Woodlot Companions Reviews

Our sweet Mini Bernedoodle from Woodlot Companions is one year old today. Our experience with Gladys and her charming son, Merlin, was seamless and trouble-free. And our first year with our very healthy, very happy, and very smart girl has brought us nothing but joy and happiness. We highly recommend Woodlot Companions! Cathy
The children and I picked our English Cream Golden Retriever pup as a Christmas gift for my husband but wanted to wait for a spring litter. Woodlot Companions could not have made the process easier or have been more communicative. We were in contact throughout the wait for a litter birth that would work for us and they were incredibly gracious about answering any questions that we had. They kept us apprised with photos of the babies and videos. We worked with their very knowledgeable trainer to find the right fit for our active family. And it all went like clockwork, we got exactly the puppy we were hoping for! We picked up our pup Yaz (Laker) in late April and what an absolute delight it was to finally meet him. The meeting room was spotless and filled with toys and the owners were very generous with their time in letting us get to know him and make him comfortable with us before we left for a 13-hour drive away from the only home and family he had ever had known. From the very first minute, he has been a wonderful addition to our home! Our vet is very impressed with his health and his lineage is impeccable. Yaz (Laker) is such a sweetheart and totally gorgeous. We could not be more pleased with our experience with Woodlot and are hoping to return for a second companion pup in a year or so. Everywhere we take him, he is comfortable with people and other dogs, very inquisitive and so so smart. He is conquering every training hurdle with ease and is eager to learn more every day. If you are considering an English Cream Golden Retriever, this is definitely the kennel to talk to. Thank you so much Woodlot for this beautiful pup! We will be back! Luci & Larry Basso
Woodlot was great! I did a lot of research for our first Bernadoodle purchase and they were a wealth of knowledge! Their trainer gave me an in depth view of her opinion of Ruby and her disposition was exactly what she described. There were 2 other dogs at the airport (from other breeders) when we picked her up and their crates were nasty/stinky with shredded news paper, ours was good quality with food and water and a puppy pad, to me it’s the little things and attention to detail that make all the difference! Ruby’s a great puppy and I’m sure will be a great addition to our family! Jim
Our Starlord “Quill” ( Charlie) is 5 1/2 months old now and loved so much. He is everything and more than what we wanted in a Sheepadoodle! Suzanne
I had been looking for just the right Bernese Mountain Dog puppy to add to our clan for almost three years. I live in North Carolina and looked at numerous breeders in my area and surrounding states and was not satisfied at all with what I found. Too many red flags every time. THEN..I came across Woodlot Companions and saw a picture of a female Berner puppy named “Hazel” (now Jenna). It was love at first sight! I did my due diligence prior to my first phone call to Gladys and found no red flags at all. None. Upon speaking with Gladys the first time, I knew this was the one. She was so sweet, knowledgeable and helpful, I told my husband, I’m getting this puppy to get prepared. Jenna has been a blessing from day one. I drove to their home to pick her up and was very impressed with Gladys, Ray and the whole operation. Jenna got in the car, went to sleep and off we headed to North Carolina. She has been a blessing. Very smart, sweet, gentle and loving. Our two Cavies and she became immediate buddies. My vet, upon her first visit, told me she has never seen a better Berner in composition nor temperment. Now, at 6 mos, she has learned so many things, has been extremely easy to train and everyone loves her. It was meant to be~ I highly recommend this breeder and will go back to them if I am ever in the market for another puppy. These folks know their stuff and care about their animals. And I am forever in their debt! Pat
We received our mini Bernedoodle via Furry Trails Pet Transport with Jessica & her son, who were awesome, on July 13, 2022. We may have only had “Mardi” Gras for 2 weeks, but we are in love! She is so smart, social & eager to please. Gladys was a dream to work with in getting our puppy! I had been previously scammed by another “so called breeder” & was very leery about purchasing another puppy sight unseen. She made it so easy! It was worth going through what I did to get the right people & the right puppy! I would definitely go through Woodlot Companions again, as well as refer them to anyone who is looking to purchase a puppy. Thanks again & God Bless! Kimberly
We absolutely love our Goberian puppy! She is so sweet and loving. I would definitely recommend getting a puppy from Woodlot Companions! Travis
We added a Goberian to our family from Woodlot Companions at the end of March 2022 and he is absolutely a wonderful pup! We have never had this breed but had an idea of what to expect from research. Woodlot flew him to us which was a very simple process based on how they have things arranged. He arrived on time, in a clean, very nice carrier. We were headed on a vacation right around the time of our purchase so Woodlot was willing to hang onto him an additional 2 weeks. This meant when we got him he was a bit older(14 weeks) it was obvious they spent time with him because he would lay down to be pet! Has never jumped on us or our kiddos for attention. He is a great pup! Overall I can’t say enough good things about our experience! Rebecca
I adopted “Coral” from Woodlot Companions at the end of March 2021 (she was born 1/25/21). Her name is CharleeGirl now, and she is the sweetest, smartest, prettiest little girl. She has been very healthy, too. 😊🙏🤞 The process was sort of scary at first, because I live outside of Boston and she was in Ohio, so I didn’t get to meet her first, but after putting a deposit on-line late night, I received a text from Gladys nearly immediately. We talked the next day and after hearing her family’s story as to why they started breeding pups and how they are housed and cared for I couldn’t help but move forward. They seamlesly arranged delivery from Ohio TO MY FRONT DOOR 3 days later! 🤩 I had my pretty little girl on Wednesday! I was elated and the transportation co. they used was incredible, (A to Z Transportation) they even sent me pictures of her on her 2 day journey to me. l would highly recommend Woodlot Companions for an English Cream Golden Retriever, Charlee’s temperament is actually just as they described her on the website “CHILL, but likes to play hard when she plays” Thank you to Woodlot Companions, after loosing my Golden Retriever Bella a few weeks earlier it was so nice to have a new little one, and obviously if I am taking the time to write this review a year and a half after getting her you know it is all true. Just do it! 😂😉 I am so glad I did! Suzanne
We got our mini sheepadoodle October 2022 and couldn’t be happier with our little Bruno, formerly Daly 😁. Gladys was so sweet and helpful and we would give her the highest recommendation!! Lynn
Today is Odin’s 1st Birthday! What a great year he has had. He has learned so much and become such a popular staple in our neighborhood. He’s such a good boy! Mark
I trust these breeders completely. I now have purchased 2 English Creams from Woodlot, one in 2018 and the latest last year. They are beautiful and very healthy animals. I can’t be more pleased. Would like to point out that they are very knowledgeable and are there to answer all of your questions. I highly recommend this kennel. Brandi
To the folks at woodlot Companions, Back in June when we adopted Kelsi (Bernedoodle) you stated that you would like to hear from us about how she was doing. Well here we are at nine months old (26.9 lbs) and have nothing really to complain about. She had a very good start with socialization from you folks, gets along with very well with all of our family, children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Basically she has never seen another human that she did not like. She is true to “ALL” of the characteristics of her parents. She knows her name, is a bit stubborn at times (we call it selective hearing 😀) and will give you a paw when asked, will sit on command, rings a bell at the back door when she wants to go outside to do her thing and is about 90% trained to walk on a leash. She loves to play. Weather or other distractions prohibiting, she gets a one and a half mile walk every day. Somewhere in that pile of fur is a happy Kelsi, (she has ownership papers on Marvin) and “ALL” can be summed up with her bedtime prayer. The King-sized bed is soft and deep. I sleep right in the center groove, My human beings can hardly move. I trapped their legs, they’re tucked in tight, And here is where I pass the night. No one disturbs me or dares intrude, Till morning comes and “I want food!” I sneak up slowly to begin, And nibble on my humans chin. For morning’s here, it’s time to play, I always seem to get my way. So thank you lord, for giving me, These human persons that I see. The ones that hug me and holds me tight, And shares their bed with me at night. Amen Marvin
After reading some of the reviews already, I don’t think I can express how great my English cream retriever is (Cole). Woodlots were by far the easiest people to deal with and even has a delivery service that helped me save time and money. Some of my other friends have had some health issues with other breeders but Cole hasn’t had 1 after a year. Best people, best price, best puppies. Alana
