It's taken me several months to share my experience but I can't delay it any longer after reading the article at the end of this post. Double R Doodles is a heartless puppy mill--plain and simple. They knowingly have Parvo in their kennels which they continue to deny, as they breed puppies at an even more rapid rate. Our little guy started showing symptoms of Parvo within hours of leaving their kennel. When we inquired about this, they assured us that lethargy, vomiting, yellow foul-smelling diarrhea and even blood is "perfectly normal" due to the stress. They also told us to make sure we gave him the "probiotics" in an unlabeled syringe for the journey home which happened to be cross-country. We found this a bit odd, but since it was our first puppy, reluctantly took their word for it. We stopped in Missouri to visit a family member who works in a veterinary clinic who immediately knew our puppy had Parvo. We took him into the clinic but the vet recommended delaying the Parvo test due to the high likelihood of getting a false positive since he had just received the vaccine. The vet did however confirm 2 other infections via fecal analysis. She also looked at his vaccination record and was very concerned about the number of vaccines he had received in a short time. The vet gave us an at-home (aka on-the-road) Parvo protocol to follow just in case. We contacted Double R Doodles to inform them of the infections and that Parvo had not been ruled out yet. They immediately started denying that he had any symptoms before leaving and again told us it was all "stress." We then continued on our journey home stopping often to administer medications and subcutaneous fluids on the side of the road since our pup still wouldn't eat or drink. Meanwhile he continued to worsen to the point that he could no longer control his bodily functions or even keep his head up. We finally admitted him into an animal hospital in Amarillo, TX where he tested positive for Parvo. We said our goodbyes as they put him into quarantine but hoped we would see him again. At this point, we contacted Double R Doodles again to inform them of the situation. They informed us that their policy is to cover 1/2 the vet bills up to the cost of the puppy. Let's just say that this was nowhere even close to the thousands of dollars necessary to save the little guy's life. When we expressed our disappointment with this, their response was "We would have advised to put the puppy down... We would have offered to replace the puppy." After a week of intensive therapy and commuting back and forth between AZ and TX, our little guy did what none of the staff in the animal hospital could believe--he pulled through. Upon picking him up, the vet said "I didn't want to tell you this when you dropped him off, but I gave him a 2% chance of survival that night. I deal with Parvo all the time and this is the worst case I've ever seen in over 10 years of practice." Upon further research, we found other families through social media who had been affected. The most disturbing was a man who got his children a Christmas puppy which they traumatically lost by New Years. The more we uncovered, the more we wanted so badly to pursue legal action and "take them down" to save others from this horrific experience. However, between working, starting two businesses, moving, and nursing a sick puppy back to health... Life simply got in the way. We also heard they had been reported previously to the Dept of Agriculture but no action was taken. As a physician, I am absolutely appalled with the inhumane behavior that Double R Doodles has shown. If only one person reads this, it's worth it to me, but I truly hope they will get shut down like they deserve. Here's that article I referred to above: https://patch.com/illinois/plainfield/horrible-hundred-report-includes-2-puppy-mills-illinois?fbclid=IwAR3NfmNJ7LpebyL13meAGvEsV2K0XwuOlq4Ji8CtEdbJUwabo0svS7kWm4s read more

Phone contact before pick up was wonderful. Arrival at Double R Doodles anything but wonderful. The office where we made contact smelled horrible and was filthy. The two puppies were listless and smelled foul with dry feces on their fur. Upon arrival home we took the puppies to my vet, both had Giardia and needed medication. I contacted Double R Doodles to let them know I was disappointed in the condition of both puppies at pick up. I recieved a less than friendly email response from Double R Doodles. After that Double R would no longer responded to my attempts to contact them. One of the two pups has an appointment to get checked for hip dysplasia . She just turned one and is limping after walks and has difficulty walking after rest. I would highly recommend looking for a Doodle elsewhere. read more

So we were a little unsure about purchasing a dog online. But our experience with double r doodles was beyond great! They were incredibly informative, accessible and friendly! We got our little goose at nine weeks but ordered him when he was a bout a month old. They did a great job of sending pictures and keeping us updated, we personally got a German Shepherd Aussie doodle and couldn't be happier! He came out of the crate with nothing but love and gets along with our big dog. Writing this review so if you decide to go the way we did then you are a little more sure about this breeder. Really no complaints and we love our little puppy! Compared to where we live in Southern California the prices were incredibly competitive especially for a healthy happy doodle! Worth every penny! read more

We picked up our 2nd miniature Aussiedoodle from Double R Doodles. Our oldest AD, from a different beeder, was healthy with no issues. Our new puppy had kennel cough, round worms and coccidia upon her arrival. Our vet bills are already over $200 and our puppy is not yet healthy. We return to the vet in two weeks for more meds and retesting. Double R Doodles customer service was good upfront but I would not recommend them if you are looking for a healthy puppy. read more

Giardia and kennel cough in the first week home. My mother purchased a dog from this mill and has already had 2 trips to the vet in the 7 days she has had possession of the pup. Beware. Try as I may to talk my mom out of purchasing from this "breeder", she bought an adorable pup from this place and has already spent a few hundred dollars to treat all the infections she came with... Adopt!! Save money and save a life! My 2 amazing SPCA puppies have been healthy and happy for 5 years! read more

Our daughter recently purchased an Aussie Doodle from Double R Doodles. This adorable little pup was delivered, so there were no warning signs as to the condition of the breeding facility. Another review stated that it was less than clean. The puppy got sick on the ride home. She had a cough, so we took her into the emergency vet clinic. They diagnosed kennel cough. Upon her first visit to her regular Vet, she tested positive for a bad case of giardia. She also tested positive for coccidia. Thankfully, Double R Doodles did the responsible thing and reimbursed the cost of the medications, though none of the resulting Vet fees. I'm sure it's tough to keep this kind of operation 100% free of problems, and Double R does seem to care about their dogs and customers. It's probably a good idea to visit before making a purchase, then if there are any warning signs you can change your mind. We hope that these medical issues will get cleared up, and this puppy has a healthy, happy life. James read more

PARVOVIRUS ALERT!!!!! PARVOVIRUS ALERT!!! We picked up a puppy from this place dec. 22, 2018. He threw up on way home and had diarrhea. They said nerves, we figured car sick too. Long story short, they found out on 12/25 that another puppy had parvo. You would think that they would have called us to say take your puppy in to get checked but no. We were in almost daily contact and they never said a word. We had to put our poor puppy down on 12/30. The lack of empathy from them was something I have never experienced before. From what I understand they had several infected. It can take years to get rid of the parvo virus. I cannot even get another puppy until I figure out how to sterilize my yard. This is just a pay check for them. Please please think twice. I would hate for another family to go through what we did. Putting down a sick older dog is hard enough, try making that decision w a 91/2 week old puppy. This breeder should be ashamed of themselves and their actions. I wish I could give them a negative star rating. Ps: they just heard an old voice mail and called me and when I told he girl who I was she didn't even say sorry for what you went through. She hung up on me And wouldn't answer the phone when I called back. Karma is all I can say. read more

I purchased a toy Aussiedoodle from Double R Doodles in July 2019. When we had arrived at Double R we were, then, informed that our pup was the runt of the litter and that she would need water given to her through a syringe and a nutritional paste given to her every so often. We did like we were told and the following morning we woke up and our pup was lifeless. She had no heartbeat, wasn't breathing, her jaw was locked, and was only making small, barely audible, grunts. My mother in law gave her CPR and we got her heartbeat going and rushed her to an emergency vet. Before we knew the diagnosis, I emailed Double R and to this day I haven't gotten an answer. She was diagnosed with anemia, anxiety, hypoglycemia, and coccidia. Coccidia is highly contagious and is caught through infected fecal. She has just gotten over the coccidia but is still on medication for it. Our pup spent 70 hours at the emergency vet. We paid $950 for her and then $1,490 in vet bills the following day. Still no word from Double R. The emergency vet we took her to said it all stems from poor living conditions and malnutrition. We were told she was bullied from the bowl, but not until we got there. This is a horror story and was are still traumatized. Our pup is now 16 weeks old and opens her mouth every time she sees a syringe. We are still in love with her and are so thankful we got her out of that situation. We wish we could've taken all the pups away now. Do your research and know your breeder. This isn't okay. read more
