The only reason I am giving this is 1 is because we love our dog so much and I felt as though I have saved him from a puppy mill. Denise is a scam. I cannot even believe she has not shut down yet. I sent emails and called the number numerous times and she never got back to me. Finally, one Sunday she miraculously picked up her phone. I asked her I was interested in a goldendoodle and she said well you are in luck. We have a mini doodle you can pick up today if you would like. I was completely shocked because aren't there long waits for these dogs? I explained to her we were not in the market for a mini and wanted a standard. She then told me in a few weeks the dog would be ready to go home. I was so excited that there was actually a puppy available. She said she would call me back in a week or so. Never got a phone call back so I called Denise back. She seemed annoyed I was asking her how old the puppy was and when I could pick him up because I didn't want a call the night before saying he was ready. NOBODY DOES THAT, but she would!!!! Finally after lots of back and forth she said we could go to her "country home" (which was not pretty like her website, it looked run down and not sure if she even lives there) and look at the dogs available. We get there and she is not even there. It is her assistant Lisa. She was nice but seemed like she did not have exact answers. She showed us some puppies then was holding another one saying oh he's ready to go home too but he is 5200 because of his size and how cute he is!!! WHAT??? SO weird. We pick out our adorable Cosmo and Lisa tells us he is $4,200 when in fact I put a $500 deposit down and Denise said he was $4,000 on the phone. Again another LIE. The place looked sketchy, I don't understand how she has dogs available at all times, and she lies. Her website looks amazing and that is what we went by. Denise and her "breeding company" needs to be reexamined. I do not understand how someone like this can be in business still. I am writing this on Yelp because she will delete all negative responses on facebook. PLEASE PLEASE do your research and don't give her another ounce of money. She is not doing this correctly and I highly recommend you do your research. Look up her reviews on other sites besides her webpage and facebook. You will notice many people feel like me. I pray that this dishonesty and poor treatment of over breeding stops for the sake of these dogs. It makes me sick. read more

Our experience with Denise and her top-of-the-line American Goldendoodles could not have been more spectacular. in addition to feeding all of her dogs home cooked food from organically-grown ingredients purchased from local farmers markets, Denise prepares all of her puppies for utmost self-confidence and success in its new home through the uniquely effective playpen and crate training she has perfected, where the environment for all all American Goldendoodle puppies to grow strong consists of a spacious play pen with crate attached to it, allowing pups necessary freedom and range to roam or nap at their choiice -- while protected from overwhelming and powerful emotions that could result from being left to roam the house (Picture yourself walking alone through an empty stadium. Due to Denise's insightful and self-confidence affirming playpen and crate method, American Goldendoodles are never subjected to this.) Further, by replicating the "den" all dogs have imprinted in their DNA at time of birth since time immemorial, the playpen and crate method Denise has perfected over her forty-five years experience since founding American Goldendoodles places the new puppy owner far ahead of the house-training curve before they even get their new goldendoodle to its new forever home, since this method leverages a dog of any age's native instinct to "not foul the den." As result, and as real-life example, at one and one-half years of age, our goldendoodle Gilda, from American Goldendoodle has had less than five fecal accidents in the home since we brought her home -- all during her first six months as our pride and joy. In a pinch, she might use the washable pee pad we routinely leave available for her, per the pre-homing education American Godlendoodlles provides new doodlers such as us, which has us shouting from the rooftops about the wonders of puppy ownership to be found in Denise's simple yet time-tested and nuanced approach at American Goldendoodles. By all measures, Denise at American Goldendoodles gets an A+++++ from us! read more

On October 10th I spoke to Denise of American Goldendoodles and explained to her that my best friend, Daisy of almost 12 years passed away unexpectedly and we also had a year old mini doodle, named Winni that needed a new sister. Denise was so wonderful and compassionate and told me she had 2 beautiful girls available and my husband and one of our children jumped in the car and off we went to Sutton, MA. We met Denise's assistant, Tina who was amazing and so knowledgeable. We met both females that were so beautiful and sweet and we decided on our Ellie girl. As Denise puts it, her dogs are the "Christie Brinkley of dogs" and she is spot on with that comment as they're absolutely gorgeous dogs. As we were bonding with Ellie we were able to meet Ellie's mom which she was soooo sweet and gave Ellie a little kiss (almost made me cry) and also met Ellie's dad and what a sweet boy he was. Tina and Denise were so amazing and so informative with giving us all the information we needed for Ellie. Denise's home is spectacular with a country setting, and the inside of her home is even more spectacular. Her home is pristine and for myself being a lover of interior design, I was able to see her gorgeous gourmet kitchen which is magazine worthy. Denise's passion and love of her dogs is so apparent when you go to her home. I can't say enough amazing things about our whole experience. Our Ellie girl is so loving and cuddly and has the best temperament and fits in to our family like a glove. It's been just a month having her as a part of our family and we love this little girl so much. She adores her big sister Winni and they're inseparable. If you're looking for a loving family member, you need to contact Denise and pray she has some beautiful fur babies available. Our two girls are living their best life as best friends and it's the best!!! Kristine Methuen, MA read more

It's been almost a month since we picked up our baby girl, Skadi, from American Goldendoodles and she has absolutely captured our hearts! Once the Mr. and I decided we wanted to add a puppy to our blended family I did a few weeks research on goldendoodle breeders throughout the whole East Coast. We live in CT but we were willing to drive up to 12 hours to pick up our forever baby. When I stumbled upon American Goldendoodles (as an Army Veteran I love the name!), I felt pretty confident we found a compassionate, humane, loving breeder and I had it narrowed down to them and a breeder out in PA. I'm so happy the first one to get back to me was American Goldendoodles. We drove up there the next day and it turned out they had exactly the pup for us. When Ellen brought Skadi out, she was just so full of love, we melted! She had just a teensy touch of white on her chin, chest and the very tips of her back paws - She was our little snow goddess so we named her Skadi. Since we've brought her home, she has easily adjusted to our family, including our demanding Kitty, Bo (her new best friend)! She's a refreshingly easy learner, which is great because she will soon be trained to be a my service dog! Her coat is the most beautiful apricot colors with red highlights, and I'm pretty sure her heart is big enough to fill the Empire State's Building!!! Sending out a HUGE thank you to American Goldendoodles for making it possible for Skadi to join our family. You guys are amazing and we couldn't be happier or more in love with Skadi!!! read more

We went to American Goldendoodle in Sutton just to "look" at a puppy. I brought my 2 children to see how they interacted with a puppy. The staff there was amazing, staying open a little later for us, answering all my questions, taking the time to explain things, and never once pressuring us to buy the puppy. Of course, it was love at first site and we ended up leaving with our little Zoe and we are so grateful that we did. She is the sweetest, friendliest, and well-tempered dog. We have 2 active children, and Zoe handles them so well. They absolutely adore her as does anyone that she meets. After we brought Zoe home, we realized that my cousin had bought a dog 20 years before from the same breeder. I was so happy to hear this because my cousin's dog was such a love and good dog. It re-assured me we made a good decision. Even our dog trainer constantly comments how impressed she is with how fast Zoe learns, her kind temperament, socialization, and her overall personality. Zoe advanced in her training, and we are all amazed at all her abilities. We are so lucky to have Zoe as an addition to our family. Based on my current experience and my cousin's experience I would absolutely recommend American Goldendoodle to others. I am already trying to convince my husband to get another puppy from American Goldendoodle [TBD at the moment.] read more

I hesitated to wrote this review because I'm concerned about the nature of some of the negative reviews on this site (which we saw after we adopted our mini-golden doodle. In January 2022, we were looking for a puppy having lost our 14 year old terrier mix. We were considering lots of rescues and breeds, including golden doodles and learned that American Goldendoodle had some pups. The process was a little strange, not the usual waiting for litter and joining a waiting list. But frankly, that was part of the attraction. We wanted to get a a puppy right away (I've had dogs for more than 40 years). We made three separate visits and were shown a bunch of pups. We finally decided on an eight week old male puppy. Yes, I think we overpaid (and that does bother me) but the reality is, I've had many pups and this pup, now almost two years old, is just wonderful. He is healthy, smart, calm, friendly, playful and just a light of our lives. I hope American Goldendoodle will address some of the comments here. Perhaps genetic testing and clearer identify of the parents of the litter would be the best adds. But, honestly, it I could get another dog like out beautiful, sweet mini-golden doodle (he is about 30 pounds), I would do it in a heartbeat. read more

Denise is amazing! You can absolutely tell that she is a true professional. We got our medium/mini goldendoodle (now named Scout) from Denise and we could not be more obsessed with our new furry family member! We ended up at American Goldendoodle after watching a co-workers goldendoodles and falling in love with them. My sister-in-law also has a goldendoodle from American Goldendoodle and we thought that she got lucky with a one-in-million pup. Once we figured out that her pup was also from American Goldendoodle--we knew it was NOT a coincidence that all of pups we knew from Denise/American Goldendoodle had one-in-a-million personalities. It was then we knew we had to go there & I called Denise. These pups are just truly the happiest pups, eager to learn, eager to please and ready to LOVE endlessly. Denise makes the entire process easy and stress-FREE with flexible availability & plenty of options for pups. If you want a pup that will love you endlessly & a positive, memorable dog buying experience--you have to go to American Goldendoodle. I promise, you won't regret it. Thank you so much, Denise! Once little Scout is fully trained, we will be back to get her a sibling! :) read more

American Goldendoodle is the best breeder we have discovered, to date. From our initial over-the-phone experience to meeting the puppies in Dee's home, every step of the adoption process was as flawless as it was exciting. We'd like to give American goldendoodle a 5+ star rating. Dee welcomed us into her home and so did her precious litter of goldendoodle puppies. It was spectacular to see the entire goldendoodle family, even the sweet mom and dad! We were thrilled to have been given the opportunity to see all available puppies at once, and individually. Each puppy was just too cute for words! We had a very hard time just leaving with one, to say the least. It was refreshing to see that all pups live in the house and not in kennels! Dee and her team were so gracious as to let us spend one-on-one time with each ball of fluff, allowing us to eventually find our baby! Our pup quickly became the light of our life. She is just as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside, not to mention, she came home potty trained. Visiting American Goldendoodle was one of the best decisions we have made yet, and we hope to bring our pup a doodle brother in the near future! read more

Unfortunately my experience with American Goldendoodles leads me to believe Denise is not breeding these puppies in her own home. There is a website that provided me with some more evidence to support this assumption. (https://www.complaintsboard.com/castle-cottage-country-home-puppies-puppies-multiple-breeds-c889899) I felt it was strange that when I emailed Denise back in April she said she had puppies available right away. No other breeders in New England (or even more broadly just in the eastern united states) have readily available puppies. There was no information on the adult males and females being bred and any reputable breeder would have genetic testing on the parents, with them listed clearly. You may be able to adopt a puppy quickly through Denise but just know that you are likely supporting the continuation puppy mills located who knows where... it may be tempting to use this "breeder" for a readily available puppy but once you start working with a reputable breeder you'll notice everything she's doing is super shady. read more

We're excited to share a 5-star review, but we'd give American Goldendoodle 10 stars if we could! In search of an authentic breeder, we discovered many pups are sold and shipped online. We were impressed to find a breeder that was very "hands on" and wanted to meet with us in person to learn more about our family's needs. We were able to spend hours of personal time with the parents and the entire litter, which was the best way to pick our pup. The friendly staff completely prepared us for our new puppy and the transition. We were thrilled to see how easy it was to train our pup. She came home super smart, potty trained, and very well tempered. It's evident how knowledgeable and dedicated the staff are with the dogs. They truly go above and beyond to make sure each pup is placed in the right home, with the right family. We could not be more thankful for the time American Goldendoodle spent with us to find our kind-spirited, little bear! read more

We purchased our 2nd golden doodle from Denise and like our first we could not be happier. Our first, Madison we actually purchased for our daughter. We drove to her house every week from the time the puppies were 2 days old and took pictures and held Madison so she could slowly bond with us until the time we were able to bring her home around 9 weeks. We were able to see both the mom and dad who were both very gentle which was comforting. Madison is now 5 and is the smartest, sweetest and most loving doodle ever. She moved with our daughter a year ago so we knew we needed another golden doodle so we contacted Dee and she said she had the perfect doodle for us and she was not kidding. We purchased Iris and our lives have never been the same. She too is the most loving, even more so than Madison. She has this smile that doesn't quit and she loves to hug and i mean really hug. Thank you Denise! read more

We picked up our new goldendoodle from American Golden Doodle in Sutton, Massachusetts 2 weeks ago. The breeder, facility and overall experience exceeded our expectations. The "at home" facility was spotless, Denise and Tina were terrific, helpful dog paraphernalia was graciously included and we were impressed. All of this has been topped by our wonderful puppy. After only two weeks he sits on command and it is as if he is training us to take him outside not us training him. The dog is loving, fun and smart. We went through an exhaustive process to select a dog breed and then again to find a breeder. We surely made the right decision on both counts and you will too if you get a goldendoodle from American Golden Doodle. Take a drive to visit a perfectly manicured suburban house, be treated fairly and kindly by nice people and come home with a fabulous puppy and a support team. What could be better? read more

I highly recommend American Goldendoodle! Denise and Tina are excellent and stay with you every step of the way offering support, answering all of my questions, and providing expertise and extensive knowledge of puppies including timelines of what to do and when, which was very helpful to me. I haven't had a dog in almost a decade and was unsure about the process of where to start, but they were amazing at helping me feel confident that I could raise a happy and healthy puppy. Her house was clean and great to see the dogs raised in a beautiful home environment. Both the parents and puppies were family-friendly, adorable, and eager to play and cuddle with you. Tina ensured that I left with everything I needed to feel prepared. Both Tina and Denise are amazing and I wouldn't buy a puppy anywhere else. I'm so happy with this experience and thrilled to have this adorable new addition to the family. read more

We have had our puppy for a week now, and he is so loving,warm, and smart. We had a wonderful experience at American golden Doodle everyone there was super nice, informative, and caring. It became very obvious that it was not an act for the sale of a puppy, but that it was a establishment based off of genuine caring and love for life, which has been very apparent in the behavior of our new pup. He is only about 3 months old, he came to us piddle pad trained, looking for lots of love and cuddles, and very responsive to verbal cues. He is already almost potty trained to the outside and has become an instant favorite family member. We could not be more happy with are addition to our family and we would recommend American Doodle to everyone who is looking for a loving addition to there family. read more

I'm so grateful to have found Denise of American Goldendoodle. We just lost our beautiful Pilot, a wire-haired fox terrier of 11 years to a sudden illness. Pilot provided such love and joy to our family and established a special bond with my son who has autism. We wanted to fill the void that had been left in our hearts. So, we started searching online and came upon American Goldendoodle. And, I'm so glad we did! Denise was very knowledgeable as a breeder guiding us through the process - showing the utmost patience and kindness - given our recent loss. We now have a new member to our family, the cutest Goldendoodle pup named Bella. Bella is already becoming the best of friends with my son. I couldn't ask for anything more. I highly recommend Denise and American Goldendoodle! read more

My family and I had a great experience with Denise and her team. We're a family of new dog owners and she was very patient with us. She spent lots of time getting to know us and our family's schedule/needs, helping us find the right puppy, select the right equipment, and giving us general advice on how to be the best puppy-parents we can be. Additionally, she's been in regularly contact with us since we brought our puppy home, helping us with everything from organizing the perfect living space for the dog to what we should look for in vets/pet insurance. She raises her puppies on a wonderful piece of Property in Central Massachusetts that would make any other dog jealous! I would highly recommend her to any other families looking for dogs! read more

We got our little Willie from Denise and we are very happy with our experience. We were not well prepared for Willie before we got him, and Denise had given us a lot of help along the way. She gave us the playpen, bully stick, stuffed Kong toy and washable pooch pads when we brought Willie home, and she was patient answering our questions. The bully stick Denise gave us has been Willie's all time favorite and the stuffed Kong toy has been Willie's bedside companion. The advice we got from Denise has also helped Willie learn house rules quickly. Willie is becoming a great companion and a wonderful family member to us. He is also very playful and quite social. Everyone who met Willie love him at first sight! read more

We wanted a Goldendoodle puppy for our family and researched our options. We also knew the pandemic required patience and understanding. When we discovered American Goldendoodle and was explained the process, we could not have been more happier and appreciative. It was smooth, effective and efficient. We were appropriately screened and interviewed, and our anticipated "arrival date" was right on schedule. Both Denise and her staff were supportive and professional and have continued to extend their support and availability after we got home with "Lulu"! Our family is blessed with the new addition. Thank you American Goldendoodle! read more
