| Name: | Wrigley (Formerly Sawyer) |
| Breed: | Mini Goldendoodle |
| Client: | Kiersten Schorgl |
| Loc: | Tampa, FL |
I was very wary of any place that I would get my first dog from. I did all the research for local places for Mini Goldendoodles, but stumbled upon Premier Pups, and knew this was the place to get my pup. My one concern of a place too far to drive to was having him in cargo for flights. Wrigley ( Formerly Sawyer), had two flights to get to me. One to Atlanta, and one to Tampa. I was able to track his flight the whole way, a picture was sent to me of him during transfer in Atlanta, and picking him up from cargo was easy & Wrigley was unbothered from the journey. I've heard horror stories of people who got "mini" Goldendoodles, and they're now 90-140 lbs. Wrigley is now a year and a half old, full-grown, and 25 lbs- a typical mini size. He's the most amazing dog, constantly learning, and so cuddly and sweet to every person and dog. The only thing I wish I knew about this breed is how often they need to be groomed. After about 8 months old, it's an every 6 week process, which gets expensive. A small cost to a worthwhile companion though. The one concern I voiced about my process with Premier Pups afterward the whole ordeal was swiftly handled. I received a call from the owner who apologized and corrected the small problem. 10/10 will use for my next puppy.

We were skeptical about purchasing our new puppy online but we are so happy that we decided to go with Premier Pups! Rome (Previously Hayden) has been a very healthy and active pup and our vet said he looked great! They made the process very easy and have guided us the whole way and even after we received our new puppy. Would definitely recommend!

| Name: | Daisy (formerly Goldilocks) |
| Breed: | Mini Goldendoodle |
| Client: | Kathleen Petronis |
| Loc: | Floral Park, NY |
I have been wanting a puppy for quite a while, having been a cat owner all my life. My neighbor recommended Premier Pups. I am so happy to have found them. First they have great follow up and called every week for three weeks to check in to see how Daisy was doing, how I was doing and if I had any questions. Now to Daisy! She is the sweetest little knucklehead with whom I I am so lucky to share my life! Every day she makes me laugh and it so difficult not to spoil her. She is not a destructive puppy although she has gotten her mouth on paper from time to time and brings new meaning to the term scissor teeth! If you are on the fence, jump off, these puppies will add so much to your life!

| Client: | Andrea Grammatico |
| Loc: | Boston, Massachusetts |
Kash (formally Baron), is a beautiful mini golden-doodle puppy that has been home with us for 1 week. He is the most lovable, playful and happy puppy. Adopting him through premier pups was seamless from the start, the entire team of staff are extremely tentative and helpful. I would recommend premier pups to anyone looking to adopt a puppy!!! We love Kash and cannot imagine life without him.

| Name: | Myla (her name was Lisa when we got her) |
| Breed: | Mini Goldendoodle |
| Client: | Ashley Martonik |
| Loc: | Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania |
This is Myla. We got her at the end of July and she was the perfect dog for us. Premier pups did a wonderful job with her. They got her all up on shots, took care of her and made sure she was healthy to come home. Myla is the best dog we have ever owned thanks to premier pups. They were kind enough to send us pictures of her, facetime us, and they met us halfway to give her to us. I could tell they truly care for each of the pups they breed and give them unconditional love. I HIGHLY recommend premier pups for your choice of a breeder. Thank you premier pups for giving us the best dog ever!

We got LouLou at the beginning of May and have loved her since the minute we got her! She is the biggest bundle of joy and brings us all so much happiness. Premier Pups was so wonderful through the entire process, and they answered all of the (many) questions we had! We couldn’t be happier!

| Client: | Adam Stephens |
| Loc: | Portland, OR |
I had been looking for a goldendoodle for months. I wanted a girl but fell in love with my boys sweet face as soon as I saw him on the website. Him and his sister (boxer names Olive) are the lights of my life. He has the best temperament. He goes to the office with me and my colleagues cannot believe what a calm and laid back personality he has. He has been the easiest dog to train ever. The Premier team was great throughout the process and the flight experience was completed without a hitch. I will definitely go back to Premier when I'm ready for another one.
