Five Stars! Daryl and Gwen from California Shih Tzu Pups are…read moretruly amazing people. We've gotten two puppies from them, and both experiences have been absolutely wonderful. Our first pup came home with us about three years ago--a male, purebred Shih Tzu with the best demeanor you could ask for. He's been a fantastic family dog and has brought us so much joy. This past November, right around Christmas, we welcomed our second puppy--a Havashu female--and she is beyond adorable. She has beautiful markings, an amazing temperament, and fits perfectly into our family. The two dogs get along wonderfully, which speaks volumes about the care and socialization they receive early on. Daryl and Gwen truly go above and beyond to make sure every person is happy with their puppy and that each pup is loved and cared for like a family member. You can feel how much love they pour into what they do--they are incredibly special people. If you're reading this and considering getting a puppy from them, give them a chance. You will be forever happy with the puppy you bring home Trisha & Nadia

Given the reviews about deposits and refunds, I should share our recent experience…read more Our experience reflects the changes in policies and procedures regarding deposits and refunds. I contacted April in February 2020 because we are looking for a male mini petite Goldendoodle. Early on, she mentioned that deposits are non-refundable but transferrable to another litter as long as I would need. When the litter did not survive, April, immediately contacted us and returned our deposits very QUICKLY. I did not have to wait for her or bother her several times. I decided to let her keep my deposit for the next litter. She even offered a discount because of what happened. The wait was so worth it. We got a cute and adorable mini petite Goldendoodle! We were also the first pick, which was very detrimental to me. April offers the most reasonable pricing for a mini petite Goldendoodle. So many breeders charge more than $2000 for a mixed-breed puppy. We got ours for less than $2000, and he should mature 15lbs to 20lbs! Parents are also health tested. Her prices between solid colored doodles and parti/abstract doodles are the same - showing April does not breed for color and coat type. Responsible breeders will breed because of the parents' personality and temperament. Puppy selection can happen from 6 weeks old to pick up day. We selected our doodle during the pickup day, saving us a trip. Many breeders will let families choose base on pictures, and families will only judge a puppy by his/her coat color and coat type rather than selecting a puppy for his/her personality and temperament. Many dogs end up in the shelter because their character does not fit the family's lifestyle. Speaking of animal shelters, included in the puppy contract, in case a family cannot take care of the dog anymore, she'll take them back and help with rehoming. April was responsive to all my questions and gave me pictures regularly. Whenever I ask for videos, she sent me videos. I was looking for a calm and submissive puppy to pair with our laidback and submissive older doodle. April was very helpful in describing the puppies' personality. She knew which one was outgoing and which one is calm. I originally wanted a dark red doodle but judging by April's feedback, the red doodle, will not be a perfect fit for us. We selected a handsome, teddy bear looking mini Goldendoodle. He has an angelic face, blockhead, and a shiny curly coat. He is smart, calm, submissive but will readily play with our 55 lbs Goldendoodle. He is not scared of loud noises and slowly becoming outgoing and independent. He's also been sleeping through the night at eight weeks old! We love our little man so much. I am happy with how things turned out. Our older doodle loves him so much they have been playing along non-stop. They share the same play style! My husband is delighted because we are all happy. Thank you, April, for our handsome little guy.

I asked for a refund and she said no, it can transfer to another dog. However, the dog would be bigger. Plus it's not the dog we wanted. She had the dog listed on another website for $2500. When I confronted her she said that the extra $500 was for breeding rights. So even the $2000 price advertised is not that! She has been unfair, dishonest, and now won't give our family a refund. Her Facebook page has more reviews like this. I should have listened to the bad reviews!

We just got Zoey two days ago and are over the moon in love with her! Not only is she cute and…read morefluffy, she has lots of personality, is playful, and extremely well behaved. It's amazing she's 9 weeks old, and has had no problem transitioning to going to the bathroom outside when I take her (was originally litter box trained). She also has slept through both nights without whining or any accidents in her crate. We are having so much fun with her, but are also so impressed with the great breeding and care that Adrienne and her family provided to create such a wonderful dog. Working with Adrienne ahead of time was so easy, as she answered all my questions and kept me updated through the process. Upon getting Zoey, we got to see her play with her siblings, mom, and dad....the whole bichon family. The way Adrienne's kids cared for and said goodbye to the puppy was also testament of the treatment and love the dogs receive in their early stages. We are SO HAPPY we went through Adrienne for our newest family member! Thank you!!

In addition she had a gift bag with some pee pads, kibble, a toy for my puppy and some other extras to help the puppy during her transition to her new home. I couldn't be happier. It is three weeks now since I brought Buttons home. She is healthy and happy. She is endlessly entertaining and loves to cuddle. I would recommend California Cuddles without hesitation.
