couldn't be happier.

    Darrla was a highly responsive with a great deal of knowledge about her Goldendoodle breed. She shared all the health info (including that of the parents) and many tips that really helped us get our new puppy quickly acclimated to our home/family. I also appreciate that Darrla let us come look at the puppies before we decided, and without any pressure, she and her husband spent almost 2 hours just letting our family find the right puppy and answering all our questions. We couldn't be happier with our new bundle of joy, and so glad we found Darrla to help us through the process. If we decide to get another dog, we will definitely go back to Darrla.
