I was taking my dog to Dave for training. We did 12 weeks of training once a week at a local dog…read morepark. The training with Dave was great, and we learned a lot one‑on‑one. I then started using him for boarding and training while we went out of town. The first time I dropped off Koa, I was happy--kind of. He said she had diarrhea and that she had worms. I took her to the vet, and she had no worms. I was surprised he even said that because she gets flea prevention that includes deworming, and she didn't have diarrhea prior to drop‑off. The second time we dropped her off, we left her with probiotics as recommended by her vet because she gets stressed when she's there. That time, there were no problems. The third time she stayed there, it seemed like Dave had new staff members. No one seemed to know I was dropping her off. I told them that she cannot eat food that they leave out all day because she gets diarrhea. Later, I got a text from Dave saying she had diarrhea again and that she had worms. I tried explaining to Dave that she did not and that I had already spoken to the staff. I had also given the staff her food. When we went to pick her up at the scheduled time, they made my husband wait almost an hour because they wanted to give her a bath, which was not discussed prior to pick‑up. They also confused her with another dog on their Instagram, which made me think that maybe she never had diarrhea and that it might have been another dog. No more. I feel like Dave has taken on too many clients, and this is no longer working. Sorry, Dave, but you are no longer trustworthy. I did, in fact, leave my dog with another trainer while we went on vacation, and she didn't have diarrhea. Amazing.

Took my cane corso puppy for 5 day boarding and training. She was bitten in the head and had a…read morepuncture wound on hear jaw and nose. David the trainer lied about it. But it gets worse. She had what seemed like Krazy glue apparently they tried to stop bleeding. She came back with diarreah and worms too. I took her to the vet and 1200 dollars later, deform, antibiotics, probiotics to fix the diarrhea. But that wasn't it. He promised every day there was a video coming of her training. Never got one, except for a 15 second video of my dog and the male cane corso he was trying to get me to take. He didn't feed her the food I provided (she had 5 full days supply and I showed him her portion. His excuse was that he gave her Kirkland because she ram out! Total BS. I measured the amount o give daily. God only knows. She came home and smelled like shit! Never take tour dogs to this fool. He at first blamed the wound on his shock collars but they don't cause puncture wounds. He later admitted his dog bit her. He dropped her off Never made mention of any issue and lied. Needless to say I don't think she was trained at all. DO NOT ENTRUST YOUR FAMILY PET TO THESE lying weakass excuse of a trainer! Yes I am suing them and hopefully put him out of business!

GENETIC DISORDER ALERT!! We got our beautiful baby girl back…read morein Jan 2020 and she was the absolute perfect addition to our family! Unfortunately we had to put her down a few days ago and our hearts are completely broken. About a month and a half a go we noticed she stopped jumping and barking. We also noticed extreme panting all the time...even when she was just laying down. Her body would be shaking like she was in pain and she started struggling to get up. We took her for blood work and X-rays and everything came back normal. A month went by and the trouble getting up turned into limping, the following day leg dragging and the day after that she was completely paralyzed from both back legs. We took her to the hospital and she was diagnosed with Degenerative Myelopathy which basically paralyzes the dogs over time. The doctor said she was peeing and pooping on herself because her bladder was paralyzed and it was only a matter of time until the disease got to her lungs and then she would suffocate. Our family is completely traumatized by the disease and this experience. Had we known she inherited this genetic disorder we would have thought twice and what's even more upsetting is if these breeders KNOW and leave that information out to make money and leave these families with life long heartbreaks!!!!!!

He seemed depressed and didnt want to eat or drink anything. I also noticed what he was limping severely which never happened when he was with me.

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.

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!

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!

I got the most beautiful puppy from Tropico Kennels! She is the sweetest most cuddly adorable teddy…read morebear! 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'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!
