All of her dogs hang out in and around the main house and get regular checkups with the vet before anything is said or done. I can't wait to get a puppy from St Johns Country Labs!

Where do I start. We lost our Kota a 12 year old lab in March. I decided we needed another one and…read morestarted asking around. I was referred to Bonnie from a friend who purchased a lab from her in the past. While she seems a bit pricey, I can assure you her labs are worth EVERY penny they cost. My puppy is a Fox Red female, and talk about absolutely the best puppy. She has rules when you buy from her, and her quality of puppies is top notch. If you want a great puppy and lifelong friend, you have to buy a lab from her. Bonnie, you are a top notch breeder!!!

Edit: they typed up their prices yesterday after they read my review and they're effective. They…read moredid raise their prices. I can see why it took this much hassle for a strait answer and to get that answer on paper- This isn't a shelter. It's a pet store. The cost of kittens didn't go up 65 dollars each to justify this price tag because of "china" or tariffs or any comprehensive reasoning. 200 for 2 kittens???? Serious serious serious stretch. Unfortunately- the animals won't get adopted out at a rate they could and should be. Prices like this justify breeders! Are shelters supposed to profit? This says "profit". Thank you for generating a final price- but I have to question the fairness of what you're doing and why it took this inquisition to get it on paper only just yesterday. This price is now more expensive than what we were just quoted and is closer to the last two "mistakes". Was that punishment or what? I cannot recommend this place. They're inconsistent and didn't have official prices available until this unfolded. Tsk. This is ridiculous ladies. Regards ---------------------- A volunteer got back to me. Im aware that they have special events wherein prices GO DOWN but my adoptions haven't taken place during events. Still didn't get a straight answer but they want to talk to me about my review. I don't need to talk I just want a very simple answer. What is the current price ???? What is the current cost to adopt a cat ? Why can't anyone answer that????? Im asking for a number not an explanation. Just want to support a local shelter. Dont appreciate this hassle. First cat was 120 a year ago. Questioned about that you denied it and said 60 was the price despite the fact I already paid 120. April charged me 120. A second kitten was pushed at 100 - when I inquired about that on fb you corrected to 60 and INSISTED 100 was not the price. Inquiring since and you pushed again 100 most recently for a kitten. ladies. .... Post the price. On the register and on social media. Im giving you the solution. Post your regular prices next to your event prices to solve all potential miscommunication. Really appears like Youre pushing top dollar until confronted. Not good business. Regards

I wish I had a better review but unfortunately we purchased 2 Poms during Covid and while we…read moreabsolutely love them, they both have had their share of problems. Our white Pom has certainly had the worst of it. First I paid extra for her to be teacup and at this moment she weights over 14lbs. Very interesting because her half sister was supposed to be of average size and is only half her size. However the worst is that the white one suffers from so many health problems. From the start, she has suffered two luxating patellas with both of back legs. The doctor initially said to see if she grows out of it, but it appears to be getting worse as she gets older. Her legs often give out and she falls to the ground. However, even worse than that is an illness that we are unable to identify. She continues to gain weight, despite the fact that she does not eat as much as her sister. Fourteen points is very big for a Pom, especially what was supposed to be a teacup. She has also suffered from loose stool since the day she was born. Sometimes three or four times a week I have to bathe her after she goes to the bathroom. I have tried everything to help her. It's truly sad that she suffers so much and I can't exactly pinpoint what the cause is. We have tried 5 different vets to no avail. Her sister (sable) has over 10 missing teeth and struggles to chew. She also has problems with her back leg and we are hoping she doesn't need surgery. At this point, the girls are over three years old and part of the family however if I knew of these health issues prior I would have certainly looked for another breeder.

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!

I thought I had done research, but not enough. My puppy was (and still is advertised online) sold…read moreas a double Bernedoodle. He is not. He is a Bernedoodle bred to an Aussiedoodle. VERY different. We love him to death but definitely not what we thought we paid for. He is 50 lbs, unfurnished, and 100% Aussie traits. When the breeder was confronted she offered to take him back or a new puppy? What? He is a part of our family. Not a returnable item. After following this backyard breeder now I am finding more and more red flags. One is the high number of litters and the variety of litters. It appears zero thought is put into breeding other than "flavor of the week" doodle. Another is that a reputable local vet (who the breeders know) that We took our dogs to had zero idea they were breeding dogs. Huh?? I realize that I'm part of the problem as I bought into the trend, but please be aware. Realize you (like me) are paying for an extra cute mutt. Nothing can take that away!!

Daniel contacted us and asked very specific questions about the Goldendoodle we were looking for. Daniel's expertise allowed us to figure out exactly what we wanted. Daniel maintained communication with us and answered all our questions (there were MANY questions). Daniel gained our trust and we decided to "Reserve" one of their beautiful Goldendoodles. There was no pressure to purchase this specific Goldendoodle. That made us very comfortable meeting this Goldendoodle. Once we met this Goldendoodle, we were convinced he was well cared for, healthy and came from a loving home and environment. This was important for us. We instantly fell in love with Maui and decided on the spot he was a great addition to our family. Maui has adapted well to his new home. This is greatly due to him being socialized and partially potty and crate trained. It's helped out tremendously!! It was a great experience adopting Maui from Doodles Los Angeles! They will certainly get referrals from us!
