We had such an amazing experience with the Bravo family! From the moment we met Wanda, we knew she…read morewas the perfect fit for our family. The Bravos were incredibly kind, accommodating, and truly cared about making the transition as smooth as possible for both us and Wanda. They even went above and beyond by letting us borrow a cage while we were in between setups, which made things so much easier. It's clear how much love and attention they give their dogs, and knowledgeable about their dog breed. We absolutely adore her and are so grateful to the Bravo family for bringing her into our lives. We couldn't recommend them more and tell everyone that asks hands down the best!

We recently welcomed a beautiful Goldendoodle puppy from California Dulce Goldendoodles, and we…read morecouldn't be happier with our experience. Margie is incredibly caring, honest, ethical, and knowledgeable. It's clear that her puppies are raised with lots of love, attention, and excellent care. Our puppy came home healthy, happy, and well-socialized. As first-time puppy owners, we especially appreciated how much time Margie spent educating us about puppy care, feeding, and the transition home. She was always patient, responsive, and supportive. The adoption process was smooth, transparent, and stress-free, and she was very accommodating throughout. A wonderful bonus was the complimentary 30-day emergency pet insurance coverage. Margie also owns J'adore Pet Salon in Glendale, which is great for grooming, and offers boarding and dog-sitting services as well. If you're looking for a trustworthy breeder who genuinely loves her dogs and stands behind her puppies, we highly recommend Margie and California Dulce Goldendoodles!

My boyfriend and I recently moved to the area and brought home our first puppy, so finding this little shop so close to home has been such a gem. I love knowing I have somewhere nearby where I can trust the products and get knowledgeable advice whenever I need it. I'm so happy we found Love Pets and feel so good knowing I'm giving my puppy the best ingredients possible. Such a sweet local shop with wonderful people behind it. We will absolutely be regulars!

I'm helping my mom do research because she's wanting a golden doodle pup, I see this place was in…read morethe area and good reviews. 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!

"I know the type of color and coat I'd like. Does the puppy I selected fit what I'd like?" and "might you have a photo of what he would likely look like fully grown?". I get a reply with her daughters Venmo info and nothing else I kindly asked again about my questions (thinking maybe she didn't see that part) and I get a dismissive reply saying she's too busy and suggests I find another breeder. Every other breeder I've reached out to who are surely equally as busy as Lisa have had absolutely no problem answering a few simple questions before taking my money because they want you to be happy with your puppy. As that is best for the pup and the owner. Her pups are $1800 more than almost any other breeder in the country. I'm not sure why, but it's definitely not because of their outstanding customer service. 2 stars instead of 1 star because she was at least clear that she won't communicate with you until you pay up. Lisa, I took your advice and have placed a deposit with another breeder.

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.

About a year ago, my husband and I became interested in adopting one of the dogs listed as…read moreavailable for adoption. I submitted an application online but never received a response or any follow-up regarding my application. Despite this, we decided to make the trip to PetsSmart in Westlake Village/ Agoura Hills because we were genuinely interested in the dog. We drove several hours and arrived very early, hoping to speak with the rescue before other potential adopters arrived. When we arrived, Emily and her team were getting the dogs out of the van. I approached Emily and asked about the dog we were interested in. Unfortunately, her response and overall approach came across as very unwelcoming and rude. She told us that another family was driving four hours to see the dog and that the dog would no longer be available. If a dog already has a family coming to meet them and and may no longer be available, why is the dog still being advertised as available on their website and social media? One of the volunteers informed Emily that we had also driven several hours to meet the dog and that we had previously submitted an application. It was only after this that Emily approached us and became willing to speak with us. The entire experience left me feeling that the adoption process could be much more organized and transparent. There should be better communication with applicants, particularly when multiple families are interested in the same dog. I also want to be honest about how the interaction made me feel. I left with the impression that we were treated differently, and I couldn't help but wonder whether race or ethnicity played a role in how we were treated. Looking at the organization's social media, I also noticed that the majority of the families featured as adopters appeared to be non-people of color. I hope the organization takes this feedback seriously and considers improving both its communication with applicants and the way potential adopters are treated.
