Working with Shaylene was the absolute best! This was our first dog ever, and she was so sweet to walk us through the process, respond to our many (probably silly) questions, and give so many updates on our puppy as we eagerly waited to pick him up and bring him home. We did SO much research and reaching out to breeders before we landed on Shaylene and she checks all the boxes for a great breeder- so loving towards all of the pups and so responsible in her breeding practices. We had met the puppies of a different breeder prior to finding Shaylene and their dogs were pretty lethargic and not able to jump up and we were told that was 'normal' for puppies of that age, but when we brought our dog home at ~9 weeks he was already playing fetch, running around, going up and down stairs- you could tell he was so much healthier and the way dogs are supposed to be! Our little pup Kicco (a tiny/toy) cockapoo is an absolute joy- the perfect combo of 'always down for play and adventure' and 'always down for snuggles'. We've taken our little guy on big hikes, trips (we just brought him to Italy!) and all kinds of adventures and he always has the stamina to keep up and join in. As I write this he's snuggled up on my lap as I type- the perfect little companion.

The experience working with Shaylene was excellent. She always responded right away and continued to communicate after we reserved our puppy. The pick up experience was above and beyond. We are grateful we found this breeder!

For anyone looking to adopt a Cockapoo from Dawn To Dusk Cockapoos, you will not be disappointed! I have had my toy cockapoo, Honey, for three weeks now and she is amazing. I owe that to Shay. Shay really loves her puppies and takes the time to desensitize, socialize, and work with them all. I am able to brush her teeth, trim her nails, clip her fur, and brush her with no resistance! Best behaved puppy I have ever adopted.
The whole adoption process was great. Shay kept me updated on Honey's growth and progress. She sent me pictures when I asked and returned my messages the same day. I never once felt uneasy working with Shay. She is amazing and her puppies are worth every penny!
Thank you very much Shay.
