I am posting my original reviews in Yelp because the public needs to know who Lochavens Rottweilers…read morereally are: SecondRate Google apparently blocked my EVIDENCE BASED RESPONSE-W PHOTOS & TEXT MSGS directly Frm Kevin Sidwel's phone that contradicts his posted claims & lies: REVIEW #1: POSTED ON LOCHAVENS ROTTWEILERS GOOGLE BUSINESS PAGE 4/26 BAIT & SWITCH DEALER: UNTRUSTWORTHY Kevin Sidwell changed the price of "my puppy" 3 specific -evidenced times in the course of the purchase. All the worse, as when I first called him: I immediately told him I was not looking for a puppy nor could I afford one of his puppies. From offering me a "free" puppy on the evening I called; then requiring $500 when the puppies were 3 weeks old (claiming I needed to secure my position to select a puppy): then demanding $2000 dollars the evening before he had scheduled the puppy pick up at 5 weeks 6 days old. This breeder is a liar and a cheat. Note: I called him (having followed his Kennel for over 2 decades) and specifically asked if he had or knew of young adult Rottweilers needing rehoming as I had just lost my mobility Rottweiler to a tragic accident. Note2: I have all the text messages from Sidwell -I'll will post -I just didn't know how to attach them here. I am 70 years old. REVIEW (2) RESPONSE TO LOCHAVENS ROTTWEILERS KEVIN SIDWELL's GOOGLE BUSINESS PAGE REPLY TO REVIEW #1 (above) I am writing to provide an evidence-based account regarding Mr. Sidwell's recent response to my Google Business Review. While I intended for a concise resolution, the inaccuracies presented in his narrative make it necessary to share the documented facts to ensure the safety of other families and their pets. The evidence provided contradicts Mr. Sidwell's claims of professionalism and compassion and Protestants that are illegal m federal, stateDespite legal requirements, my puppy, Luke, and his littermates were transported at only six weeks of age. Furthermore, I was pressured to take possession of Luke by September 7th, prior to the standard eight-week mark. Regarding Luke's health, Mr. Sidwell failed to provide professional evidence of veterinary care or vaccinations. The only documentation provided was a handwritten note on a generic form lacking a professional signature. Consequently, despite receiving professional vaccinations and treatment upon entering my care, Luke tragically passed away from Canine Distemper, Parvovirus, and a severe parasite infestation. Further, Mr. Sidwell has recently engaged in personal attacks in a public medium regarding my character, cultural background and financial circumstances rather than addressing these serious health and safety concerns. He has also made contradictory claims regarding the pricing and "of the puppy. Furthermore, although Sidewell claims a motivation of compassion with regards to refunding my $500 deposit and the first of 10 contract payments he developed the day before I was scheduled to pick up Luke --- this refund was dependent upon me - deleting my Google Review on his Google Business Page: 4 weeks before he hosted a German Rottweiler VIP (Oliver) therefore, he motivation was not compassionate but his desire not to be inconvenienced. As he initially offered to return my money after Luke's death; but refused to do so unless I remove my initial Google Review. I believed him when he promised to start anew. I am sharing this documentation to ensure transparency and to protect other potential owners from similar experiences. Thank you for your time and for considering the facts of this matter.

I highly recommend you stay away from this breeder. We were excited to purchase a micro…read moregoldendoodle which according to the companies site noted approx weight between 5-10 pounds. Based on the breeders direct feedback they noted the puppy "will be on the small side" which we wanted as we already have two other golden's. Well our dog is now 5 months old and over 15 pounds and still growing. We spent an additional $1k to receive a smaller dog to add to our family. Mini Doodle Dogs uses other breeders which they do not advertise on their site which is also misleading. We engaged them multiple times directly as we paid a higher cost for a micro and they continue to note "refer to the contract" regardless of how they promote the sizes on the companies site. We love our new puppy but wanted to highlight the companies lack of proper communication and helping to resolve poor advertising around the type of dog they are selling. I would hope this direct review creates additional dialogue around this issue

I was quite impressed with the testimonials given about Goldendoodles Utah that I found on the internet. Now I see why I saw so many positive remarks. First, let me say that their professional kennel is quite impressive. The whole family seems to pitch in. (Although mom is the professional Breeder) the facility was immaculate on a huge "doggy farm". You know, like the one you always heard about as a kid, upstate where your beloved pet went to go frolic with other dogs in a wide open doggy paradise....haha. But this one is actually real. They have all their Dams onsite and some if not all the Sires. It's anything but a puppy mill. This is a pro Breeder who is selective in who she sells to. You have to sign a contract, and in that contract you have to promise to never give your dog to a shelter for any reason, but to take them back to GU to be "rehomed". These dogs are the top of the top as far as health, intelligence, physicality and of course care. They see the vet more times before you take them home than most humans see the doctor in 10 years. They get shots, exams, dew claw removal hip assessment, you name it. This dedication to excellence has made her lines absolutely phenomenal. My puppy is incredibly smart. And of course gorgeous! They have you leave them something you have worn with your scent on it at selection day 2 weeks before you pick them up. So they are familiar with you before you get them. The Breeder who has interviewed you to find out what type of dog you are looking for as well as what your lifestyle is, introduces you to pups she thinks would be a great match. She knows their personalities as she socializes them closely before you get there. That requires her to know her pups. Of course you can choose whatever available pup you want to, but the Breeder gives a great recommendation. For us, it was perfection! That is why I am writing this review. I couldn't be more grateful. From the beginning of the process until you are driving home with your new family member, the process at Goldendoodles Utah is about the best one you could hope for. They even send you home with a blanket that mom and sibs slept on so they feel comfortable for the first few nights. It makes a difference. A big one. If you are looking for the best Goldendoodles in Salt Lake City, or even if you are out of state, I couldn't say enough good things about this Goldendoodle family. As you can tell, I tried! Haha
