Woodlot Companions Reviews

Our experience with Woodlot Companions was amazing! They were always there to answer questions, send us pictures and videos. I’m extremely pleased with them and would definitely contact them if I ever wanted to add to our family again. 🙂

2 months ago we brought home sweet Aria, a beautiful English cream golden retriever. Aria is such a good pup, she is smart and a fast learner. She immediately adjusted to her crate, was able to follow some basic commands after just a few days, and after about one month hardly had any potty accidents at home. She’s friendly and loving, has a good temperament, and she brought so much joy to our lives! Woodlot companions were wonderful! Gladys was so helpful from the first contact. We are first timers and Gladys walked me through the process and answered every question. She welcomed a visit and showed me other pups and the parents. All the dogs seemed happy and healthy and very well taken care of! Gladys even followed up a couple of times just to ask how the adjustment is going and how was the vet visit. Overall, we had a great experience with Woodlot and I highly recommend them if you’re looking for a great and healthy pup. We can’t thank you enough for our sweet Aria.

We got Pepper (Khloe) back in February. Nine months and a newborn baby later, she’s the best puppy we could ever ask for. She’s got the best disposition, sweetest personality and she’s such a fast learner. Everywhere we go, we are constantly getting questions or compliments on her. Gladys kept in constant contact with us, answering questions, sending videos and she was so pleasant to work with. We highly recommend Woodlot companions, we know the pups are treated with a whole lot of love before going to their forever homes. The next pomsky we get will definitely be from them again.

We had such a great experience with woodlot companions! Our English Cream has been the perfect addition to our family! The process was smooth, with weekly updates, pictures, and videos. Any time I contacted the breeders, I received a prompt response. Millie (Biscuit) was ready to go December 3rd, but the breeders kept her an additional 3 weeks so that we could surprise our kids Christmas morning. What a magical holiday!!

2nd pup from Gladys and her crew. I live in northern California, so a flight was involved. Professional all the way. 1st was English cream Retriever and now a Mini Sheepadoodle. Great smart dogs. Easy training eager pups. Wonder what we may add to the collection next. Thanks Woodlot.

We got our Goberian puppy a year ago and he’s been an absolute doll. He’s just what was expected, the property and family are beautiful and the communication from them is amazing. Thank you for providing our family with such a loving dog.

I purchased my mini sheepadoodle from Gladys in November and it was the best experience. She responded the same day and immediately scheduled a call with me. Her team set me up with a puppy that fit all our needs. Blu is now 6 months old and is full of love! He is friendly, sweet, great with kids and very handsome. Every time we walk him on the street people stop us and admire his beautiful blue eye! I look forward to buying more puppies from Gladys!

I cant thank you guys enough for such a wonderful little pup!! You all have been amazing! The videos, quick responses, any concerns to ease my mind etc. And meeting my little guy ,you can tell how much time you put into your puppies. Such sweet personalities, socialized and and full of love!! Thank you so much for this amazing little guy!!!

We just brought home our Goberian puppy and safe to say we are in love. She is super friendly and cuddly with the prettiest blue eyes and is so good with our kids. She gets along well with our golden too! The breeders shared video with us so we could watch her grow while we anxiously awaited brining her home. They live on a beautiful piece of land in Ohio and were so easy to work with. Highly recommend!

Got our English Cream Golden about 3 weeks ago and couldn’t be happier. Drove all the way from the suburbs of Chicago and was well worth it. Communication was great, received videos of our puppy and were updated about vet check. Overall great experience at Woodlot Companions, very happy we found them- our pup is amazing!

I’ve had dogs my entire life but my family would always get them from local breeders in CA. This is was my first time getting a dog out of state from a breeder I knew nothing about but I have to tell you our family couldn’t be happier! When we saw little “Lakers” face, now Banksy we knew we had to have him join our family. When I called and spoke to Gladys she was an absolute delight. She was patient and thorough and you could tell she’s been doing this for some time. She never pressured me at any point and welcomed me to even have a conversation with Kimberly their pet behavior specialist. I spoke to Kimberly who made sure this sheepadoodle was going to be the right fit. She described his personality and told me what to expect. They made me very comfortable in my decision to get the dog. The transportation of the dog to CA was easy and Gladys kept me informed. He arrived as healthy and happy as can be, and he’s one of the cutest sheepadoodle puppies I have ever seen! Woodlot Companions is the way to go!

Our experience with Woodlot Companions was incredible! We live out of state but Gladys was so kind and went above and beyond to make sure all our questions were answered. She kept us informed and sent us photos and videos of our pup each week. Everyone we meet says that he is the best looking dog they have ever seen and they are right! Our pup is a wonderful addition to our family and we will absolutely return once we are ready for another. We would most definitely recommend Woodlot Companions!!

I brought my English Cream Golden Retriever baby girl, Visenya (was Laine) home about 2 weeks ago. My husband & I were just discussing how extremely intelligent she is…she knows “leave it”, “sit”, “get your toy” & of course, “no” “ah-ah” etc. We have an English Cream Lab and he is smart, but Visenya is BRILLIANT, once or twice and she has it! Not only that, but Gladys works with and KNOWS her babies! The description is accurate. It is OBVIOUS, when you bring home a Woodlot Companion, that they are bred to be exactly that. They are familiar with having their feet, ears etc touched… familiar with a family environment and responsive to people… clearly NOT “kennel babies” this is SO important in puppy rearing & is underestimated by even the best breeders…but not by Woodlot. I cannot recommend Gladys & Merlin strongly enough, I have shown dogs of many breeds, all my life & have never brought home a puppy so young that has been so we’ll prepared for it’s new home. I do not give this recommendation lightly and every word is from the heart. If you have hesitated, hesitate no longer. Contact Woodlot, you will not be sorry. They are kind and open and breed amazing dogs. You can trust them. – Heather T

We purchased Hank as a surprise for our boys in California. He has been so gentle, sweet and just a part of our family. We had a good experience with the breeder answering our questions to fly him to LAX. We couldn’t ask for a better dog!

Our family had been looking for a Mini Bernedoodle for over a year. My husband came across Woodlot Companions and we immediately fell in love with (Jimmi), what we hoped to be our future puppy. We reached out to Gladys and she was more than happy to answer all of our questions. Next, we caught a flight to Cleveland, rented a car, and drove to meet our new puppy, Maverick. He was such a happy puppy. Very playful and loving at the same time. We had an 11 hour drive ahead of us to get home. He was a dream in the car. We had potty and stretch breaks every 2-3 hours. Otherwise, he slept the entire trip. Gladys checked in on us the next day to make sure we made it home safely. And has continued to do so every so often. We of course can’t help but send her an occasional picture to let her know how happy we are with Maverick. He is now 4 months old and so full of personality. He greets us with sloppy kisses the moment any of us gets home. He has brought a lot of joy and laughter to our household. A big thanks to Gladys and her family for making our experience so rewarding.
