Ocoee River Doodles Testimonials

Poppy is the sweetest girl! She loves playing with our two boys and sometimes can even get our 10 year old dog Mason to play. She likes licking his face and biting his tail. We've spent most weekends over the summer in the pool and while she's not sure about swimming, she loves to sit on the top step. Poppy loves going for rides in the car and often goes with me to pick up the boys from their tennis lessons. She likes to sit in the spot right between their seats. She's been to the groomer once and has loved going to doggie daycare a few times with Mason. She spent two weeks with a dog trainer recently and does a great job walking on the leash now and following commands. She's such a smart, sweet dog and we love having her as a part of our family!

Peppa is such a blessing to our family! She truly thinks she one of the kids! She has to be wherever they are at all times. She loves to be outside, loves to play fetch, and has recently discovered her love of the pool! She looooves toilet paper rolls so we have to remember to close the bathroom door! She loves to meet new friends. We have lots of dogs in our neighborhood so she loves when they come visit. Honestly I haven't found a dog or person she doesn't just love - the feeling is always mutual!

Our sweet Maggie is a wonderful family member. She's fun, mischievous, sweet, loving and silly to the core. She thinks all people and all dogs that are near her are just to see her.

Georgie is weighing in at 58 pounds. She is sweet, affectionate, intelligent and feisty! She loves to go on hikes and walks with her parents. She still likes to tear up her bed, so currently she lays on the floor. LOL We don t know what Georgie will do when we have to go back to work as we have pretty much been home this whole time with her (or at least one of us has) - maybe she will get a cat sister or brother? The thing that I love most about Georgie is she reaches out with her Paw when she wants attention. It is the sweetest thing! She has truly been a blessing and an absolute sweetheart. She loves all people and all dogs!

Smoky REALLY loves belly rubs! Going in the car is a big favourite and also playing with our girls and their friends and any other dogs!! He is very sociable and loves to wrestle, play chase etc, etc...He still loves squeaky toys and chewing pretty much anything he can get his paws on. He is learning very quickly and has not had an accident in the house for several weeks. He sleeps well at night and wakes around 7.00...and doesn't wake us up anymore so we have to set a real alarm again! He is a very lovely boy and wants to have fun with people and dogs but also is very happy doing his own thing at home. He loves laying on the floor, especially by the aircon. His walking on leash is going pretty good. He has been enjoying going to daycare a couple of mornings a week (then sleeps all afternoon) which has helped brilliantly with the socialising aspect. We were getting quite worried about that, with lockdown etc, but it's actually been fine. Also being at home with him all day and for so many weeks has been a bonus for both us and Smoky.

Mowgli has a great personality. He loves to play and be silly. Mowgli is very smart. He is sweet, he loves his people and being around us. He likes meeting new people and makes friends everywhere he goes. He also loves meeting and playing with other dogs. Mowgli and his half sister, Ivy, play nonstop together. Ivy lives nearby and they get to see each other and play often. Mowgli loves walks. He walks nicely with his harness. Mowgli is a very happy dog - he is almost always smiling and people notice and comment that 'he's such a happy boy'!

Watson loves going to the dog park, barking, and walks! He's got the silliest, most fun personality and has been so smart. He can sit, stay, speak, lay down, roll over, and shake!

Hudson has been an awesome addition to our family! He is talkative and goofy. He loves puppy play dates, long walks, sprinklers, golf cart and car rides, swimming, sitting on our laps and belly rubs, and his big doggy sister Lola. He has brought so much joy to our family especially during this crazy quarantined time!

Ruby is the sweetest girl we could ever hope for! She knows commands of sit, shake, down, drop and when she sees her leash in my hand comes and sits, ready for walks, her favorite! She's obsessed with fetch and tissues or paper towels...if used even better! She was potty trained within a month and learned to vocalize at the door when she needs to go out. She loves other dogs and dog parks, but that puppy energy sometimes annoys the other dogs. She'll get better at not pouncing and jumping soon. She also learned how to swim this summer and loves the lake. Her favorite sleeping spot, when not in her crate is on the cushion behind us on the couch, wrapped around our necks like a stole, or with her head on our shoulder. We feel blessed to have her in our life and can't imagine it without her!

Luna is very playful, affectionate, smart, and wants to be everyone's friend. She loves all people (especially her family) and all dogs. She's very energetic in the mornings, and always looks forward to her walks at the river. Luna's favorite toys are her Kong and Starmark Everlasting Treat Ball. She loves to throw them up in the air, and watches them closely as they bounce to get a treat out. She is very patient and can entertain herself for a long time until she gets to the last treat. Luna has been such a wonderful addition for our family. Thank you so much for everything!

We adore our Remy and cannot say enough good things about this pup. He has the sweetest, most loving personality, with a bit of mischievousness thrown in. No sock or paper towel is safe if Remy's nearby. :) He is so good-natured and his tail is almost always wagging. Smart and eager to please, he learns new commands very quickly. We estimate he weighs around 60lbs at 6 months old. He is almost as big as our 5 year old Goldendoodle, Milo, who is 72 lbs. Milo and Remy have become great buddies...we call them our two doods. And as you can tell from the pictures, Rem is a little overdue for his first haircut!

Our family had the best experience getting our dog from Ocoee River Doodles! We truly cannot recommend them enough. Jonie & Kristy are so incredibly kind and thorough. They always kept us in the loop with their communicative emails, and once it came time to choose our puppy they helped us ensure we got the perfect fit for our family. We were most impressed by the training and therapies they did with all the puppies to help ensure a smooth transition home. They are the best of the best! Bear has been the perfect addition to our family, and we could not be more grateful! You can see more of Bear on Instagram @thepuppyzimm

We picked up Cash in August after waiting for about a year and a half for our perfect boy...and he is just that...Perfect! We so appreciate the professionalism that we found in Jonie and Kristy at Ocoee River Doodles. We have been through a couple of other breeders for our previously purchased dogs and have never experienced the amount of professionalism and organization that we received from this experience. Cash was already familiar with "no" and "sit" when we brought him home, which has been very helpful for us! Cash has such a loving personality. He wants to be right where we are at all times! He especially loves to eat...that is by far his most favorite activity!! Cash is most definitely the center of attention wherever we go. He doesn't seem to mind though! We are so happy to have Cash in our lives and welcome him into our family with open arms! You can see more of Cash on Instagram @cash_doodle2021

We absolutely had the best experience with ORD. We did a ton of research, and by a ton I mean hours upon hours of reading through reviews, websites, stalking social media accounts, etc.. We found ORD in our search and they checked all our boxes! We knew we wanted a bernedoodle and the fact that they had a program they followed for early neurological stimulation sealed the deal for us. We never owned a dog before, so figured that would be our best bet to getting ahead with training and obedience. Jonie was fantastic to work with. We had a number of questions throughout the entire process and she was so patient and answered all our questions. Not being local to TN we were concerned about how we'd get our pup, but they offered to meet us halfway which saved us so much travel time! The process was smooth and transparent, Jonie kept us updated with the litters and we enjoyed watching video clips of the pups each Monday. We can truly say that we are 100% so glad we went with ORD. The temperament of our Stanley, is the best. He's such a happy, outgoing pup and has been the best addition to our family! Raising a pup has definitely not been the easiest, but having ORD there to answer questions even after picking up our pup, has been super helpful. Their website is amazing too as they have recommendations for toys, treats, grooming, etc.. from Amazon. Which again, was so helpful for us as new dog owners. Highly recommend ORD for anyone looking for a bernedoodle or sheepadoodle! You can check our Stanley out on IG at @cooldoodstanley. Don't hesitate to send us a DM, we're happy to further discuss our satisfaction with ORD! Thanks!

We can hardly believe that Jagger is a year old; where did the time go? This sweet "Mama's Boy" has completely stolen my heart! He's so smart and is a constant source of entertainment. He has mastered catching a ball "mid-air" and returning to give it back. While we think he would play forever, he's ready to come in as soon as a drink of water is mentioned and gives the ball back upon first request. He's a snuggle bug and loves to have his bum scratched as he dances lifting his back paws alternately. Jagger has brought our little family so much joy and we can't thank you girls enough for another perfect dog! You can see both of our Ocoee River Doodles Jagger and Lennon on our Instagram page @bowie_coco_lennon_jagger

Sully is such a sweet addition to our family! He loves playing with his two kids and has his big Goldendoodle brother, Henry wrapped around his paw! He loves going for rides in the car and is completely obsessed with food! Food is Sully's life! He's not picky at all! He quickly learned that sleeping on the couch is much more comfortable than the floor and loves to cuddle and watch tv! He is growing so fast and we love having him as part of our family! He has in own Instagram page @the_sully_est_monster

We couldn't have chosen a better breeder for our baby, Hawk! Jonie and her ENTIRE family took extra special care of our pup and I wouldn't think of using anyone else! They are honest, generous, and most importantly, excellent caregivers of both their parental dogs and the new babies they help bring to families everywhere. Their facility is beautiful and correspondence was professional, timely, and full of love. We truly cannot say enough about ORD and our experience. You can see more of Hawk on his Instagram page @hawkadoodleydoo

We couldn't be happier with our Maggie girl (Bernedoodle) from Ocoee River Doodles! If you're looking for a breeder for your perfect pup, your search is over! Beyond just taking special care to breed healthy, good natured Bernedoodles and Sheepadoodles, the women of ORD take care of the new parents from beginning to end. The first time we spoke on the phone with Jonie and Kristy, we spend over an hour talking about all the things we would need to take into consideration before having our first dog. They answered all of our questions and more and were so patient and knowledgeable. Their communication throughout the entire process is top-notch and they have a very fair and organized decision-making process for puppy picks from each litter. When we went to pick up Maggie, we were blown away by their incredible facilities where they take care of the puppies. It doesn't get any better than that! Jonie and Kristy deeply care about their dogs and it shows in more ways than I can write. We will never consider another breeder when we get our next. We loved the buying experience so much and Maggie is amazing. We even started an Instagram page just for her @magnolia.in.avondale

Duke is awesome, loving and very laid-back - potty training was a breeze - along with leash-walking, etc., He is a gentleman. We are over the moon in love.

Gumbo has been exactly what we were wanting and so so much more. It's very easy to forget that he's still a puppy - first due to his intelligence and eager-to-please mentality, and secondly because he's HUGE! He's mostly goofy, sometimes stubborn, slightly rambunctious, but always cuddly! He loves being as close to his family as possible even if his doggie siblings sometimes would rather be alone. His top 3 favorite things are as follows: #1 cuddling; #2 meal time (accompanied by excitatory jumping sometimes confused with pirouettes); #3 chasing tennis balls (and mom). He received his first real haircut today at 5 months 3 weeks and 5 days. We were unsure if they were giving us back the same dog. Post-haircut Gumbo could very easily be confused with a life-size stuffed animal that was won at a fair. His fur feels like a plush velvet. He could not be more adorable. Thank you SO much for allowing us to be a part of the Ocoee family and giving us this perfect pup! He's 63lbs and 23" at his shoulders today.

Ocoee River Doodles was a natural choice when looking for a doodle breeder. The care that Jonie and Kristy provide to the puppies through the puppy culture method the first 8 weeks of their lives paired with their clean, nurturing home environment sold us right away. They were available by phone/ email to answer any questions we had and provided great customer service to us throughout the entire process.

We are in love with Waylon, our new Berniedoodle puppy! He is 3 Months old now and we have already taught him how to sit, shake, stay and walk on command. He loves our 3 kids and is so smart and friendly to all. Thanks Ocoee River Doodles for our precious fur baby!

Our experience with Ocoee River Doodles was great! From making our deposit to bringing home our puppy! They were always there to answer questions and inform you of whatever. I think the love they gave the puppies made a difference! This is our sweet bernedoodle Amos.

We are so thankful we found Ocoee River Doodles! Bailey (Bernedoodle) is a true member of our family. She is so loyal and unconditionally loves us all. Her playful demeanor often provides many laughs for our three children. Bailey thinks she is a lap dog (currently 60 pounds) and is always found cuddling in someone's lap.

She was very easy to train and loves to travel with our family. Bailey is a show stopper! We are constantly being asked what kind of dog she is. We always recommend Ocoee River Doodles to everyone that asks.

Ocoee River Doodles was a pleasure to work with. They communicated easily throughout the process and answered all our questions. They have continued to stay in touch and truly enjoy getting updates on Bailey. We cannot imagine life without Bailey! Thank you Ocoee River Doodles for breeding such a wonderful family pet!!

Thank you so much Jonie and Kristy for always being so helpful as we have watched our sweet Bentley the Bernedoodle grow over the past few months. We were going with another breeder and changed at the last minute. It was a great decision.

Bentley has been such a delight and has become one of the family!! She's curious, fun, and playful! She really takes after her dad Rocky in that she's very smart and extremely observant of her surroundings. I'm amazed at how positively she has responded to her training!

Again thank you for always being available to help as we have had questions. We recommend Ocoee River Doodles to anyone looking for a doodle!! God Bless You!

February 3, 2018 we were blessed to welcome a new member to our family - Sherman the Bernadoodle. Sherman is a well-adjusted, smart, goofy and kind dog, and we know it's due in large part to all of the love, care and socialization he received at Ocoee River Doodles. It is clear that Jonie invests immeasurable time and attention with the puppies. By incorporating the Puppy Culture program into the first 8 weeks of the puppies' life, Jonie ensures a well-adjusted, confident dog. We did a lot of research on breeders and were struck with the affection and kindness Jonie and her family have for their dogs and puppies. We were able to visit with the puppies prior to making our decision. Seeing their emerging personalities and hearing first-hand about each of the puppies was a big help. Jonie knows the puppies' personalities very well and listens to what you are looking for in your new puppy, which enabled her to match us with the perfect addition to our family. There isn't a day that goes by where we don't say how thankful and lucky we are to have Sherman in our lives and to have found Ocoee River Doodles!
