    I had an amazing experience with Doug & Cathy! They were professional, responsive, and clearly passionate about their dogs. Our pup Milo is with us for almost a month now and what really stood out was how well-socialized and healthy he is! He’s calm but a confident and happy dog! It’s clear they put a lot of care into early development and proper breeding practices. The transition home was smooth, and they even sent us home with a helpful starter kit and detailed health records. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a reputable, caring, and ethical breeder. Thank you for bringing such joy into our lives!

    Cathy is wonderful to work with! She is responsive, knowledgeable and is always available to answer questions. I had lost an aussiedoodle one month prior and she was compassionate and caring about the pup I was asking her about and my late pal. We picked up our wittle guy, our Mini Cooper, on April 9. I had questions that evening and she was just as great as our previous interactions! Cooper is well adjusted, fun, playful and loving. He had his initial puppy visit with our local veterinarian who said we have a very healthy puppy. Thanks again Hearth and Hounds xoxo

    Doug and Cathy were amazing. This is the first time I've gone through a breeder to get a dog. They made it so easy and seamless. Cathy made sure to send me regular photos and video updates of our Daisy. She also allowed us to video chat with our sweet girl. It allowed us to get to know each other from a distance. Which made us so much more comfortable. They answered all the questions I had, and were very friendly. Daisy is such a sweet addition to our family, and has already stolen everyone's hearts. She has the sweetest temperament, and is definitely a snuggler. Daisy was welcomed into our home to become an Emotional Support Animal for our son. And we couldn't be more happy with our experience. I highly, highly recommend Cathy and Doug's Hearth and Hound Doodles.

    Doug and Cathy were absolutely amazing to work with! I had never used good dog before, so I was a little apprehensive, but Doug and Cathy made me feel so comfortable and easily gained my trust. They sent daily updates with pictures up until the day that I got Winnie. They are very prompt in responding and making sure I had all the information I needed to bring her home. When it came time to pick her up, Doug and Cathy were very accommodating with pick ups and meeting at a time that worked with my schedule. They even helped crate train so when I got her, crating her at night was a breeze and super easy which was SO appreciated! Winnie is a beautiful dog and I hope to work with them again in the future!

    I got my mini Aussie Doodle from Doug and Cathy, and the entire experience was wonderful from start to finish. Their communication was great throughout the process—I especially appreciated the regular updates and photos, which made the wait so much more exciting and reassuring. You can tell they genuinely care about their pups and the families they go to. I absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a well-loved and well-raised puppy!
