    Maria was so wonderful to work with! She answered our questions, welcomed us for visits, and FaceTime to see our sweet Koda Bear! She made the whole process seamless. She started the feeding and potty training process, which made for an easier transition. You can not go wrong with one from her litter!

    Maria was very responsive and gave us regular updates about our dog. She took wonderful care of the litter and even started crate training for us. It’s clear she loves animals and is not your typical breeder.

    Parti like a Poodle is top notch! Our family (5 kiddos, mom and dad) has been searching for the perfect family addition and we found the sweetest little girl, Dolly. Maria’s communication has been top notch! I asked for a video of her before purchase since they are located about three and a half hours from us. We wanted to make sure she was the perfect match for our family. Maria sent me a video along with pictures. Any questions I had she promptly answered. Maria and her husband kindly met us half way to pick up Dolly and also gave us a sweet little gift bag that included potty pads, dog food, toys, and potty clean up bags along with all of her paperwork. Dolly has fit in perfect with our family. She is potty training great! I couldn’t ask for a puppy with a better temperament and disposition. Dolly loves to play with our little boys and enjoys going on walks with our older children. Maria has checked in to make sure Dolly is doing well and is very helpful with any questions. Dolly had her 2nd set of shots and the veterinarian bragged on how beautiful and healthy she is! Maria has been very caring and genuinely loves and cares for these sweet puppies! Dolly has made the PUR-fect addition to our family! ❤️
