    We're so thankful to have found Signature Doodles after a long search for our forever companion, Millie. We noticed right away that Alisa genuinely cares about every puppy; she has a fun and cozy set up for the pooches at their home and sticks to a routine that makes it helpful for the new puppy parents. Alisa has also been a constant source of support from the beginning: extremely responsive. It was so nice meeting Alisa and her daughter, Bre, in person when meeting our sweet baby girl and bringing her home with a generous care package that Signature Doodles provides. It was such a wonderful experience...you will not regret choosing this breeder. We are absolutely in love with our pup...and we’re wishing everyone the same amazing journey in finding their new furry family member!

    Once we found our new puppy through Good Dog, the Breeder, Alisa, was fantastic at navigating us through the process. She was not only attentive to our questions, but she provided us proactive advice. We also appreciated receiving regular photos and videos of our puppy which increased our excitement. Our puppy is now a year and half and we love the energy and disposition of her. We highly recommend getting a puppy through Good Dog and Signature Doodles.

    I had a wonderful experience with Alisa from start to finish. She provided me with all of the links so that I could pre order food to make the transition for my puppy as smooth as possible. We were in instant love with our Otis and would highly recommend this breeder. You can tell they worked on training. We have had zero accidents in the house it has been amazing.
