Testimonies

 We feel so fortunate to be Doodle MAINEia’s  first dog family and our experience was better than we could have ever anticipated. Each step of the process was thorough and well communicated, Elizabeth and Melissa were a pleasure to work with and their detailed puppy curriculum was top notch. I like to say our puppy “came with the sit feature,” which still impresses me to this day!  Our puppy is beautiful, healthy, happy and impresses all….including our vet!  I would recommend Doodle MAINEia to anyone interested in a new doodle puppy.

My boyfriend and I had the pleasure of bringing our puppy, Marley, from Doodle MAINEia’s first litter into our home. I hope that they can eventually branch out into a couple more “doodle” mixes because I would love to continue using them as a breeder.  From before the puppies are even born to after they go home, Doodle MAINEia has given me the best breeder experience I’ve ever had. Melissa and Elizabeth keep all the families updated almost every day on different activities and milestones the puppies were participating in.  The education the puppies get throughout their two months before getting picked up was the thing that stood out the most to me.  Melissa and Elizabeth had started them on potty training and crate training as well as manners and really anything else you can think of.  Pick up day was amazing as well, there was a basket for each family taking home a puppy which was filled with their baby blanket, a couple toys, food, magnet with their puppy picture, all the records and information Doodle MAINEia had, etc.  Most breeders lose touch after pick-up, but Melissa and Elizabeth are still actively involved, answering questions posted on our family Facebook page, and commenting on cute pictures. They really love what they do and it is so apparent.  The 6 hour round trip was well worth it.

If you are interested in getting a doodle, look no further. Elizabeth and Melissa were fabulous to work with. They are knowledgeable, experienced and truly love what they do. From the beginning, they really wanted to get to know you and your background which was a great sign. Throughout the waiting process of getting our puppy, they were able to answer any questions we had and were extremely responsive.  They captured weekly photos and videos of the puppies via social media and had a private puppy page for you to view as well which was really great. Our puppy came crate trained and even was able to sit before each meal at only 8 weeks of age. On puppy pickup day they spent an entire hour with my husband and I. Answered any further questions we had, and left us with lots of goodies. This all made our day home so much more smoother and stress free than anticipated. We were very pleased with the outcome and truly enjoyed working with Elizabeth and Melissa. I highly recommend Doodle MAINEia to anyone looking for a well rounded, beautiful, and healthy puppy!

We couldn’t recommend Doodle MAINEia more especially for first time dog owners. My family and I had no expectations going in to the process of adopting a Goldendoodle and didn’t know what questions to ask. Right from the start, both Elizabeth and Melissa spent a good amount of time talking to us about the process, what to expect and asked great questions of us to find a mutual understanding of expectations. Through the waiting process of the puppies to arrive, coupled with the waiting time to actually meet the puppies, we were communicated with regularly and updated with progress. Sprinkled in between communication about the specifics of the puppies, we were sent information on a virtual dog trainer and pet insurance to keep us busy. Prior to pick up day, we spent time watching the individual evaluations and daily or weekly pictures and or videos of puppies. On puppy pick up day, we knew exactly the puppy we wanted to adopt and were met with validation and extra evaluation information which really solidified our decision. Melissa and Elizabeth were knowledgeable and you could instantly see how much time and effort they put in to preparing the puppies to go home to their forever homes. the training they started was impressive and for first time dog owners like us, it has been extremely helpful. The temperament  and condition of our pup is amazing and we/re forever grateful. At the first vet appointment the veterinarian commented on how great of a dog we had and that was saying a lot, given how many puppies she’d seen during the pandemic. For a great experience, look no further. Thank you Melissa and Elizabeth for setting us all up for a gratifying special experience.

Our experience was amazing with Doodle MAINEia! We are so happy we chose to get our puppy from Melissa and Elizabeth. They both love and care for the puppies and have made it easy for our puppy to transition into our home.  We couldn’t be happier with our decision!!! I would most definitely get a puppy from them in the future.

 

~Mike Argiro & Abby Meuse,  Hingham, Massachusetts

We had an amazing experience with Doodle MAINEia! We always felt we were involved in the puppies lives before they came home with updates and lots of helpful tips and tricks. Our puppy is doing so well from his early exposure and training he received with Melissa and Elizabeth. Definitely recommend Doodle MAINEia as a breeder-they are kind, professional, knowledgable, and truly love their dogs!

Dear Doodle MAINEia, AKA Elizabeth and Melissa

Thank you so much for helping our family be complete with the addition of our new puppy Shakespeare prior known as Mr. Bennett from Birdie Jane’s litter.  From the very beginning to the very end, the entire process was made easy and we were always provided with wonderful communication as well as videos of how the puppies were doing and growing. All of their puppies were healthy, and well socialized.  The take home process was smooth and our puppy already had a head start on feeling comfortable in the crate, potty training and overall feeling less anxious as he had been exposed  to quite a good amount of things and experiences. Our vet found our puppy healthy and we want to thank Elizabeth and Melissa for their time in providing us with all the information needed for a safe transition for our puppy.  If you are looking for a Bernedoodle puppy,  you will be left pleased and amazed with the hard work and effort that Melissa and Elizabeth place on each and every one of their pups.

 

~Panagopoulos Family,  Natick, Massachusetts

Our experience with Doodle MAINEia was fantastic! Melissa and Elizabeth have so much knowledge about all the doodles and were happy to answer all of our questions. We were so impressed with how much exposure to sounds, sights, and environments the puppies had-our mini Bernedoodle was not bothered at all by the fireworks and loves to go swimming!  The evaluations that they provide before getting to meet the puppies were super helpful and detailed.  We definitely recommend Doodle MAINEia to anyone looking to add a sweet new pup to their family.

 

~ Haynes Family, Norway, Maine

I have nothing but high praises for my experiece with Doodle MAINEia. Both Melissa and Elizabeth took the time to answer all of my questions, and supply me with information about their reputable practice. They go the extra mile with all of their pups. I have a 9 week old Goldendoodle, that is as smart as a 2-3 month old pup. It is obvious her pedigree and early upbringing was spot on. Worth the year plus wait.

~Deborah Miller,  Exeter, New Hampshire

Doodle MAINEia was recommended to us by our vet which made us comfortable right out of the gate.  However, it was our initial contact and conversations with Melissa and Elizabeth which sealed the deal. The time they take to get to know you, your experience and expectations really show how passionate they are about what they do.  Communication throughout the process exceeded our expectations. From the initial phone call letting us know the pups had been born, to the private Facebook page and email updates. Communication was frequent and 100 % transparent. Our experience on adoption day was equally as fabulous.  The pups were all so healthy and cute, it made it difficult to choose.  Melissa and Elizabeth were extremely patient and helped us make the perfect choice for our family.  We would highly recommend  Doodle MAINEia to anyone thinking of adding a fur baby to their family.

~Webb Family, Arundel, Maine

Melissa and Elizabeth were fantastic. We had been looking for another dog for over a year when my vet actually suggested them. I started to read about Bernedoodles, looked at their website and decided to go for it.  It was also important to me that I get a dog from a responsible breeder and that is 100% true for Doodle MAINEia. They LOVE all of their dogs so much and make sure that all puppies go to good homes.

The entire process was so great!! They were super informative about every step of the process and even after we brought our puppy home when I had some questions about crate training. They were so happy to help and answer any and all questions. My veterinarian said that all of their dogs have the best temperament and I can certainly attest to that from what I have seen. We could not be more happy with them and our precious new family member.

~Russell Family, Dayton, Maine

Absolutely wonderful experience, we were kept informed with every step of the puppies’ development and health from birth until the day we picked up our puppy. The puppies are well cared for and healthy, and are very well adjusted. We never had any doubt that our puppy would arrive to us healthy and happy. Can’t recommend enough.

~Paul Ruopp & Amanda Morris, Readfield, Maine

We got our standard Bernedoodle puppy from Doodle MAINEia this past March(2022). He is almost 4 months now and is absolutely perfect!  We have been told by 2 vets and 1 dog trainer that he has the best temperament in a puppy that they have seen. Our dog trainer said we must’ve done a lot of research to find the right breeder to have such a great dog, which we did. We live in Massachusetts but with all the information offered on the website and after talking with Melissa we were(and are still) sure we chose the perfect breeder.
