    Meet Frankie our California Dulce Doidles pup!

    This is Frankie! We picked him up a week before Halloween and he has been the best. He was already starting his potty and crate training and it was easy to continue his growth.

    Brandi

    We are very happy with our new pup, Brandi. Margie was wonderful and thorough and the whole experience was wonderful. I highly recommend this breeder.

    These breeders are the most ethical, kind, caring and loving breeders I have ever seen. Their facility is so nice and clean and great for the dogs with a huge outdoor grassy area and play structure. Their dogs are gorgeous and and their demeanors are amazing. I got a medium labradoodle who is turning out to the best dog ever. She somehow knows English and listens perfectly and is so sweet and gentle to my other dog and my kids. We love her so much. I couldn't recommend these breeders more!

    We needed a companion dog for our 7 yr old English Springer Spaniel. We had been looking for months with no success. With all the breeders here in California it has been a difficult journey finding the same caring, loving home breeder our Springer came from. We found that and more with Margie at California Dulce Doodles in Glendale. One phone call and we knew we were with a loving, caring and committed breeder with high standards and investment in her adoptive families that also wanted to know her pup was in a good forever home. Having had 4 generations of English Springers we were not familiar with Australian Labradoodles. Margie was patient giving us a wealth of information keeping us informed every step of the adoption process. We met our beautiful little Lavender color pup with piercing blue eyes and red nose. It was love at first sight. We brought her home with a basket full of toys, treats and the warmest letter of love and care for this little puppy that could only come from the heart. The whole family was there saying goodbye to this little girl and wishing us well, so very touching. We have only had her for 3 days, each day better and better with a smart, happy, healthy pup adapting to her new home. Margie invested in beginning the training, both potty and behavior that has made this transition seamless. Our little "Dorothy" was comfortable, confident, and ready to blend in with her new home and family. She is such a joy and so easy to continue the potty and response training that Margie started. My wife Clarice and I could not be happier with this incredible little girl and know we will always be in touch with Margie and her family with updates in our little Doodle's life. Thank you so much! We will share our journey with our beautiful California Dulce Doodle, Dorothy. Marc and Clarice Gerstel Spanish Hills, Camarillo, California

    Margie and her family are amazing! My wife and I have been looking all over California for the perfect breeder and California Dulce doodles was just that! Margie is an expert and has a wealth of knowledge and experience about the breed and the lineage in which she is breeding. Yesterday we welcomed home bear and her patience and expertise through the whole going home process was amazing and made the first day and night a breeze! She already begins both crate and potty training, as well as call words so the pups already have an amazing foundation for training. If you are looking for an Australian labradoodle this is your best bet!

    We recently got an Australian Labradoodle from California Dulce Doodle. He is so perfect with pink nose, hazel eyes and white tuxedo stripe on his chest. Exactly what I was looking for so I couldn't resist. Price is a little pricey but you get what you pay for because typical labradoodle usually comes as black nose and eyes. Margie- the owner and her daughter are great! Even after we bought the puppy, we are still in communication. Margie is willing to help and answer any questions that we have. She is so sincere and shows that she really cares about her litters. She even gave us the instruction, a take home basket with things that puppy needs for few days. I would highly recommend this place for 2 things: - puppy is exotic with beautiful gene & look - great customer service

    Margie was so helpful and amazing. She allowed me to find my perfect companion cooper. Highly recommend them, they are super professional and do all the testing on the pups to ensure their health.

    Daisy

    We had an amazing experience with California Dulce Doodles and we are so thrilled to have Daisy as a new member of our family! Margie (and her entire family) were so helpful and accommodating through every step of the process, allowing us to visit several times, choose the right puppy for us, and have our older dog meet the puppy. She provided detailed instructions and information on supplies, as well as the most thoughtful care basket for our new puppy. We cannot say enough good things about our experience and puppy!

    We love our new puppy Sophie! Margie and her family has done an amazing job raising their puppies. She is an amazing caregiver who truly loves her dogs. I highly recommend purchasing an Australian Labradoodle from her. Thank you so much!

    Margie is a kind, loving and dedicated dog momma. She is knowledgeable and patient with first time dog parents and offers great tips and insight about the puppy you are taking home. Margie allowed my son, with bad allergies, to do a meet and greet before committing to a puppy. This was much appreciated and allowed my son time to fall in love with his potential fur sister. Luna is home now and we are all in love! Margie continues to check in and has been very kind with my texts and calls about random care questions.

    The day I picked up Zeb. Took him home with a basket of treats from Margie!

    Margie at California Dulce Doodles is so awesome and helpful! I've always wanted a non-shedding puppy but I was new to the process and never had a puppy as an adult. Margie answered all of my questions and taught me a lot in the process without adding pressure to buy one of her puppies. She is very honest and transparent. The puppy a wanted had a small heart murmur, which is very normal. She called and told me all about it and gave me the opportunity to choose a different puppy. But I loved the one I had chosen, Zeb. He is the best! Sweet, energetic, and very smart. Margie even sent Zeb and I home with a care basket. We've been in communication this week and is always prompt in answering all my questions. I highly recommend California Dulce Doodles!

    See all

    The good: Our puppy is an absolute angel with an incredible temperament. We truly couldn't ask for…read morea better match. She's unbelievably intelligent and obedient; while some of that is environmental, a lot of it clearly comes down to good breeding. Charles is excellent at what he does, and it shows in the quality and disposition of his puppies. The not-so-good: As other reviewers have mentioned, communication around timing can be a bit inconsistent. I completely understand that traffic and unexpected events happen, which is why I scheduled pickup specifically to accommodate his preferred timeframe. Despite knowing I had an evening commitment, he arrived more than 4 hours after the agreed-upon pickup time. A simple heads-up would have made a huge difference so we weren't left waiting around for so long, especially when we ourselves had to make a 1.5 hour long commute to meet him. Final thoughts: Charles truly seems like a wonderful person; I think very highly of him and his work. The only area that leaves something to be desired is punctuality, but otherwise he's fantastic. I would 1,000,000% recommend him!

    First off, I want to say our new dog (Bella) is wonderful and is going to be a great pet. She is 7…read moremonths old and is starting to adjust pretty well to her new home. I want to give Charles credit for breeding/raising a beautiful pup and communicating well enough for us to learn about her and adopt her into our family. Now for the negative. We discovered 20-25 live ticks on Bella within 4 days of picking her up (picked her up on 4/11/20). We found ticks all over her body including her face, rear, and in between the pads on her paws. She had numerous red bite marks from ticks. We also found 2 fleas and discovered a substantial amount of flea dirt in her fur and on the fabric anywhere she had been sitting. We live in San Diego in a condo and she has barely been outside, staying on one area of grass and sidewalks. She very clearly did not pick up the full amount of ticks & fleas within a few days of coming home with us. After a trip to the vet for blood and fecal matter tests, the vet confirmed that she was positive for a parasite - Giardia. We paid quite a bit of money for Bella but it feels more like we rescued her from a shelter than a caring/attentive breeder. And quite honestly a shelter might have checked her more thoroughly for ticks and fleas before the transition to a new owner. Charles has communicated his sympathy and provided suggestions on treatment but the presence of ticks in this quantity on a puppy that he was selling is extremely concerning. I've asked Charles to cover the cost for one month of flea/tick treatment and the parasite treatment but he has not responded to these requests. He has not offered to cover any of her treatment and it's stunning that he wouldn't offer a small refund ($50-$100) for the flea/tick or parasite treatments. I'm hopeful this is a one-time issue but it leaves doubt about the care and attention the parent dogs are receiving. It also creates a lot of uncertainty since Charles is adamant about keeping customers away from the breeding area (his home). Our primary complaint is our new pup Bella was infested with ticks (and a few fleas) within days of adopting her, but we also were annoyed on the day we picked her up. We originally had planned to meet at 2:00 pm but on the morning of the exchange Charles asked if we could move it to 3:00 pm. We had no problem with that. We showed up a few minutes after 3:00 pm but after several texts and phone calls did not see Charles until about 4:30. Charles did call back once at 3:30 to say he was 20 minutes away but did not contact us when he arrived 40 minutes later. We found him, and the puppies, only when we noticed some other families holding puppies across the parking lot. As I said, I'm hopeful Bella's ticks and fleas are a one-time incident and Beachwood Canyon runs a clean, safe breeding operation but it certainly makes me doubt things more. It may be that since he mostly sells puppies he did not think to check her. I would like to think that is the truth BUT please make sure to do your research and ask ample questions.

    We conducted extensive research (over a three year's worth of referrals, articles, friends, family…read moreand online research) and discovered Doodles Los Angeles. Daniel contacted us and asked very specific questions about the Goldendoodle we were looking for. Daniel's expertise allowed us to figure out exactly what we wanted. Daniel maintained communication with us and answered all our questions (there were MANY questions). Daniel gained our trust and we decided to "Reserve" one of their beautiful Goldendoodles. There was no pressure to purchase this specific Goldendoodle. That made us very comfortable meeting this Goldendoodle. Once we met this Goldendoodle, we were convinced he was well cared for, healthy and came from a loving home and environment. This was important for us. We instantly fell in love with Maui and decided on the spot he was a great addition to our family. Maui has adapted well to his new home. This is greatly due to him being socialized and partially potty and crate trained. It's helped out tremendously!! It was a great experience adopting Maui from Doodles Los Angeles! They will certainly get referrals from us!

After the loss of our last golden doodle, we are so grateful to be able to have another bundle of joy in our home. Thank you Doodles LA!

    After landing on a Havanese (after some deep searching for the best breed for myself and my…read morefamily), I found Marti of Harris Havanese in Redondo Beach. Choosing Marti was easily the best choice I could have ever made and I am forever a client of Marti's. I will never look elsewhere when adopting my next Havanese (or a breed that isn't a Havanese, for that matter). I adopted Cookie, formally Cartier, from the "C" litter. From our first phone call in Fall 2024, Marti was attentive to the details of my life and what kind of puppy temperament would be best fit for my lifestyle. She is kind, SO communicative, and the most detail-oriented, loving, and caring person/breeder. Seeing how loved these puppies are far before they are even born was constant reassurance that I made the best choice. I would receive multiple texts/pictures/videos a day when Cookie was born. So anxious and excited to get my puppy, Marti answered all of my questions and was always so reassuring and kind. Cookie came to me loving her crate (this was a game changer), being exposed to so many sights and sounds (her groomer says she is better behaved than adult dogs she's been grooming for years ), and is the epitome of a perfect puppy and I truly owe it all to Marti because she set Cookie (and the rest of her litter) up for complete success. Everyone in my life is so surprised when they hear how young Cookie is because she is truly so well behaved, has a great sense of independence, and loves to just hang with our crew. Thank you to Marti and Gracie for loving these puppies with your whole heart. You both feel like family and I cannot express my gratitude for how you raised little Cookie.

They were not…read morevery far from my home area so I called Marti and set up an appointment to see the remaining two puppies in the litter. All of the puppies were there when I visited the next day. Each one of the puppies were absolutely precious and they were happy and lively. The mother was nursing all of them . I wanted a female and there was 1 male & 1 female left. All the other puppies from the litter were spoken for. I quickly fell in love with Roxie and gave my deposit that night. I had to wait another month until the puppies were old enough to go to their new homes. Marty updated me with photos of my puppy and she also provided me important paperwork to look review. The entire process was very easy. The home where the puppies were living was very clean and orderly. Marti truly has the puppies, best interest and was so sweet and caring and accommodating to me. I had asked if she could keep the puppy for one more week because of my busy work schedule, and she was more than happy to do that. I have never purchased a dog before, but this process was very easy. My puppy is absolutely precious and everybody that meets her is obsessed with her. She is an absolute delight, and very well-behaved. I might add. I highly recommend Harris Havenese if you are thinking about getting a Havanese puppy. Marti made it very clear that she's available for any questions or concerns that I might have. She is very well educated on this breed and I had full confidence in her from the moment I spoke to her on the phone.

After my companion pup of 12 years passed away, I knew I wanted another pup in our lives. After doing research on different types of breeds I fell in love with the miniature Goldendoodle breed. Little did I know that during Covid everyone wanted to adopt a new puppy! Every breeder in California had long waitlists of over a year! I did find breeders out of state but I did not find the idea of shipping a new puppy ideal. I wanted a local breeder with experience whom I can see face to face. Luckily in my exhaustive search I found Tropico Kennels! Lisa was the only breeder I found that had availability and that did not require for me to sign up for a lengthy waitlist and submit a deposit before the puppy was born. I found it ludicrous to pay a large deposit having no idea what the puppy will even look like! I kept checking the website regularly to see when new pups were being born. The website has a lot of useful and valuable information about the process of adopting and welcoming a new Goldendoodle puppy. Once pictures were posted online of the newborn pup I was interested in, I submitted my interest form. Lisa contacted me right away and I paid my deposit. Lisa worked with me in regards of accepted payment forms for deposit and I found her to be very knowledgeable and friendly. The website provided all the details I needed : I knew exactly when my pup would come home, expected weight, parent info, type (F1B, F1BB etc), shedding info, and the pictures of the newborn puppies. I do wish I had more communication from Lisa in terms of pictures and details as the puppy was growing (I was obsessed) but I knew she was busy and in the end I got my perfect dream puppy. When it was time to pick up my baby, I drove to Lisa's beautiful ranch and her husband was friendly and nice when delivering the dog to me. All in all I would recommend this breeder for anyone looking for a gorgeous Goldendoodle pup!

I decide to call and a older woman picks up I say hello good morning, who do I have the pleasure in speaking with? (I ask who it is I'm speaking with so that I can properly greet her ) she responds rudely& with an attitude "well you called me so you should know who I am" I say oh ok I do apologize but am I calling to Tropico kennels? She says yea. And then goes off on a rant that she doesn't answer her person phone often because she receives calls of people always trying to buy her house or sell her stupid shit. I said oh ok I understand but that was very unprofessional of you, I do not wish to purchase a dog off a business who doesn't know how to be professional or answer a phone call like a decent human being. So I then hung up. I would never speak to anyone that way regardless of the circumstances. Learn to be respectful and polite. Completely put me off and definitely will NOT EVER be buying a dog from this place. I'm editing my review because after a couple minutes my mom said she wanted to try and call to get information about the dogs. Because again my mom is interested in buying a puppy. So my mom calls says hello good morning I was wanting to get some information about the golden doodle puppies you might have. the same woman answers and says oh ok sure but can I call you back in a couple of minutes? My mom said sure not a problem and then the woman hung up. LITERALLY 1 minute goes by and I receive a message from this woman (I have attached a photo of the message) saying nice try! I did reply and then blocked her. Never in my life have I ever had an encounter like this. The woman then proceeds to call my mom back (I have attached a photo of the phone call as well that she called back) (as you can see she called back & the call lasted 14sec bc she was a COWARD & hung up) and say to her that she is not going to sell us any dog because I called and hung up on her, and that she should tell her daughter to not be a bitch. The woman proceeds to hang up. So I blocked her on both my mother & I's phone. Completely UNPROFESSIONAL and RUDE! We were only wanting information about the puppies! Which is why my mom insisted on her trying to call because she really wants a puppy. HORRIBLE experience!

When I got him back, his stomach and paws were covered in dried up urine and was clearly not acting like himself. Over the next two days, he had rectal bleeding that continued for two days, refused to eat for three days, and was severely dehydrated. I immediately contacted Ruff Resort to let them know what was happening with my dog, but I never received a response. I ended up taking him to the veterinarian, where he underwent multiple examinations. Between the exams and treatment, I spent over $700 trying to determine what was wrong. The vet did confirm he was severely dehydrated. A two day boarding ultimately cost me $1000. After not hearing back, I called the facility today to ask if they were open because I wanted to speak with someone in person. They told me they had tried to text me. They claimed the first message bounced back but that a second message went through. However, I never received any text on my phone. More importantly, if a customer contacts you to report that their dog became seriously ill after staying at your facility, the appropriate response is to pick up the phone and call them--not rely on text messages, especially if you already know one message failed to deliver. The lack of urgency, communication, and concern was incredibly disappointing. My dog's health and well-being should have been the priority, and instead I was left dealing with a very sick dog, expensive veterinary bills, and no meaningful response from the facility.
