Spencer is now 3 months old and doing quite well. He is fully potty trained and is learning to walk on a loose leash and sit, stay and come. He is a terrific addition to our family! We enjoy his energy, super sweet loving behavior and good nature. Spencer has been one of the best dogs we have owned. We are thrilled with Premier Pups support and service. We would not have found Spencer if it wasn't for such a terrific service. Thank you!

Everyone meet Cali, formerly Brandi! After having our human baby, we knew she’d want a companion. She loves dogs so we started researching and quickly came to the conclusion a Mini Goldendoodle was the best choice! These two are inseparable! Cali will not leave our 6 month olds side. Thank you Premier Pups!

We searched for a mini Goldendoodle for over a year and could never find one in a shelter. I was scared to buy a dog online, never seeing it or where it came from. But I kept coming back to Premier’s website every day. I fell in love with this girl who was named Scarlett, renamed Talia. We picked her up at 9 weeks, weighing 3 lbs 8 oz. She is 5 months now, weighing 9 lbs, and is the absolute joy of our home. She is so loving, playful and easy to train. We bell trained her and she is for the most part potty trained....except when someone comes to the house and she is so excited to see them she just can’t contain it!! She has learned to sit, stay, paw and we are working now on lay down. We have never had a dog before so we were so anxious, but Premier made it easy for us. Talia is a healthy and growing mini who we are simply swooned over.

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.

We adopted Simba from premier pups last August and he is the best pup we could have asked for as first time dog owners. He is so full of playful and sweet. He was potty trained in under a month and we are currently in the process of house training him. He picked up on training words (sit, down, wait, paw) within a few days as well. I would highly recommend this breed and premier pups!

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.

Was definitely nervous ordering a dog online... but it was the best decision I ever made in my life! Had been dreaming of a goldendoodle for years and my Jordy boy is so much better than I ever could have imagined. He is the sweetest little boy with the most beautiful coat I have ever seen! Being an F1 there was a chance he would shed, but he hasn’t shed at all! Premier pups was amazing from start to finish. They let me FaceTime him before making a decision and that did me in! If I ever were to get Jordy a sibling it would absolutely be from premier pups.

My aunt purchased a goldendoodle from premierpups about 10 months ago. Although after losing our 13 year old yorkie 6 months ago I never thought I'd buy another dog. I fell in love with my aunt's dog and reached out to premier pups. The staff was amazing; emailing back quickly, FaceTime with our family, putting our new baby on a plane. When she arrived we were thrilled! She was happy, healthy, and ready to play! The team at premier pups answered all questions I had and still send emails to check up on us. I couldn't be more pleased!
