⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Wonderful Beginning for Our Little Rio We recently brought home our Cavapoo puppy, Rio (who Lily lovingly called Aspen), and I genuinely couldn’t be more grateful for the care and early nurturing he received from Lily. From day one, Rio has been calm, affectionate, curious — and also surprisingly smart for such a young puppy. He settled beautifully into our home and picked up routines faster than we ever expected for a 10 week old puppy. He’s almost fully crate-trained for his nightly sleep, uses his dedicated potty area consistently, and has adapted to his feeding schedule without any fuss. He’s already responding to commands like come, sit, stay, leave it, no, and even enjoys a good game of fetch with impressive focus for his age. Apart from the occasional burst of zoomies (which we love), he’s incredibly well-behaved and shows wonderful impulse control for a puppy still learning his way in the world. A lot of this early confidence and stability absolutely comes from the foundation Lily gave him. You can tell he was raised in an environment filled with love, structure, and thoughtful socialization. Throughout the entire process, Lily was communicative, honest, and patient — especially with us as first-time puppy parents. She answered every small question, shared updates, and made sure we felt supported before and after bringing Rio home. If you’re looking for a breeder who truly cares about her puppies and the families they go to, Lily is exactly that person. Rio’s sweet temperament, good habits, and quick learning are a testament to the wonderful start she gave him. We couldn’t have asked for a better beginning. 🐾💛

110% recommend Lily as a breeder! I was looking for a Cavapoo that would be a good fit to be trained as a psychiatric service dog, and decided to go with Lily’s breeding program as she prioritizes the health and temperament of her dogs. I am so glad I did. Lily has an incredible breeding program where she ensures that her parent dogs are multiple generations clear of common health problems, and prioritizes early neurological stimulation, exposure, and handling of the puppies to give them the best head start! When we received our puppy, it was clear that she was used to being regularly handled and received a lot of love and attention. Early on, I was able to share what I was looking for in a pup, and Lily took every factor into consideration to help me select a puppy that fit exactly what I was looking for. I couldn’t be happier. I selected Goldie (who I named Daisy) and she is a sweet, confident, and calm puppy who is incredibly smart and emotionally in-tune. In choosing her, Lily shared her thorough temperament testing results and walked me through her recommendations for pups that she feel would be a great personality / temperament / size fit. She even does a special test called the tender hearted test where she exhibits distressed emotions and behaviors to see how the puppies will react. This was a key factor in helping me select Goldie, as in this test, she instinctively felt Lily’s emotions and calmly laid on her chest. The entire selection process with Lily was smooth and easy. She is extremely communicative and will share regular photo updates, texts and phone calls on a weekly basis. She also provided many different options to pick up / deliver the pup and even gave us a little puppy starter kit which really helped get us started! In the kit, was high quality Royal Canine puppy food (which we plan to continue with), chew toys, a travel carrier, blanket and comfort toys with litter mates scent, next month’s heart worm preventative medication, and an informational folder with a lot of great information. In addition, our puppy also came microchipped and with free 30 day TruPanion health insurance. Lily genuinely cares about the health and well being of her puppies and making sure they are going to loving, caring homes. I truly cannot recommend Lily enough.
