    Cara was wonderful to work with. This was our first puppy and we could immediately tell how much she loves the puppies considering all the work she had already put in to potty train and crate train, which made the transition so easy for us. She had a folder with a lot of information including the schedule that our puppy was which was easy for us to follow and build upon. Our puppy has been a joy and a wonderful addition to our family. I highly recommend Cara and would work with her again in a heartbeat!.

    Cara was great to work with! My family and I were looking for our first dog, and she made it a great first experience for us. She was very responsive and frequently sent videos and photos, as well as thorough updates, which were helpful as a first time puppy owner. Pick up was quick and easy and I felt like we were well prepared to bring our little puppy home. I would recommend Cara to anyone looking for a cockapoo puppy, especially a first time owner!

    Cara was so wonderful to work with. She updated us every week with pictures, what our pup was up to and learning, and was very responsive. Our pup was well socialized. At pickup, my daughter was upset thinking we were trying to replace our dog who had recently passed and Cara was understanding and helpful, making the transition a positive one. If you are looking for a breeder who cares about their pups, you cannot go wrong with Cara.

    Cara was so helpful. We flew to Salt Lake City to pick up our two mini poodles and we couldn’t be more happy. Cara was responsive throughout the process, answered all of our questions and made sure we had everything we needed to bring our fur babies home. In addition, the pups first wellness checks at the vet went great! 10/10 and I would definitely recommend Cara.

    Cara made this adoption process very smooth and always kept us updated with our little guy as this was our first time. She had a full daily schedule planned out and provided us with all of the information needed for our puppy. We are so thankful for Cara for our newest addition to our family.
