Previous Litters

Mountain Doodles has successfully placed many puppies in loving homes. We like to keep in contact with owners of previous litters and enjoy seeing the dogs as they grow up. Here are some photos and comments from new owners of puppies that we raised. They are adorable!

Phoebe --From Chester and Goldie

Hi Arika,

When I first saw a mini goldendoodle, I fell in love with the breed. I spent a lot of time looking for just the right one and found Mountain Doodles. We recieved Phoebe when she was 9 weeks old. Arika kept in touch with me about the puppies health and vet history and sent updated pictures each week until she could be shipped. Phoebe arrived in good health and was excited and happy. She is a beautiful puppy with a playful and loving temperment. We have 4 older boys who she attached to and now that she is potty trained, she sleeps in their beds. She is very smart and learns quickly. We are so delighted with our puppy and feel blessed to have had such a positive experience.

THANK YOU Arika and Mountain Doodles :)

Cody ---From Chester and Goldie

Our first thought when we first saw our new puppy at the airport is "he is perfect"! We fell in love with him from the first moment, and were well bonded by the time we arrived home as he snuggled in our laps and gave us puppy kisses. Everyone stops us whenever we take Cody out - they are all so curious about him and think he is the cutest dog they've seen. Even the vet and their entire staff are quite taken with him, and he is a hit in the waiting room as well! Our daughter received Cody as an early birthday gift for her 5th birthday, and they have really enjoyed each other - her friends of all ages look forward to seeing him. Cody is a rather smart dog, and the trainer tells we will really have to watch him as he might outsmart us (as if he hasn't already!). His housetraining was almost immediate - and he is very responsive to training of all kinds. We love Cody and are so happy we found him by chance on the internet - he is so cute, so loving and already a VIP in our family.

Arika, Cody is a really wonderful dog. Puppyhood can be difficult, but really his misdeeds have been very minor and his behavior easily corrected - and besides, when he looks at you with his sweet fluffy face you can't stay mad! Thank you for sharing your puppy with us - we are thrilled with him.

Hanna--From Chester and Paddy

Arika,
We cannot thank you enough for sending us our baby Hanna. Everyone loves our baby girl and she has brought smiles to many faces. The phrase I hear all the time is “Oh she looks like a stuffed animal teddy bear!!!” Her disposition is so mellow, calm, and sweet. She is very smart and has learned quickly (thanks to crate training) and is close to potty trained at just 11 weeks. She is frisky and playful, but snuggly and cuddly. I am so thankful I found Arika and her puppies on the internet…we cannot imagine our lives without Hanna!
Working with Arika and Mountain Doodles was a fantastic experience. She answered many questions with quick response and was very helpful and informative. The puppy arrived healthy and happy with lots of love to share! Arika sent out weekly emails so we could watch our puppy as she grew and anticipate her arrival. We cannot thank you enough!

Shayna--Chester and Paddy

Arika,
We wanted to thank you again for our mini goldendoodle puppy. She has been such a sweet girl who gets along with everyone. She is also bright and has been easy and fun to train.
It was hard to find a puppy on the internet, but you were great to work with. You always got back to us quickly to answer any questions that we had. And after we sent our deposit, you kept sending updated photos EVERY WEEK until we received her. When you are excited as we were, things like that are important. It also reassured us that we were dealing with very good people.
Sincerely,
Rob and Sue
Minneapolis, MN

Mountain Doodles is an excellent place to get your new furry companion. They were so responsive to my questions and "first-time puppy owner" questions. My puppy is such a darling. She is so smart, which has its drawbacks in that you can't trick her the way you can other dogs. She learned how to go up and down a steep flight of stairs in a few days. She sleeps all through the nights with only a little whine if she needs to pee, and loves traveling in the car in her crate. She isn't afraid of anyone, and wants to play with anything that moves. She loves kids and will snuggle on the couch with me. I found her to be very well-socialized and sooo friendly.

I highly recommend buying from Mountain Doodles!"

Riley ----From Paddy and Chester

Hi Arika,

We just wanted to let you know how adorable Riley is. From the moment we picked her up, we fell in love with her. She is cuddly and spunky and really smart! She plays with everyone, no matter how big or small, and is always gentle. When my kids have friends over she is always the center of attention and loves it. People are constantly stopping us to find out what kind of puppy Riley is. Everyone tells us that she is the cutest thing they have ever seen! It was wonderful working with you. You answered all of our questions and the weekly pictures were awesome. You made us feel comfortable with shipping Riley from so far away.
