The hardest part really was waiting for the day we'd go to pick her up! Skye is a schnoodle - part schnauzer part poodle, but I think she has more of a poodle look. When two breeds are mixed you cannot be guaranteed what the dog will look like. We really love her and she's a great pup to have! Training and housebreaking took time, patience and work but that's expected with any dog. She loves her crate and for any future puppy owners I highly recommend using a crate as it not only helps with potty training but also provides a safe space. Overall I'm very happy with BarMor and I always recommend BarMor and Daryl to others that are considering getting a puppy.

Both dogs are beautiful, incredibly healthy, and have been amazing additions to our family. And I really can't say enough good things about Famn Damily. I've been there twice now. With my family. In both cases we drove 240 miles to get there, just because we realized what a special place it is, and because we knew we didn't want to get our puppies from any place else. You set foot on the farm, and you see dogs that are truly living their best lives. They have so much space to run and play, they are so well cared for, and so loved, and so clearly happy!! And healthy. And the facilities that have been constructed for the dogs, that clearly took a great deal of time, money and effort to build, are very impressive. Melodie Hammond runs the farm. And she's amazing. I know that my future dogs will be golden retrievers, simply because I know I only want to get puppies from Melodie, from Famn Damily, and Golden retrievers are what she breeds. The last thing I said to Melodie when I left the farm yesterday was, "see you in another two years"

Goldendoodles are great breeds for many reasons, but I truly think a great Doodle comes from an exceptional breeder. When searching for your new companion, you want to find a breeder who knows exactly what they're doing, someone who is passionate about the breed and cares about the overall wellbeing of the puppy. You want to find a breeder who is responsible and ethical and isn't just trying to make a quick buck. Janelle is no exception. She goes above and beyond to make sure all her puppies are healthy, have wonderful temperaments and excellent genetics. There is no doubt Janelle knows exactly what she is doing. I admire Janelle and appreciate all the hard work that goes into breeding such a perfect dog. You may also think the price is a little high, but trust me, you get what you pay for and Penelope is worth every single "Penny."

After a very long time of researching breeders I decided that Janelle Cole at bellaminidoodles.com…read moreseemed like the best fit to work with. I found a beautiful puppy listed on the website " Fushia Girl " a mini goldendoodle i spoke to Jenelle 3 times before purchasing. She sent me the invoice for 3,900.00. Once I paid in full she texted me not thanking me for the payment but to complain she forgot to add on the $110.00 processing fee she gets charged when one uses a credit card. Although this was settled once she realized her error Jenelle advised she would pay for this fee along with the " training the pup received " I selected a pick up date see her website she charges $550.00 for pick up in Lee Massachusetts. Once a delivery date was set I received another text from Jenelle advising me to bring $675.00 in cash for the delivery driver. Big difference $550.00 to $675.00. I arrived early that day to pick up the puppy, no delivery company existed it was just her son. I pay the $675.00 was handed the pup and drove home the 2 hours. When finally was getting settled at home I noticed I was given the wrong dog. I also must add this pup was so shaggy, messy, matted and poor thng couldn't see with the amount of hair covering the eyes. I brought the pup to TWO pet specialists and was told this dog is NOT a Pure Goldendoodle this is closer to a Poddle. I contacted Jenelle Cole that same night at 732pm via text, expressed my concern to Jenelle Cole. Radio Silent, No Text, No Phone Call nothing. The next day at 130 pm I finally connected with Jenelle Cole owner of Bellaminidoodles.com. The reply I received " anyone who is not happy with the puppy they receive I always tell them to bring the puppy back to me " I remind her I live in Massachusetts and she lives in Rochester NY a 938 miles round trip. That day I spend 2 hours researching flight nanny, delivery companies, private flights out of the Beverly ma airport, thought about renting a car, looked into taking a bus to NY so many ideas but every idea I had and looked into would cost $650.00 at minimum to get the pup returned to NY. I finally decided I would drive my own car that is a lease to NY. I reached back out to Janelle and ask her if she would kindly return my $675.00 cash from the pick up delivery and I Will agree to drive the pup I have back to her home in Rochester NY. Her reply " I am not paying one penny for your expense to bring the pup back to me this is your responsibility " Text me when you are on your way, and hangs up on the phone on me. The next day at 4:42 am I got in the car and drove to NY. I arrived at 12:35 pm returned the pup back to Jenelle Cole. She begged me not to post any reviews. She asked me if I thought she was being fair I replied NO but showed zero compassion. All I wanted and still want is the delivery fee of $675.00 returned to me. Note again her sketchy website says her delivery fee to pick-up a pup is $550.00 so why was I was charged $675.00 is wild. I returned home that same night at 920pm. I drove 987 miles, drove a total of 14 hours, spent $140.00 on gas in one day a big loss for me. The next day Jenelle Cole texted me showing me pictures of the pup all well groomed saying she has been adopted for $3400. I submitted a complaint with the Attorney general office in NY thankfully they have a Lemon Law for Dogs. Waiting for the outcome, I just want my refund. #1 pic is the dog I purchased, #2 & 3rd picture is how I received the pup, shaggy, messy and not the same dog. Lastly her pups are not " Trained " so please beware and no I do not recommend bellaminidoodles.com. They advertise Goldendoodles but are selling Poodles. Note multiple negative reviews posted on bellaminidoodles.com most concerning her last positive review is not recent dated back to 2019. Could be family or friends posting a positive review.

Here's why: Erika, the owner, takes the time to learn about each prospective rider before you come so she can pair you with the perfect horse. So be sure and take the time to let them know in the online questionnaire how you are with horses and riding. I'm a confident rider and got a great horse for me where my husband isn't as confident rider and he was paired with a sweet easy going horse, Faye. Actually all the horses are sweet and wonderful. We did a one hour trail ride. The trail was fun - not too challenging and we even got to stop by a beautiful creek so the horses could take a drink. It's absolutely magical & no better way to see the beauty of this region. Now the horses: They are all beautiful, very healthy and thus happy. You can get to know them on the Painted Bar Stables website! Many are rescued and have been revitalized by being in this wonderful place. I can't wait to return.

The property is expansive and beautiful. Rolling Hills, gorgeous pastures, shady forest with rivers cutting through it. The horses are phenomenal! It's clear from the first moment that the animals are adored! Exceptionally well taken care of, pampered, and of course it reflects in their tempers! They love their humans and could not have been sweeter to us! Have you ever met a horse who's a hugger? I did today and his name is Sweet Tea! The check-in process was smooth and easy. Even the Gift Shop has some really cute and memorable selections, which is rare! We were a party of 6, 3 adults and 3 kids. Some experienced, some real novices. Our guides, Randall and Zoe were a pleasure from the beginning to end. Zoe - thank you for matching every rider to their horse thoughtfully and perfectly! This young lady must have a sixth sense about human/horse personalities because, as the absolutely delightful owner Erika was describing their wonderful horses, it was sometimes hard to keep track of whether she was talking about the horse or the rider . Randall and Zoe - our guides were respectful, patient, informative, fun, and engaging. They made this experience unforgettable for everyone in the group! Erika stopped by as we were leaving and chatted with us for a while. This wonderful woman is pure joy and a force of nature! She truly loves her horses, staff and customers alike! She talked to us about the horses, their personalities, the stables and our riding experience. Loved meeting her and our guides! Thank you for a fantastic experience! You made all of us so happy!

They…read morehave refused to step in and help dogs that were chained up outside in temperatures well below zero. In fact dogs have froze to death due to their negligence.They also have lied to animal advocates regarding dogs being kept inside an abandoned "house" without heat, food and water- stating that they were taking a dog that was in a crate and had eaten his way through the side- and was stuck and bleeding, for help. Animal advocates watched them back a van in to "take the dog for medical help" while numerous Rochester PD stood guard on the property. However, it was later learned that they never removed the dog- it was all a staged game. Lollypop takes in thousands and thousands of dollars- pays their board of directors massive salaries and continues to abuse and mistreat animals. STOP SUPPORTING THIS TRAIN WRECK!! THEY ARE USING PUBLIC DONATIONS TO FUND THESE SALARIES-NOT PROTECT ANIMALS. After walking through the above mentioned house - through feces and urine and finding more than one dog in this type of situation, Reno DiDomenico, from Lollypop, stated that they don't take action because nothing is wrong.

They told us we had to bring our own dog for a meet-and-greet, which we were expected, even though we live an hour and a half away and I had to work later that day. Time was already tight. When we got there, they made us wait outside in the cold for at least 30 minutes. When they finally brought Willie out, he still had a cone on from being neutered a few days earlier. Because of the cone, the dogs couldn't smell each other the right way, which made our dog bark out of confusion--not aggression. Willie wasn't being mean at all either. Both dogs were just stressed because they couldn't interact normally. The woman handling Willie didn't help the situation. She kept pulling him back and barely let the dogs get close. Then once we were in the pen, our dog Fynn barked again for the same reason, and one of the workers turned to us and asked, in a rude tone, "Does he bark like this all the time? Do you have a problem with it at home? This seems like bad behavior." No--maybe if they had taken the cone off or let the dogs actually smell each other, things would've gone differently. After only a few minutes, they told us it "wasn't going to work" but that we could come back the next day and try again. I was crushed. I really loved Willie and could see him fitting into our home. We already have an Australian Shepherd and everything ready for two dogs. For a place that says they want these animals to find good homes, they made the process way harder than it needed to be. I truly hope Willie ends up with a loving family, because he was such a sweet boy and would've been a great addition to ours. But the way Lollypop Farm handled things felt rude, rushed, and honestly unfair. Walking away without him was awful and heartbreaking.

I had held off submitting this last year but now that I see they are breeding and selling pups from…read moreSummer, I felt it right to post this for awareness. I am concerned with the ethics of a breeder who is knowingly further breeding a dog that has in fact produced offspring with severe hip dysplasia. Below is the original I was going to post... Make sure you read and understand the details of the contract! We purchased 2 puppies from Shawna from different litters in Sep/Oct '23. The pups are absolutely adorable, good demeanor and intelligent. The black tri is Harvey and he's a little mischievous and gets into things but is a really good dog. The red merle is Knox (named after the Buffalo Bill's Dawson Knox) and has an awesome personality and a deep voiced bark. After about 6 months (Apr '24), we noticed that Knox was favoring his right back leg and was doing 'bunny hops'. We took him to our vet to find out that they thought he had a severe case of hip dysplasia, which is quite unusual in small breed dogs. We contacted Shawna immediately about it and she responded in 2 days stating that she's never had this happen before, but its unpredictable and she can only do her due diligence. We had stated that we wanted to keep him and she offered $500 back if we wanted to keep him. So, we made an appt with Cornell University to have him evaluated...and we had to wait until Aug '24 to get into the specialist. The doctor at Cornell stated that Knox has genetic Hip Dysplasia on both sides, with the right side being very bad...the left is probably good enough to let it be. The doctor also advised we contact the breeder and make sure the parents do not breed together again (Sire is Jager, Dame is Summer). We forwarded the report to Shawna and did not hear back from her after reaching out several times until mid-October. We fell in love with Knox and didn't want him to suffer, nor be taken from our lives...we decided that we are going ahead with the surgery. So, we did some research, got some legal advice and asked Shawna to reimburse us up to the cost of the puppy for medical expenses due to this genetic defect...as seems typical for reputable breeders and quite frankly fair to us as we're going to incur many $1000's above to help this wonderful animal. Shawna refused and said the only way we could get our money back was if we returned the dog to her as per the contract. I asked what would happen to him if I returned him, and that if she didn't answer I assume he would be put down immediately...no answer there. Well, we're going ahead with the surgery despite any help from Shawna. I asked her to reconsider her position on this and show some compassion for the dog and situation, but she is taking a hard line on the contractual words...and that's where we stand today. We were willing to take on the lion share of the expenses but she got us with the contact technicalities. We're still going to do good by Knox and provide him with the best life we can. His surgery is scheduled for late Dec '24. Added 7/5/2025 - copy of the contract with parents listed as proof/evidence. And an update that Knox is doing absolutely great with his titanium hardware, our bank account is about $12k lighter, and he and Harvey are awesome little pups!

I decided to get a second pet in 2020, but due to a long waitlist, I ended up getting my puppy a year later. She was always open for questions, and gave me lots of resources to prepare for my puppy. Upon bringing him home and integrating him into my life, it's clear how well he was raised by her. He has a perfect temperament and is super bright and healthy. He gets so many compliments for how well mannered and playful he is around people and other dogs. I spoke to many breeders over the course of my search for a puppy, and Shawna was far and away the best on every level. Many have lots of litters, and force you to pay as soon as the litter arrives, which isn't the case for her. She kept the puppy the full 8 weeks to let me see updates before making a decision. Additionally, she offered to meet me halfway between NYC to pick him up, which was a huge help. I can't recommend her enough, and am so thankful to her for the beautiful puppy that is now part of my family for life.
