TJ

Puppy's name: TJ

What was important to you when looking for a puppy?: TJ was our first puppy, so we were looking for a family-run breeder with a lot of experience to give them the best start so that the transition into the home was as easy as possible.

How did Cheristone Doodles tick your boxes?: Becky clearly cares deeply about her puppies and the website gave lots of detail about the process, previous litters and the thought that goes into preparing them best for the wider world.

What were your favourite things about the process?: The facebook group is great to see how other dogs from previous litters progress and build a sense of community, and the weekly updates of each litter from birth were excellent. The puppyhub website was super useful to make it easy to buy the right stuff, and provide other guidance about raising the puppy.

How do you feel about your puppy?: TJ has been everything we could have asked for so far. She's super friendly to everyone, is totally unfussed with every stimulation she encounters (exploring the wider world, loud noises, grooming, vets, ...), was potty-trained and crate-trained from the moment she arrived, and has an absolutely beautiful coat.

Is there anything else we could do?: The website already includes some photos of previous litters' puppies, but potentially what could have been useful is for every previous litter photos of each of the puppies at 8 weeks and 1 year old, just to make it easier to browse what's the typical outcome might look like.
