Finley’s family writes

Willow & Brinkley’s 2022 litter

This dog is unbelievable. He has settled down from a lively fun loving sometimes naughty puppy into a very well behaved teenager.

Finley is about 65 pounds and we feel has slowed down in his growth height but we know he will fill out nicely in the next few months. He stops traffic with his handsomeness on our daily walks. We take him to a conservation area in Goodwood called Kettle Pond daily where he runs like a deer. He loves when I hide and he has to seek me out.

Finley is fantastic with other dogs and backs away from any aggressive older dogs which we are very happy about. He is very intelligent and has learned to come when called, sit on command and wants to please. We tell him constantly good boy, and he responds to the word bad when about to grab garbage or not pay attention if he needs to.

The puppy stages are over thankfully but our ball chasing Finley surely will be our playful guy and we love him beyond. He’s Herb’s buddy too and loves to snuggle a watch a good movie…on the couch because we chose to let him. 

Thanking you and your family for raising this amazing pet that is now part of our home.

Ruska & Tulo’s 2021 litter

Twix is a very sweet pup. We’re so thankful for his calm and snuggly nature. He’s adapted to the family perfectly. He can cuddle up with the teenagers to watch movies and can hustle and bustle with the 5year old – no problem! He’s a smart boy, who understands both English and Spanish commands!  He’s been such a wonderful addition to the family.💕 

Cheers!

Ellie & Brinkley’s 2021 litter

We were very lucky to find L.A. Doodles when we were searching for a Goldendoodle for our son. Our Cleo is a joy to be around. She is gentle and loving and gets along with humans as well as dogs. The photos and videos we received while waiting for our puppy made us feel as though we were part of her life from the day she was born. Laurie-Anne has also been very kind and generous with her time to respond to our many questions before and after picking up this wonderful addition to our family. 

Thank you, Laurie-Anne & L.A. Doodles

Ellie & Brinkley’s 2021 litter

We can’t recommend Laurie-Anne enough!! She is so lovely, always quick to respond to any questions, and most importantly – you can tell that she loves these puppies! The best part for us, was being able to read the latest blog posts and videos, which she posts very regularly. It made us feel so involved in the whole experience and brought us excitement as we (not so patiently) waited for our newest family member. 

Our dog Kaia is truly the greatest thing that has happened to our family. We call her our angel; she has brought us so much joy and brings our family close together. She learned so fast and was such a calm dog even as a young puppy. She follows us everywhere and is also the biggest snuggler!! If you sit down, she will be right behind you to sit right on top of you!! We have been so amazed with Kaia, that we decided we need another one from Laurie-Anne 🙂

Tobi

Tobi’s family writes

Ellie & Brinkley’s 2021 litter

We were so lucky to find L.A. Doodles on the web when I was searching for a Golden Doodle puppy. L.A. Doodles is not a typical breeder; the puppies are raised inside their home from their bedroom to the main floor kitchen. You can tell the love and passion that Laurie-Anne and Tom have for their puppies after speaking and meeting with them. Tobi is an intelligent puppy; he fits in very well with his older brother Shadow (our 12 years old Golden Doodle) and was house trained very quickly. Everyone that met Tobi immediately fell in love with him. I brought him to my office a couple of times and all the staffs just loves him. 

Thank you Laurie-Anne and Tom for giving us such a wonderful puppy!

Bella’s family writes

Ruska & Tulo’s 2021 litter

We got our baby Bella almost a year ago from L.A. Doodles after doing a long research. Bella is from Ruska and Tulo’s 2021 litter. Bella is a fantastic dog. She has an amazing temperament. She is affectionate, energetic, smart, loyal, gentle, patient and calm. She is great around other dogs and is so affectionate with everyone that she meets. She loves food, loves to play, enjoys going on walks and running. She loves to cuddle. Bella has been an amazing addition to the family. We could not ask for a better dog. It’s been a blessing to have Bella in our family. Bella is currently 55lbs and will be turning 1 years old on January 31, 2022. We have gotten so many compliments about what a beautiful and great dog Bella is. We are so happy that we were able to meet a breeder (Laurie-Anne) who is so knowledgeable, helpful, and patient. She answered all of our questions and gave us so much information/advice. Laurie-Anne has been so helpful throughout the whole process, and we keep in touch even to this date. We love her blog posts and videos. It’s truly nice to have the families who are adopting a puppy to be involved in the whole experience while waiting to bring home their newest furry family member. It brought the whole family joy and excitement every time we saw the latest blog posts and videos. She truly cares so much about her dogs and is always willing to help. Laurie-Anne does a lot of work to ensure the puppies are well taken care of before they go home to their forever families. We knew right away that we were buying a pup from a reputable breeder. The puppies were well taken care.  I highly recommend L.A. Doodles to anyone who is looking to get a Goldendoodle. You will never be disappointed, we certainly aren’t! Thank you, Laurie-Anne, for the joy you have brought into our home and thank you for being such an amazing person and breeder. You have blessed us with a very special furry family member. 

Grayson’s family writes

Ellie & Brinkley’s 2021 litter

If you are looking for a goldendoodle I can’t think of a better breeder than Laurie-Anne. From my first inquiry until picking up my boy she was so involved with the puppies and future parents. Soon as the pups were born, I was informed and shown all the pups of mom Ellie who resided in the bedroom until graduation to the main floor. Every week Laurie-Anne would post weekly how the pups were doing and what milestones they were at. She also would have different toys and items to mentally stimulate the puppies.  Weather permitting they would be outside to learn and explore. When the eight weeks were up and it came time to pick a puppy Laurie -Anne and Tom were so kind and let us see a few of the pups I was interested in and answered any questions we had. My boy Grayson is such a good dog (most of the time ..lol)  and was so easy to train. In the ten months that we have had him he can sit, stay, give a paw, come and touch either by oral commands or hand signals . I know the great start in life was attributed to all the hard work that was put into his first eight weeks. To have a healthy, happy, confident dog who loves everything from overnights at the grandchildren houses, to hikes in the woods, and his dog friends,

Thanks Laurie-Anne and Tom for the great pup and great experience.

Willow’s family writes

Ruska & Tulo’s 2021 litter

As a kid, I was never allowed to have a dog,  but was fortunate enough to have a lot of friends with dogs that I was lucky enough to spend time with over the years.  
My daughter & I decided it was time to have furry friends of our own and were advised to look for a reputable breeder. 
Her boyfriend and her do great research & lived up to their reputations once again when they found L.A. Doodles. 
As a first time dog owner my experience with L.A. Doodles has been second to none! 
Laurie-Anne & her family leave no stone unturned in the caring of their sweet puppies. They take care of all their medical needs, offer a warm & loving home environment and all the TLC a new puppy needs. You  can be certain you’ll walk away with a well cared puppy that was born into a safe & loving home. 
Our girl Willow will be 1 year old Jan 31st. The joy she has added to our home is beyond words & we can’t imagine our life without her. “ Dogs leave paw prints on our hearts” 🐾💝No truer words were ever spoken.

Thank you Laurie-Anne!!

Maggie’s family writes

Ruska & Tulo’s 2020 litter

Maggie is doing great. Her first day she was certainly nervous and shy but since then she has settled in very well.  She loves to play with our daughter Sophia and Sophia just loves her!  We are working hard on potty training, she has had a few accidents in the house but overall she is doing great and has even started to nose the back door  to ask to go out. We couldn’t be happier with Maggie and just want to thank you again for all that you did with her before we brought her home. 

Millie’s family writes

Ruska & Tulo’s 2020 litter

Thanks so much for your email and for providing such a great start for Millie!! She has been such a great addition to our family!  We celebrated her first birthday yesterday with a handmade birthday crown made by Camryn and some toys and treats. I’ve included some pics of the marvellous Miss Millie Maisie . Hope you and your family and pups are all doing well through this ever-evolving pandemic!

Thank you again for providing such a nurturing and wonderful home for the pups.

Warm regards

Percy’s family writes

Ellie & Brinkley’s 2020 litter

Percy is fantastic – he’s a sweetheart love bug who likes to steal socks and kleenex every chance he gets.  We couldn’t have asked for a smarter, friendlier, more fun-loving companion.  He loves attention and company, going on walks in the woods, and chewing on bully sticks.
I have attached some pictures, please enjoy and use them as you see fit.  If you need any others – we have plenty!
We love him, everyone who meets him loves him.

We can’t thank you enough for giving us such a wonderful pet.

TeeJay’s family writes

Ruska & Tulo’s 2019 litter

Thank you so much for our beautiful TeeJay. She is the most loving, fun and intelligent dog, and has completed our family. She and our son are amazing companions and she is my best buddy. She is so social, loves all people and all animals (even birds and flies).  She is the perfect addition to our family and we thank you so much for creating such a loving and nurturing start of life for her. 

We want to thank your family for our best friend.

Venus’ family writes

Ruska & Tulo’s 2019 litter

Venus is still the same dog as you remember her, very adventurous and hard headed, but she is always the light of our day. There is never a dull moment with her around. Our family thinks that as well because the first thing they say when she is not around is “where is Venus”. She is also very easy to train as you said she would be, and I think your way of raising her actually helped us train her to go outside to do her business, due to how frequent you brought the puppies out. Venus is also our alarm system for anytime someone walks in front of our house she would bark, and also if we over sleep she would wake us up with a bark letting us know she needs to go out.  She has also grown accustom to a spot on the couch, and if your in it you will get sat on. All we want to say is thank you for being who you are and how much you care for them. You did such a great job that my wife is thinking of getting another dog from you.

Ruska & Tulo’s 2019 litter

Just wanted to send you some pictures of our little dood❤ He is settled so well into our family and we’re so happy to have him! He also has an Instagram as well if you wanted to stay up to date as he grows! 
We regularly get so many compliments on how beautiful and well behaved he is for a puppy! Little guy already has Sit, Stay, Down, and Come all sorted👍

Suzie’s family writes

Ruska & Tulo’s 2019 litter

Orange puppy, Suzie is getting so big now weighing 41 lbs.  During this pandemic she has been a God send, giving lots of love and comfort to the whole family. As a nurse working on the front line at a downtown hospital, she is the only one I dare safely hug and kiss.  When she returns home from a walk with the boys, she jumps up in my knee and showers me with love and kisses, a very large lap dog LOL. Training her has been relatively easy with the only problem being her jumping up when excited, very similar to the boys in their toddler years.  Can’t wait to have her groomed, but for right now she looks like a big teddy bear. The whole neighbourhood loves her.

Molly’s family writes

Ruska & Tulo’s 2019 litter

Molly has been settling in great to her new home. She loves her new bed and is already sleeping through the night very well! She hasn’t had any accidents and is doing her business on the leash well. She loves playing with all of her toys – especially the elephant and her “Starbarks”! LOL Thanks for all you have done to help with the training – so far so good! We are enjoying having the new addition to our family!

Harley’s family writes

Ruska & Tulo’s 2018 litter

We can’t thank you enough for raising “Harley” and doing such an amazing job of bringing him along to the point where we were able to bring him home and see all the time and effort you put into the first few months of his life, with your family. We love him, dearly, and so does everyone in the neighbourhood who meets him. They absolutely adore him, as do my children and all my grandchildren!

Lennon’s family writes

Ruska & Tulo’s 2018 litter

Lennon is such an amazing dog. From the first night she came home she was pretty much sleeping through the night and we owe that to her great upbringing. She is a very smart loving dog, eager to meet all people and dogs in sight. Lennon could play all day or snuggle all day, just as long as she’s right beside someone she’s a happy dog.

Skylo’s family writes

Ruska & Tulo’s 2018 litter

Once upon a time, we were a small family of four, looking for a furry 4-legged friend to bring into our pack.  Then all of a sudden, we found Laurie-Anne and her troop!  What a delight she was!  Honest, caring, professional and easy to deal with.  Now our family has grown with a new Golden-Doodle, named Skylo.  He is a wonderful 11 month old, pup who has such a good nature.  Great with dogs, cats, kids and adults!  He is such a calm boy most of the time but can tumble around with our 8 year old son and 10 year old daughter.  Honestly, he is a fundamentally good dog and we can’t imagine our lives without him.  And Laurie-Anne and her pack have become a wonderful part of our story.  

Yellow girl Shelby

Shelby’s family writes

Ruska & Tulo’s 2018 litter

John and I wanted to thank you for your hard work with the puppies, it definitely showed when we brought Shelby home. It was easy to house train her because you have done the hard part. Just wanted to tell you that we love Shelby and her personality, her gentleness with the grand kids it’s so nice to see and you are right, “House is not a home without a dog“.

Thank you Laurie-Anne and Tom
