Maggie

What was important to you when looking for a puppy?: We were originally looking for a Golden Doodle and then discovered Cheristone Doodles and the gorgeous Irish Doodles. The minute we saw those puppy photos we wanted to explore the Irish Doodles more. Finding a quality breeder who we could feel safe was rearing puppies in a positive environment and was providing health checks and quality parents was also important.

How did Cheristone Doodles tick your boxes?: Cheristone Doodles ticked all the boxes. We knew from the outset that Becky was a highly experienced breeder who went to enormous effort to raise the puppies in a happy home environment, ensuring the Mum (Peggy) was also being looked after at all times. I think all the nurturing and development that has been done with the puppies has made it easier for them to settle into their new homes.

What were your favourite things about the process?: The weekly updates on the puppies' development was great, to see how they were doing, see photos and hear what they had done that week. The professional quality of the documents on the puppy site were also helpful, as was all the advice that Becky gave. Coming to choose our puppy was very exciting and we were so surprised to be given a choice of puppies although we would have been delighted with any of them. The photos and videos were very important as we were no. 8 on the list of 8 so seeing that all the puppies were equally gorgeous was very reassuring to us.

How do you feel about your puppy?: We adore Maggie. She is such a character. Becky had mentioned that Maggie takes everything in her stride and that is definitely the case. She has settled in really quickly and is bringing us so much joy. She has been out in the car, met friends' dogs and has not been phased by anything. She was very relaxed at the vets also.

Is there anything else we could do?: Can't think of anything. Becky is so professional, goes the extra mile, is informative and caring. It is clear to see that all the puppies were so well looked after and were all very happy puppies.

Anything else you'd like to tell us: We have loved the whole experience from start to finish and are so pleased we found Becky. We are delighted to have a puppy in our home again. It has brought the house to life again and we are loving it.
