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"

Being new to this or any puppy adoption, we had many, many texts between us so I never felt abandoned in the process.

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.

Beware of this breeder! The breeder was extremely difficult when I contacted her a few months after…read moreI got my Toy Aussie and he was showing signs of fear and aggression. She was very defensive and blamed me for his condition. At the time, she said she didn't believe in socialization for puppies because they needed to exposure to your environment not hers. I have it in an email she sent me! That was my first RED FLAG. I challenged her on this as a long time dog owner who had trained 5 dogs previously. She later added Puppy Culture to her program after our conversations. I hired a dog psychologist to examine the dog and I was warned that I would always have problems with the dog if I kept him. Further conversations with Shawna, I made plans to meet to return the dog, without refunding my money. I noticed a certain coldness in her when asked what would happen to the dog, I feared she would have him destroyed or that he might not make it back to the kennel. She wanted to meet my on a highway and send a friend to get him. Fearing more for the puppy than the effect this emotionally disabled dog would have on my life I ended up keeping him. I hired 5 different trainers in NY and Los Angeles. I made progress, it was mostly I learned how to handle his triggers. I was now living with special needs dog with fear based aggression. He is a beautiful dog, he only likes me and has to be put in a crate in another room when people come over to my home. The reason I wanted an Aussie was so he could go hiking and walk with me. I wanted an active dog but he can't do that either because he is easily triggered while on the leash by other dogs. He lunges at other dogs if I am not 100% vigilate to prevent it. He is full of fear walking around, he never relaxes. He is unable to abide that other dogs live in the building and is highly aggressive to any dog in the elevator or in the lobby. I have to steer him around other dogs to avoid any contact. Owning this dog is one of the worst mistakes I have ever made. As a long time dog owner and lover of animals, I have spared no expense in normalizing this dog to live his best life. Unfortunately, I have had numerous wrist injuries to my right hand, sprains and torn ligaments from holding the leash when he lunges. After 8 years, I am done. I can no longer do this, with the hand injuries and disruption to my life as Shawna would say - we are not a good fit! I told Shawna the kind of dog I needed for my lifestyle and she said this dog would be perfect. Something happened to this dog at an early age, or he received some bad genes. All the dog trainers I hired said the same thing, he was a very difficult case. It is unconscionable how this breeder operates. I would never have tried to return a dog if there wasn't a enormous issue at stake. A year of so later, she just told me to call a Aussie rescue organization, that I didn't have to return the dog to her as it says in the contract. Read these words as a warning. Perhaps Shawna has learned more about dog breeding and training now. However as a business person she is ruthless and I don't believe she has the dog's best interest at heart. You do not want this same experience, be very careful where you get a dog, even if the dog is beautiful or cute. I made the effort to go the kennel, I met the dogs and Shawna in person before I bought my dog. It has been a terrible experience.

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!
