I sent the photo to them and asked why price was suddenly went up. They said to me some excuses. But I've had the same experiences through this breeder before. I felt ripped off the price again. They know that I am ready to make a deposit on the puppy, but suddenly they've stopped to answer about my serious questions. I asked them these questions, if the puppy has been whelped and raised in the breeder's house (because I've never seen the puppy on their IG), if they own both parents, if the puppy has been vet checked (because the puppy is already ready to go home), if the puppy has no parasites or any health issues. But they've never responded to me. They could answer my questions if they had only 3 minutes, but they disappeared. Instead of answering my questions, they've sent me nasty messages right after I've left my review on Yelp. They are unprofessional people. They have no problem to say these nasty words to the people who wanted to reserve on their puppy. They've completely destroyed my feelings. Everything I said on Yelp was truth. ( I've edited my review of this breeder with my photo to prove on Yelp what was actually going on).

I spent $4200 on my puppy and now the surgery will cost $8k. Insurance won't cover since I'm he was born with it. This breeder guaranteed exceptional health for all their puppies.

The Bravos were incredibly kind, accommodating, and truly cared about making the transition as smooth as possible for both us and Wanda. They even went above and beyond by letting us borrow a cage while we were in between setups, which made things so much easier. It's clear how much love and attention they give their dogs, and knowledgeable about their dog breed. We absolutely adore her and are so grateful to the Bravo family for bringing her into our lives. We couldn't recommend them more and tell everyone that asks hands down the best!

You can tell she genuinely cares about her dogs, and wants the best for them, even after they go to their new homes. It is wonderful to work with someone who doesn't just try to sell you a puppy but really cares and is there every step of the way. As a first-time puppy owner, she has helped me a lot. I feel I have saved a lot of money and stress by reaching out to her first for guidance before running straight to the vet. I've reached out to her numerous times in the month since I've had my puppy and she has responded immediately and gave me guidance and any advice I need. My puppy came home already crate trained and potty trained. He knew some basic commands. He is such a well-behaved, loving little pup, you can tell he was raised with so much care, love, and attention. Not only was Margie incredibly helpful when I first got my puppy but she has been great for hosting my pup when I travel. I know my dog is safe and happy when he's with Margie and her family. Highly recommend her!

After landing on a Havanese (after some deep searching for the best breed for myself and my…read morefamily), I found Marti of Harris Havanese in Redondo Beach. Choosing Marti was easily the best choice I could have ever made and I am forever a client of Marti's. I will never look elsewhere when adopting my next Havanese (or a breed that isn't a Havanese, for that matter). I adopted Cookie, formally Cartier, from the "C" litter. From our first phone call in Fall 2024, Marti was attentive to the details of my life and what kind of puppy temperament would be best fit for my lifestyle. She is kind, SO communicative, and the most detail-oriented, loving, and caring person/breeder. Seeing how loved these puppies are far before they are even born was constant reassurance that I made the best choice. I would receive multiple texts/pictures/videos a day when Cookie was born. So anxious and excited to get my puppy, Marti answered all of my questions and was always so reassuring and kind. Cookie came to me loving her crate (this was a game changer), being exposed to so many sights and sounds (her groomer says she is better behaved than adult dogs she's been grooming for years ), and is the epitome of a perfect puppy and I truly owe it all to Marti because she set Cookie (and the rest of her litter) up for complete success. Everyone in my life is so surprised when they hear how young Cookie is because she is truly so well behaved, has a great sense of independence, and loves to just hang with our crew. Thank you to Marti and Gracie for loving these puppies with your whole heart. You both feel like family and I cannot express my gratitude for how you raised little Cookie.

After my companion pup of 12 years passed away, I knew I wanted another pup in our lives. After doing research on different types of breeds I fell in love with the miniature Goldendoodle breed. Little did I know that during Covid everyone wanted to adopt a new puppy! Every breeder in California had long waitlists of over a year! I did find breeders out of state but I did not find the idea of shipping a new puppy ideal. I wanted a local breeder with experience whom I can see face to face. Luckily in my exhaustive search I found Tropico Kennels! Lisa was the only breeder I found that had availability and that did not require for me to sign up for a lengthy waitlist and submit a deposit before the puppy was born. I found it ludicrous to pay a large deposit having no idea what the puppy will even look like! I kept checking the website regularly to see when new pups were being born. The website has a lot of useful and valuable information about the process of adopting and welcoming a new Goldendoodle puppy. Once pictures were posted online of the newborn pup I was interested in, I submitted my interest form. Lisa contacted me right away and I paid my deposit. Lisa worked with me in regards of accepted payment forms for deposit and I found her to be very knowledgeable and friendly. The website provided all the details I needed : I knew exactly when my pup would come home, expected weight, parent info, type (F1B, F1BB etc), shedding info, and the pictures of the newborn puppies. I do wish I had more communication from Lisa in terms of pictures and details as the puppy was growing (I was obsessed) but I knew she was busy and in the end I got my perfect dream puppy. When it was time to pick up my baby, I drove to Lisa's beautiful ranch and her husband was friendly and nice when delivering the dog to me. All in all I would recommend this breeder for anyone looking for a gorgeous Goldendoodle pup!

I'm helping my mom do research because she's wanting a golden doodle pup, I see this place was in…read morethe area and good reviews. I decide to call and a older woman picks up I say hello good morning, who do I have the pleasure in speaking with? (I ask who it is I'm speaking with so that I can properly greet her ) she responds rudely& with an attitude "well you called me so you should know who I am" I say oh ok I do apologize but am I calling to Tropico kennels? She says yea. And then goes off on a rant that she doesn't answer her person phone often because she receives calls of people always trying to buy her house or sell her stupid shit. I said oh ok I understand but that was very unprofessional of you, I do not wish to purchase a dog off a business who doesn't know how to be professional or answer a phone call like a decent human being. So I then hung up. I would never speak to anyone that way regardless of the circumstances. Learn to be respectful and polite. Completely put me off and definitely will NOT EVER be buying a dog from this place. I'm editing my review because after a couple minutes my mom said she wanted to try and call to get information about the dogs. Because again my mom is interested in buying a puppy. So my mom calls says hello good morning I was wanting to get some information about the golden doodle puppies you might have. the same woman answers and says oh ok sure but can I call you back in a couple of minutes? My mom said sure not a problem and then the woman hung up. LITERALLY 1 minute goes by and I receive a message from this woman (I have attached a photo of the message) saying nice try! I did reply and then blocked her. Never in my life have I ever had an encounter like this. The woman then proceeds to call my mom back (I have attached a photo of the phone call as well that she called back) (as you can see she called back & the call lasted 14sec bc she was a COWARD & hung up) and say to her that she is not going to sell us any dog because I called and hung up on her, and that she should tell her daughter to not be a bitch. The woman proceeds to hang up. So I blocked her on both my mother & I's phone. Completely UNPROFESSIONAL and RUDE! We were only wanting information about the puppies! Which is why my mom insisted on her trying to call because she really wants a puppy. HORRIBLE experience!

There aren't enough words to express my eternal gratitude for Audree and Michael's Puppies! I first…read morecame into contact with them almost 10 years ago when I got Hershey (our Rottweiler who just turned 10 on 2/27/23) and then about a year later we got Noya (our Siberian Husky turning 9 on 10/31/23). When I came across their website I quickly realized that they were very knowledgeable with both breeds. I had done a bit of research before hand but having interacted with them allowed me to understand the breed even more. Hershey is 10 and going strong; I believe this is tightly attributed to her linage! Both Hershey and Noya are a very important part of our lives. My partner and I could not image life without them, they each have their own personality which was pretty much on point with what we were expecting based on the the information we were given about their parents. Would highly recommend Audree and Michael's Puppies to anyone!!

He was already 40 pounds at 7 months old! Something was obviously amiss. I got a DNA test done on him and he is mostly standard poodle and 5% komondor! No golden retriever at all! I didn't know what a komondor was and had to google- it's those dogs with dreads. I ordered another test from a different company and results were pretty much confirmed. I contacted the breeder and she said she didn't remember me or the puppy. I sent her old screenshots from our texts and the pics she had sent me before I picked him up. She then sent me dna profiles of a standard poodle and a golden retriever she said were his parents that were totally different from what she said before! After I told her that and about the dna results they ghosted me. I love my big baby doggy, but I'm disappointed he's not as small as expected because I wanted to travel with him and bring him aboard flights with me. My family is disappointed because they wanted part golden retriever. Also when I first picked him up and took him to vet to check him over he had worms. Giardia

She ripped me off but I don't even want to give it back to her to torture further. I will hopefully be able to get the proper care for this puppy and nurse it back to health. Just BEWARE!!! It is disgusting that someone would go to this length and torture a puppy for profit!!
