I researched dog breeds and breeders for almost 2 years before finding Red Maple Doodles. Strangely enough, what brought me to Red Maple Doodles were the absolutely gorgeous photos of Ellie's first litter of red moyen poodle puppies earlier this Spring. At that time, not only did I have little interest in poodles, but all things being equal, they probably would have been very low on my list of potential dogs to add to our family.
That said, I had decided that a golden doodle would be a good choice for our family as a compromise - golden retrievers are my favourite but I felt one would be too large and too sheddy for our smallish home in Vancouver. When I followed the photos of those remarkable red poodles to Lisa's website, imagine my surprise to see that Lisa also bred golden doodles! After a phone conversation with Lisa, the decision was made. She was so warm and so knowledgable. Most of all, she was clearly far more concerned with the health of her dogs and puppies, and the responsibility of finding the best fit for a family, than with just selling puppies. This was clearly her passion.
Once we made our decision put ourselves on the wait list for Lisa's next litter of golden doodles, the fun began. Lisa involved us in every step of the process starting from conception through to the moment we took our Ruby home. Once the puppies were born, Lisa and her incredibly generous family welcomed us into their home to bond with the pups, to learn, and to share laughs. Watching our puppy grow from week to week was a treat I never anticipated and I had so much fun. Now that we have Ruby at home, we couldn't be happier. The time and effort Lisa puts into her dogs and her puppies result in highly socialized, highly trainable, sweet, playful, affectionate puppies. We are thrilled with ours, and I can't wait to follow Lisa's future breeding plans to see what wonderful pets other families will be lucky enough to bring home. I highly, whole-heartedly recommend Lisa and Red Maple Doodles."
