    We are very happy with our puppy! Colony Breeders was very nice with helping us pick out our furry friend! I would highly recommend this breeder to anyone!

    Don't get me wrong, I love my pup! I just wish they would have been a little more engaged during the process before I received my boy Petey. Granted, I will cut them slack as he was born 12/2/2017 which is right during the holidays. Just wanted a couple more pictures of him and it was difficult getting them to get good ones sent to usIt was pretty easy picking him and we were able to play with all the puppies left before choosing. They did offer us to come visit once before pick up so we could have an idea what puppy we wanted but because it was during the holiday season it was hard to nail down a date to do that. I do wish they would have had the mom and dad available to see and play with as well so you could maybe gauge how your pups temperament was going to turn out. Petey was healthy and rambunctious from the start. He is an F1b and his mom is Sheria and his dad was Cesar. He's super smart and well behaved at 2 1/2 years old.

    We got our puppy from colony Breeders, process was simple, I appreciate the fast response, I wish they gave update the While waiting for the pick up day but our puppy is healthy and easy to potty train.

    We had the best experience with Colony Breeders. We had to postpone getting our puppy because of some personal issues and they worked with us until we were ready to add a new "baby" to our family. Our little Dakota is the best dog we have ever owned. She was house broken the minute she came home, super smart, happy and all around a "perfect" dog. We could not have asked for a better puppy. I keep thinking that we must have gotten the best of the litter because she is such a perfect dog, but I really think that all of their dogs much have similar personalities. It was an easy experience and we are thrilled with her. The Goldendoodle was a great choice because she is so extremely smart and a mix of two great breeds. LOVE HER!!!!

    First day at home

    Colony Breeders are very good although communication can definitely use an upgrade. Put deposit on August 2020 Puppy was scheduled for January 2021 pickup. Ended up picking him in March. Can't blame the breeder about the pregnancy delay I guess, but we had to keep texting for information. The day of pickup/selection was very well organized and we didn't feel rushed at all. My kids played with 4 males (second selection) for half hour till they got locked to a puppy they loved. Pluto came home and was for sure nervous but ate and slept. He was almost instantaneously potty trained on day one other than a few accidents he has been perfect. He is a hungry little rascal and always gobbles down his food in 20 seconds. Extremely easy to train (even for a novice learning from YouTube). The coat itself is less poodle like and more retriever type. He is a puppy and needs daily combing and sheds on the comb. I would definitely recommend this breeder for good pups which are cheap (compared to everyone else we found), but definitely will go through some waiting jitters. Pictures are sent upon request.

    We love our puppy that we got from colony breeders! She was one of Sugar's pups. The process was fine, but this was our first time getting a puppy from a breeder and we could have used a bit more guidance and communication during the process. Overall a good experience and I would do it again

    Nothing but a great experience with Colony Breeders. The owners were extremely nice and friendly from the start. The property is incredible and the dogs are all beautiful and friendly. Our puppy is absolutely amazing. They clearly do some training before the dogs go to their forever home as our Rosie already knew to walk towards the door to go potty and was completely comfortable sleeping in her crate on the first night. She is super healthy and growing everyday with no issues what so ever. She loves every dog and human that she comes in contact with and has been nothing but great for us. I honestly have no idea where these negative reviews are coming from because this breeder is phenomenal and the puppies are amazing.

    Very nice people!!! They communicated thoroughly and answered any and all questions we had. We had never gotten a dog through a breeder and they made the process so easy!! So glad we got our pup from Colony Breeders!!

    I am very surprised to hear people's negativity about Colony Breeders. We love them and their dog family! Our journey of choosing our fur-ever fur baby began in April 2017. We had visited a few golden doodle Breeders online and in person, in state and out of state. We did a lot of extensive research. While Searching the web, up popped Colony Breeders. We called and spoke with Troy. Very friendly and informative. He invited us to come down to Galt , and meet his dogs (the parents) they were expecting a litter soon. We were quite impressed by the cleanliness of the property and how well groomed the dogs were! Troy and Katie we're very informative about their dogs and the whole breeding experience. The puppies were born April 10th 2017. We knew we wanted a female, so that was all we will see every time we visited (which was quite often). We were 2nd pick. I had an idea which one of two I was going to choose, the day came June 3, 2017...I got out the car and started towards the puppies and here she came running towards me... my perfect fur baby!! Our girl Karli, has been a life changer for us.. she is so smart and was potty trained to go to the door (very impressive). Well behaved, loves people, children, everywhere we go she goes and people comment on how well she acts for a 2 1/2 year old puppy.. We can only have awesome things to say about Colony Breeders, Troy and Katie. They can promise you a top quality Golden Doodle.. a Fur-ever fur

    We had an amazing experience with Colony Breeders. They were quick with responding, and are super friendly. We've had our puppy almost two months now and could not be more happy with her. She is healthy, happy and growing like a weed!

    I had a great experience with Colony Breeders. I was able to visit the puppies when they were 6 weeks old and Katie let me spend over an hour with them. She was super sweet and helpful. It was very apparent the dogs were well taken care of. Basil was born 6/13/16 and is almost 3 years old. She is healthy and has never had any health concerns. She is full of energy and extremely patient with children. I could not have asked for a better dog. We love her so much and recommend Colony Breeders.

Our sires and dams have been DNA tested to be free of any genetic abnormalities and known genetic issues that are common to Golden Retrievers. Our puppies are raised in our home and socialized to people at an early age. They live in our family room, the hub of our home, for the first several weeks of life and are held and handled daily and given a lot of stimulation to promote healthy development, trust in being handled, and love of human interaction. We begin noise training at an early age to a variety of sounds including vacuum, lawn mower, blower, television, kitchen noises, as well as parrot and chicken noises. They also get exposed to other sounds of nature through dog tv videos featuring dogs, squirrels, birds, and other animals as well as other nature shows played on the tv daily in the family room for the enjoyment of our own dogs as well as the pups. House training is started while still in the whelping pen capitalizing on puppy's basic instinct to not soil their sleeping area. Positive reinforcement is used to encourage positive behaviors. Pups are exposed to age appropriate toys as baby teeth are growing in, to allow them to explore and gain exposure through mouthing different textures.

Kind, reassuring, and incredibly knowledgeable. As first time kitten owners, we had countless questions, and she was always so patient, responsive, and genuinely supportive every step of the way.

She was there for us before, during, and even after bringing our kitten home, which meant more to us than anything having never dealt with a kitten before. You can tell she puts so much love, time, and intention into raising her kittens. Our kitten is everything we could have hoped for. She is affectionate, playful, cuddly, well socialized, and adored by everyone who meets her. She adjusted to us and even our puppy seamlessly and has been an absolute dream with zero issues. We feel unbelievably lucky to have her in our lives. I cannot recommend Irina highly enough. If you are considering working with her, don't hesitate. You'll be glad you did!

We selected our baby girl about a month ago, and she has been an absolute dream. She came fully potty trained and is the sweetest, most cuddly, playful, and friendly kitten. Truly, she is the best cat I've ever had. She's admired by everyone who meets her--family and friends are obsessed! My brother even calls her the "beauty queen" and says she's the prettiest cat he's ever seen. What impressed us most is her temperament. She's wonderful with other pets--my mom brings her dog over and our kitten is gentle and unbothered, and she's even fascinated (in the cutest way) by our bearded dragon. That speaks volumes about the care and socialization Irina provides. Irina is a trusted breeder who clearly puts so much love, intention, and expertise into raising top-notch kitties. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and will absolutely be back in the future. Highly, highly recommend!
