We never had a family pet growing up nor one now that I had my own family. I had reservations about…read moregetting a dog but thought it most practical given our lifestyle. Two of my children struggle with pet allergies so I knew getting a dog may have been out of the question. I did over a year of research on the breed that would be most beneficial with those that suffer from allergies and found that either Schnauzer or Doodle would be best. Next I started to research breeders for both but finally landed on just doodles. That's when I came across Sugar Pine Doodles on the internet. I had reservations given all the horror stories you hear about fake breeder websites that prey on people and steal hundreds of dollars. I read though all the information on the website and finally decided to make contact through email. Dale was my first point of contact and he was patient enough to answer all my first time pet owner questions. Just a couple months after my first contact, family and I were on our way to pickup our boy (we didn't know at the time he was going to be a boy). Dale and Jeannine were very patient with us and let us spend as much time during pickup at their home. They walked us through everything from puppy stages, concerns, things to look for, etc... They were very knowledgeable on the breed and made the decision an easy one. Mason just passed his 4th birthday and I can't say enough that he's one of the best decisions we ever made. There was a lot of trial and error, given our rookie status, but after all the patience and training he received, he is the best boy ever! We can't imagine living this life without him. He spends the majority of his time with my oldest daughter in college and has really helped her. He is her ESA. We will definitely be purchasing another pup from Sugar Pine, but just waiting on the right time. I would recommend them a million times over.

Five Stars! Daryl and Gwen from California Shih Tzu Pups are…read moretruly amazing people. We've gotten two puppies from them, and both experiences have been absolutely wonderful. Our first pup came home with us about three years ago--a male, purebred Shih Tzu with the best demeanor you could ask for. He's been a fantastic family dog and has brought us so much joy. This past November, right around Christmas, we welcomed our second puppy--a Havashu female--and she is beyond adorable. She has beautiful markings, an amazing temperament, and fits perfectly into our family. The two dogs get along wonderfully, which speaks volumes about the care and socialization they receive early on. Daryl and Gwen truly go above and beyond to make sure every person is happy with their puppy and that each pup is loved and cared for like a family member. You can feel how much love they pour into what they do--they are incredibly special people. If you're reading this and considering getting a puppy from them, give them a chance.

I am very surprised to hear people's negativity about Colony Breeders. We love them and their dog…read more Our journey of choosing our fur-ever fur baby began in April 2017. We had visited a few golden doodle Breeders online and in person, in state and out of state. We did a lot of extensive research. While Searching the web, up popped Colony Breeders. We called and spoke with Troy. Very friendly and informative. He invited us to come down to Galt , and meet his dogs (the parents) they were expecting a litter soon. We were quite impressed by the cleanliness of the property and how well groomed the dogs were! Troy and Katie we're very informative about their dogs and the whole breeding experience. The puppies were born April 10th 2017. We knew we wanted a female, so that was all we will see every time we visited (which was quite often). We were 2nd pick. I had an idea which one of two I was going to choose, the day came June 3, 2017...I got out the car and started towards the puppies and here she came running towards me... my perfect fur baby!! Our girl Karli, has been a life changer for us.. she is so smart and was potty trained to go to the door (very impressive). Well behaved, loves people, children, everywhere we go she goes and people comment on how well she acts for a 2 1/2 year old puppy.. We can only have awesome things to say about Colony Breeders, Troy and Katie. They can promise you a top quality Golden Doodle.. a Fur-ever fur

It's amazing she's 9 weeks old, and has had no problem transitioning to going to the bathroom outside when I take her (was originally litter box trained).

We are having so much fun with her, but are also so impressed with the great breeding and care that Adrienne and her family provided to create such a wonderful dog. Working with Adrienne ahead of time was so easy, as she answered all my questions and kept me updated through the process. Upon getting Zoey, we got to see her play with her siblings, mom, and dad....the whole bichon family. The way Adrienne's kids cared for and said goodbye to the puppy was also testament of the treatment and love the dogs receive in their early stages. We are SO HAPPY we went through Adrienne for our newest family member! Thank you!!

She purchased them with full AKC registration. After buying them, she turned around and posted them as "rescue puppies" and claimed they came from a puppy mill, which is completely false.

She also resold the puppies for much more than what she paid us. We just want people to be aware of this before doing business with her.
