    Charlie is growing taller every day! He’s adjusted to a different food and seems to have less itching and scratching. He has slept through the night since day one!! He’s learning and is easy to train, very smart boy. I’m enjoying him very much.

    I cannot recommend Cathy from North Florida Poodles and Doodles highly enough! From the moment I reached out, I was met with kindness and genuine care. She was incredibly responsive, sharing photos and information promptly, which made the entire process so smooth and reassuring. It was evident that these pups are raised in a loving environment, and their well-being is a top priority. It's clear that Cathy doesn't just breed dogs, she truly loves and nurtures them. If you're looking for a responsible and compassionate breeder, look no further!

    Cathy was so wonderful and responsive to any questions we had before purchasing our Aussie Doodle Anchor. You can tell her and her family take great care of the puppies and work to raise them to be great family dogs. Everything went smoothly for pickup and we truly appreciate the follow up check ins from Cathy over Anchor’s first year. We were so happy with our experience and our sweet pup that we have decided to purchase a mini Aussie Doodle from Cathy just about a year after adding Anchor to our family. I would recommend North Florida Poodles and Doodles to anyone looking for Aussie Doodles or Golden Doodles!

    This is our first puppy and we couldn’t be happier with the experience we’ve had with North Florida Poodles and Doodles. From the first interactions with Cathy, she has been attentive and accommodating. She made sure that we knew everything we needed to when selecting our puppy, provided weekly updates and prepared us for pick up day. Thank you so much Cathy! We are almost ready for a second! :)

    My boyfriend and I worked with Cathy to get our first puppy together and it was a seamless experience! Cathy made me feel comfortable with all the questions I had! She frequently sent updates on our puppy which made the wait to pick up our little guy such a fun process! Our puppy is now 7 months old and he’s healthy, smart, and the sweetest boy. We loved working with Cathy and got super lucky to have her take great care of our little one!

    I truly fell in love with Aussiedoodles after bringing home our first pup. It felt only right to give him a sibling and a friend so they could grow up together. During my search, I came across Cathy, and it turned out to be the best decision I’ve ever made! She was incredibly responsive and just so delightful to work with. I remember being filled with questions, and she was always there to help me out. Her pups are absolutely amazing; our little one is so smart, adapts so well wherever she goes, gets along amazingly well with her siblings, and has the funniest, most adorable personality. Training her was a breeze too! I send Cathy updates now and then, and she is always so happy to see our baby grow🥰
