We could not be happier with our experience with Anne and BlackBriar Bernedoodles…read more From the very beginning, it was clear how much love, care, and devotion Anne gives her puppies. We brought Baci Blu home at eight weeks old, and we have been amazed by how sweet, confident, curious, and intelligent she is. We have only had Baci for four days, and she is already settling beautifully into her new life. She is sleeping well in her crate, exploring new places with confidence, and becoming completely comfortable in our home. She has already learned come, sit, down, and roll, and is working on a wave. We are amazed by how quickly she learns. What has impressed us most is the foundation Anne gave her. Baci came to us having been loved, handled, socialized, and raised with such thoughtful attention to both her physical and emotional well-being. Anne also took the time to share Baci's food, routines, personality, and everything that would help make her transition easier. Choosing a breeder is such an important decision, and we feel incredibly fortunate that we found Anne. She genuinely loves these puppies, and it shows in the beautiful little girl we brought home. Thank you, Anne, for trusting us with Baci. We already love her so much. Ro & Lisa Boston

I contacted Anne approximately 6 months prior to the time I wanted to get a bernedoodle pup. She…read morewas very responsive to email, sent pictures of previous litters and answered some of my questions. Before fully committing and giving my deposit I had a wonderful phone conversation with Anne. Once my deposit was received communication became almost non existent. In our previous conversations she stated that she would keep me posted on the pups arrival as well as growth/progress. This was also stated in the contract I signed. I sent multiple emails and phone calls that went unanswered. Only after multiple attempts to get in touch with Anne did I receive the bare minimum of information. I only ever received two group pictures of the pups once they were born. A few weeks prior to the go home date I became concerned as I had not picked out a pup yet. Finally two weeks prior to our pick up date Anne reached out to tell me this litter of pups was projecting to be 2-3x the size that was anticipated (I was looking to get a mini). I was also disheartened to learn that all the males except one was already spoken for. Anne never told me where I was on the list but said she helps each person pick a puppy. Ultimately, I decided to forgo my deposit. I felt that Anne was breeding too many dogs at once and had too many puppies to really make her facility ethical. I feel that she was too busy with all the puppies in her care to allow her the communication with the buyers that is necessary when adopting a puppy, especially seeing how expensive her dogs are. I would be very cautious getting a pup from Anne. I was thoroughly disappointed in the process and would not get a puppy from black briar bernedoodles.

This location used to be Companionway Kennel. It is under new ownership but essentially the same…read morestaff work there. We have had great experience using this kennel for the past 8 years. They recognize us on site and our dog is never afraid to be left off. We toured pretty much every kennel in the state (8-years ago) and this was by far the best choice. They kept their facilities clean and had friendly professional staff....not high school / college kids. The runs are decent size and our dog never comes back too stinky (i mean, it is a kennel...but not covered in feces or urine like other places we have been). hey also have Dog & cat grooming services. My biggest complaint is they are no longer open on sundays. This really ramps up the cost if you are just doing an overnight from Sat to Sun. Now I can't pick up my dog until Monday afternoon because I have to go to work all day first? That seems a little 'iffy to me.T

If I could rate this breeder a zero I would. We purchased a five month old male German Shepard…read morefrom here about two years ago. Once we started to train him and observe his behavior, it became evident that the dog was left unattended for long periods of time and the breeder was just in it for the money. This was reinforced by the fact that nobody ever answers the phone and there's no capability to leave a voice message. The dog obviously had no socialization with people or other animals in his first five months. He was overly aggressive from the beginning and constantly growled and lunged at people and other dogs, starting with the basic obedience class we attended. Despite hiring two reputable trainers, it was not possible to break him of the barking and lunging at people and other dogs. We have to keep him outside, or on a leash, with a muzzle, whenever anyone comes to visit. He even bit one of the trainers and came close to biting my son on the arm and my girlfriend in the face. I contacted four animal shelters and none of them would take him because they said he was too aggressive and therefore "unadoptable." I guess I'll just have to keep dealing with it. I've owned other Shepards before and never had a problem with training. They're smart dogs and usually learn quickly. I would recommend to anyone looking for a German Shepard to find a reputable breeder with good references and not someone just looking to make a buck.

We had Dr. Serra be Albi's "main" vet, and even though we clashed in our methods and ways at first,…read moreI got to learn that he really is just trying to do his job (and let's be real, I am not a DVM). I took my GSD here where had gotten diagnosed with perianal fistulae, which ended up with a pretty grim prognosis as to what would happen to him. Dr. Serra changed his diet and gave him the first line defense medications for PFs (metronidazole, prednisone). Albi had 2 more visits afterwards that proved that we would need some heavy stuff to get him better, but on our last visit Dr. Serra had a really amazing moment where he had found a study that proved Protopic (study I had found before as well but decided not to step on his toes) would be helpful, and he also had a pamphlet on the medication on his desk that was mailed to him by chance. So he put him on it, and it made me incredibly happy that he noticed when something new needed to be tried. Albi eventually got better thanks to work from a conventional vet who also worked with traditional chinese herbal medicine (Dr. Stephanie Torlone), as well as a holistic vet (Dr. Sharon Doolittle). But Dr. Serra helped us with what he knew, and he really became helpful with figuring out how to treat Albi with the cheapest drugs possible (if it was possible!). I should point out - Dr. Serra was the only vet in RI a few years back to successfully treat and cure a patient with leptospirosis, and he is known in the region for being an excellent vet. I was pointed in his direction by a vet student, and if I was for all conventional medicine, I'd still be with him (he didn't seem to keen on holistic medicine when I asked him). But my dog proved to me that sometimes a blend of mother nature and conventional is what will get a patient back to good health. Also in the office is Dr. White - a few years back, Albi got really bad diarrhea from eating a hot dog at an outdoor party, and he was very good. He helped explain what was going on with him, what the meds were and why, and then he took the time to show us how to taper the rice and chicken mix we had to put him on. So overall, you had a good chance with whomever you get here.

Canine Behavioral Services helped my German Shepherd Dog, Gunny, lose weight starting with a 2…read moremonth stay at their facility. While there, he was able to socialize with other dogs (other than my pack) and people which he wasn't getting at home as I live in the woods, so to speak. Gunny returned with a renewed spirit, more energetic and social and walked easier on leash without so much pulling. Canine Behavioral Services continues to work around my schedule with weekly visits to teach us humans how to properly interact with our pets and to teach us what they're saying. If you have any issues with your dog, whether it be pulling on leash, weight problems, anti-socialization, aggressiveness, etc, I highly recommend Canine Behavioral Services as your solution!

After the 6-week intensive training program (which included private and group lessons), he was completely different. And adding several weeks of canine camp helped us and him hold onto his progress.
