I purchased my fur baby from this breeder in 2020. My pup ended up going into organ failure at the age of 4 and sadly passed away recently at the age of 5 from kidney failure, liver disease, and liver shunts. We went to multiple doctors over several months, in and out of the ER, and the doctors we saw all had the same opinion: that my dog must have been born with an abnormality. This breeder is a family business and changed their name to Hall Ranch Bordoodles / Emerald Bordoodles. I reached out to them when my pup passed since they raised my dog until he was 8 weeks old and they have a 10 year health guarantee (my dog died at 5 years of age from organ failure). The health guarantee didn't matter since I didn't contact them when my pup was alive going into organ failure. Emerald Bordoodles (Tia) responded to my initial email with what seemed to be kindness and suggested a discount on my future puppy if I sent them vaccination records and annual visits for them to review, which I did. It's been almost 2 months and I have followed up a few times which they have ignored and ghosted me. Very unethical and unprofessional. I initially thought it would be nice to get another pup in the future from where my fur baby came from if the future pup was healthy, but I will never work with this breeder again. There's nothing they can do to bring my sweet pup back to life and I will never get over the way they treated me after losing my dog that they sold me. read more

Mountain Rose was easy to deal with and communicated with us all through the process of adopting our sweet Cali. She is an older puppy (10 months) with training. She knows all of her basic commands and is great in the house. Adopters do need to understand that puppies need practice and relationship building to keep up their skills. I couldn't be happier with my pup or our experience with Mountain Rose. read more

Mountain Rose Bordoodles - Cali - Pet Breeders Near Me - Portage, Utah

Our Vali is such a wonderful, sweet and level-headed puppy. She's been with us for a week, and we can't get over how amazing her temperament is, so well behaved and easy to redirect. She also did the puppy obedience training and came home knowing the basic commands, kennel trained and pretty much house trained. And of course, she's such a pretty pup with her plush softest coat, cuteness overload! Thank you so much, Mountain Rose!! read more

Awful experience with Mountain Rose. We purchased a trained 8 month old sheepadoodle. Unfortunately she bit 3 different people who visited my home. We had to send her back to the breeder who I had to beg them to cover the travel costs back. Despite declaration after declaration that the puppy - Truly - was loving and well trained, they blamed me - a single mom with two kids - for not having the skills to stop this. They implied it was because there was not a man in my home as well - no "alpha" For the safety of my kids I sent her back. They refused to acknowledge if she had experienced some trauma and refused to refund me any of the costs. I don't know if she was rehomed. Or what happened to her. Deeply disappointing and the treatment by the breeder and her father in law was insulting. read more

Unfortunately I feel like we were scammed by Mountain Rose Sheepadoodles/Bordoodles. We purchased a puppy from them and paid the extra $2,400 for training. When we brought her home, however, it was clear she was not trained very well. When I would try to contact the company to ask about the training, I would only hear "that's not what she did with us." They refused to take her back for additional training. Our puppy also started to poop uncontrollably the first few days in the house. I asked the breeder about this, but again only heard, "she never did this with us." I finally got a poop sample studied and it was found that she had Giardia. I have taken her to her $90 haircuts, but she bites the groomer. She bites the kids, she bites me. The groomer suggested I take her to some dog training. I told her we had already spent all of our savings on training already. She told me, "I think you got scammed." If I knew what I know now, I would have never gone through the company/breeder. read more

Never get a dog from Mountain Rose Bordoodles. We had a horrible experience. They are an unethical company that doesn't care for either their customers or their dogs. They are quick to communicate up until the point at which they receive your deposit. After that, communication completely stops. This affected many aspects of getting our dog, the most egregious of which was that we paid for extra training, and they trained the wrong dog, keeping our Zuki for three extra weeks with him receiving no training at all during this time. It's bad enough to make such an incompetent mistake, but the way we found out made it far worse: they didn't even have the decency to call us, and only wrote us a letter that was placed in our welcome pack that we found out about after we picked up our puppy from the airport and had taken him home (see the letter below). They did refund our money for the training only - as no training was done - but no further compensation was given. Despite multiple requests for a follow-up call, we didn't hear back from them at all - so we know nothing about the environment in which Zuki was raised, how he was fed, what kind of kibble he ate, where he slept, his personality, how he was socialized, etc. making us go in completely blind with training him from scratch. We also obviously did not prepare to be training our puppy from scratch, so didn't even have the benefit of the additional preparation. In addition, receiving our puppy at 13 weeks with very little training or socialization really limited the socialization window for us, harming Zuki in the long-run: most research shows the window to socialize a puppy to new environments and experiences goes until they're 12 weeks (or 16 weeks at most). Zuki went from a farm in Utah to a townhouse in Washington DC with a very different environment so having some of this background would have been critical to determine where to start socializing and training him (to ensure we could maximize what little window we had left if any). Imagine finding out they didn't train your dog through a letter after he was already home, and then not even having the decency to get on the phone and answer some basic questions or ask how Zuki is doing. While we love Zuki, it definitely soured what should have been one of the most exciting experiences in any dog parents' lives - the day their dog comes home. And to ensure we both were around to train and socialize Zuki, my husband had to cancel his Thanksgiving travel plans to visit family, breaking a decades-long tradition due to Mountain Rose's error and lack of communication. I wish that were the end of this review, but there are other aspects of getting Zuki that were also entirely unacceptable. When we saw Zuki on their website, they took over two weeks to respond to basic questions about his personality so that we could decide whether or not he would be a good fit for our lifestyle, and then gave us a day to decide whether we would want to adopt him or not. Given their long delay, Zuki's training - or what should have been his training - started later than planned. As part of the training, we were supposed to receive a report card at the end of each week as part of our signed contract; to receive this report card, we would have to email and call them several times, and then receive it 3-4 days later than expected, with no apology. Their internal communication was also horrible - with differing responses from Richard, the owner, to the admin staff, making it extremely difficult to prepare, know when he would be coming home, etc. I should also say that the biggest communication breakdown was with Richard, the owner and the supposed trainer of our dog. If the head of this facility can be so unethical, imagine how he leads his team. Meanwhile, they have been busy expanding their operations into breeding sheepadoodles, managing their training program, possibility selling beef dog treats, etc. while they cannot even manage the core of their business. I would never recommend anyone get a dog from Mountain Rose. read more

Frustrating and challenging at times but great dogs are for sale here. Beware of the intelligence of the combined breeds. Much like raising children, staying ahead of their mischief is paramount to good parenting. Bordoodles may be even smarter than your children! My baby girl will be 4 months old soon. Sit, stay, no, come, & good girl are solid as well as knowing her name. Outside means playtime and sometimes P. It's a work in progress. She is loyal and attentive, but she seems to suffer from separation anxiety. She's growing out of it, day by day. I love that she is part of my wolf pack. read more

Our pup is now 7 months and we love him so much but the overall process of adopting through Mountain Rose Bordoodles often felt very difficult and frustrating. Mountain Rose's response times ranged from two hours to three weeks. It unfortunately was usually closer to the latter and required multiple inquiries. Our pup also went through their three week training program and we can't say we recommend it. When we received the graduation video, it was clear our trainer had difficulty demonstrating that our pup had the promised skills and the results left much to be desired. Our trainer also had difficulty coordinating pickup. We confirmed a date/time in Utah and our family drove from out of state. During the pick up time, we texted our trainer we had arrived at the location only to receive a text stating he was in Reno, Nevada dropping off another puppy. We received no calls or texts from him previously that he would be unable to drop off our puppy at the scheduled time/place. For the next hour, we then had to re-coordinate with him while he was on the plane for his son to bring our pup. Prior to this, we were so excited to pick up our pup but this incident soured the experience. We ran into additional issues which were all eventually addressed by Mountain Rose (through multiple inquiries) including Giardia, missing microchip, and an incomplete vaccination record. Our pup is a great boy and we love him but working with Mountain Rose was truly exhausting. read more
