Stories from our families

"My 5 year old little boy gets nervous and anxious in many different circumstances. He has learned to talk with Poppy. As he talks through his fears with her, she and him somehow work out the problem and before you know it he is calm. Poppy has become the dog of our dreams and one we never even knew we were missing. She is a sister and best friend to my kids."

"I'm a huge dog fan and have owned companies in the pet industry, so working with someone who knew what they were doing with breeding and care was a must. MaRea was so great to work with and definitely knew how to take care of those puppies. Samson is an incredible dog and would be my only choice if we got another doodle."

"From the moment you stepped into their home it was so apparent how loved these little puppies had been. They did such an amazing job getting the pups ready for their forever homes. Kennel trained, tricks, etc. I couldn't believe it! Our Gus Gus is an absolute dream. Well behaved, well trained, sweetest snuggler ever and the best therapy any human could ask for!"

"Our first boy Ollie was such a great addition to our family that we decided to get another one. We didn't even entertain the thought of getting one from a different breeder. Their puppies receive so much care, love and attention from each member of the Hess family from the day they're born till the day they go home. I wake up every day to Ollie and Koda's smiling faces."

"There was just something about the puppies I saw on the Mount Sterling Doodles Instagram page. They all looked so vibrant. Because we didn't live close enough to visit, MaRea sent lots of pictures and short videos, and a personality profile on the puppy we were considering. She was 'on call' for those first few weeks answering all our little questions. Sometimes I catch myself watching Olive cuddle up to the kids and thinking, we should have gotten two…"

"I am a mom of 5 boys and honestly never thought I had it in me for one more mess maker… a dog. Lola Belle is THE MOST patient puppy I have ever known. My 2 year old is always escaping the house, and now Lola does everything she can to keep him on our property. She'll nudge him over and stand over him, and if he does get away she barks until I realize he's gone. NOW THAT is one amazing dog."

"From day one Cooper has been such a joy in our household and such a well behaved and sweet boy. He knew how to behave around our kids, noises didn't spook him, and he took treats so gently from our hands. Our trainer said he was so easy to train and so smart."

"We chose Mount Sterling Doodles because they were experienced and did so much to train their puppies. The sound therapy in particular drew us to them, and our dog never barks at fireworks or thunderstorms. It was apparent at pickup that he had been very well socialized with their kids. We wouldn't hesitate to go through them again."

"We got our siblings Max and Lulu at 8 weeks old, and I felt as if they were already trained to look up at us and wait for their next instruction. They were fully potty trained by 4 months. We decided on puppies when our daughter was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease. Our dogs have changed our lives. We couldn't have asked for anything more."
