We purchased 'Bentley' now known as Duke. He is very sweet and has been a great puppy so far. As far as the puppy we are happy. I was very hesitant with the process at first and was hoping to have a great experience as it was different than going to a breeder directly. I do not feel the experience I received is what they promote on their website. I did not feel reassured throughout and actually was met with frustration from the manager when I asked questions. I am not sure I would go through Premiere Pups again. I was hoping for more of a personal experience as they promote on the site.

Say Hello to Paxton, the amazing mini Goldendoodle. Paxton is assimilating quite well in his new environment and doesn't seem to mind the nice sunny weather of Miami FL! A special thanks to Premier Pups for ensuring our adoption of Pax (and his subsequent travel to Miami) was as smooth as possible. We've adopted wonderful pets before but this a first, in terms of travel to his new home. Premier Pups was so patient, knowledgeable and understanding with the many questions we had along the way. We are so excited to have such a new love in our life! Ok, Pax is stating that he'd like to go practice some more of that 'potty training' stuff!

We got Zoe (formerly Michelle) a week ago when we picked her up at the airport. She has been adapting very well and has been spoiled since then! Premierpups did an excellent job, we are very pleased with the follow up and all the information provided. As of today, We have been camping for three days and so many people are stoping us in the street to ask question about Zoe, we have been referring premierpups to them.

I could not have loved my experience with PP any better! They walked me through the entire experience, regular calls, and also follow-ups after Bentley came home to me. Bentley arrived at our home on Sept. 13 and was born on July 10. He is full of energy and very intelligent. He quickly became our entire life and our son as well as a grandson. Highly recommend a Mini Goldendoodle and PP as a way to get to your next bundle of joy! If your pup is from this litter, would love to hear from you as well! :)

| Name: | George Montego Ramirez |
| Breed: | Mini Goldendoodle |
| Client: | Jim & Angie |
| Loc: | Phoenix, AZ |
Today, George Montego Ramirez is 1 year old. At 8 weeks, he was less than 5 pounds, and we fed him karo syrup and 1 kibble at a time by hand. He was and still is too happy to eat when he could be playing instead. Today, he's around 11 pounds of pure fun. He loves toys, running for joy, and watching tv. He knows every commercial with a dog in it and barks at them every time. He even knows the intro to his favorites and will run from the next room over to bark at his best good commercial dog friends. Our Georgie has been so much fun, so we got him a sister. We bought another mini G from Premier, and she is also just amazing. Both of them are perfect, and we will never forget picking them up at the airport. Premier does a fantastic job of setting you and your puppy up for health and happiness. The process is laid out for you, so even if you've never been through the puppy stage, you can trust Premier knows how to do it well.

I purchased Harley (formerly known as Brooke) on 8/22/2018. The adoption went very smoothly and to my surprise we received her at the airport one day later on 8/23. It’s now been a week and Premier Pups has kept in touch every other day to be sure that she was eating well and was she making herself at home. I couldn’t be more happy with my Premier Pups experience from beginning to end!

Oakley is almost six months old now! He has grown like a weed and is healthy and active. He's still exhausting our older puppy Cooper. He just got his first hair cut a few weeks ago. He's a joy to have and I'm so glad we went through premier pups back in may. ????
