L.A. Doodles - Goldendoodle Breeder - Pickering, ON

Pauline Zi

In order to write an accurate review, I wanted to wait until our girl was a little older... she's 2 now from Willow and Brinkley's litter. Before finding L.A. Doodles, I searched for so many doodle breeders I felt took care of their dogs and couldn't find any I was confident in. I actually found L.A. Doodles on the Paw Print Pedigrees website where I found the results of the health testing on their dogs and felt confident in the way they raise their pups.

Through the process of purchasing a puppy from L.A Doodles, Laurie-Ann was very thorough in her questions for us and answering the questions we had for her. For our puppy selection, we were there for, arguably, too long but Tom and Laurie-Ann made sure to answer any questions and concerns we had. Laurie-Ann also knew every dog's personality to make sure they went home to the right family and was able to tell us about the dogs so we chose the right one for us. The program Laurie-Ann follows made it an easier transition for Bailey to join our family since she already got the hang of the crate and some basic commands. She was very well-adjusted and exposed to many feelings, sounds, and people before we even got her.

Either we got really lucky with our girl, Bailey, or L.A. Doodles has a gift of matching temperaments. It seems doodles have a reputation of being neurotic and crazy dogs but Bailey is quite the opposite. She was really easy to train and is pretty intuitive. We've gotten many positive comments on Bailey's temperament as well. I think this reflects positively on how careful Laurie-Ann is when planning litters.

With our experience of communicating with Laurie-Ann, training Bailey, and seeing how she turned out two years later, we were ready to sign up for another puppy. Unfortunately we are unable to do so but we'll be sure to keep L.A. Doodles in mind for any future litters.

P.S. the first picture is the day we got her and the second is Bailey now

We have had a great experience being a LA Doodles guardian family. I cannot think of a single negative experience we've had in the four months that we've had our doodle. It is plain to see the love and care that went into breeding our doodle into the healthy, clever and well-behaved pup that she is today.

We always get compliments on how beautiful and behaved our pup is, and I always make it a point to wholeheartedly recommend Tom and Laurie-Anne's L.A. Doodles. They are very knowledgeable and caring breeders who have been helping us raise our pup from day 1. They are kind, understanding, and are always available to answer any questions we have regarding our pup's health and training.

All in all, L.A. Doodles is a wonderful breeder that I wouldn't hesitate to recommend. Thank you to Tom and Laurie-Anne for our beautiful Piper!

We adopted our standard poodle puppy Phitzy from Laurie-anne and Tom in the fall 2021. Phitzy was a wonderful puppy and now is a teen in dog years and 2 in human, he has adjusted very well to his new family. He is the perfect balance of a cuddly and playful dog. Phitzy is very well socialized with both humans and animals. Laurie-anne and Tom have been very helpful and truly care for all of their dogs and puppies. I would recommend L.A.doodles to all. Loranne and Tom are wonderful and their puppies are smart and adorable!

I have nothing but absolutely positive things to say about Laurie-Anne and Tom from LADoodles. We had such a wonderful experience with our first puppy Poppy, you’ll see a picture of the day we received her and the day we brought her back to select our second puppy. Laurie-Anne is knowledgeable, professional, trustworthy, kind, loving and breeds fantastic puppies. The work and love they put into their puppies shows beyond words that I can type. Our experience was 12 out of 10 and I wouldn’t be able to get a puppy from anyone else with how smart, funny, playful and well tempered our puppy was from LaDoodles not to mention how helpful and accommodating they were with our drive being 4 hours away. Thank you for everything Laurie-Anne and Tom!

Our family decided become a guardian home to a sweet little girl who is now 6 months old. Right from the start before we decided to start this journey we could see the love and care that goes into the puppies and parents by Tom and Laurie Anne. They are very knowledgeable and go above and beyond to make sure that the puppies are free of serious health issues. They are always available to answer questions or concerns . I would highly recommend Tom and Laurie Anne if you are looking for a puppy . Thanks Tom and Laurie Anne

We got our guardian dog from LA. Doodles and we cannot recommend them enough. The whole experience was wonderful. Laurie-Anne and Tom were lovely to speak with and answered all the questions we had. They took the time to explain successful ways of potty training, puppy training, etc.

Our dog is a part of our family. He has become a calming presence in our lives and helps us release stress daily.

Everywhere we go (pet stores, walks, parks, etc) we get asked what kind of dog he is which makes us excited to tell them about doodles and LA. Doodles. Many people cannot believe his calm demeanour as he is a big boy. He is known as “a gentle-giant”. The name truly fits him and is a result of how he was raised from birth at LA. Doodles. I have nieces and nephews that love to play with him and give him lots of pats and he is an amazing family dog.

We cannot thank LA. Doodles enough. They have blessed us with the best dog we could ever want. Thank you for the care and effort you put into raising your puppies.

We are forever grateful to Laurie-Anne for our wonderful dog! We were so happy to find L.A. Doodles through a family friend, and right from the beginning Laurie-Anne was so sweet and was willing to answer any questions we had. She posts weekly about the puppies on her blog, where we were able to follow along to watch the puppies grow. It made us feel so connected right from the start, and kept us so excited! It is so evident that Laurie-Anne loves what she does, and cares about raising these puppies to get them ready for their forever homes. We have many people ask us about our calm, loving dog - and we always tell them they need to get a doodle from L.A. doodles 🙂

We were very lucky to find L.A. Doodles when we were searching for a Goldendoodle for our son.
Our Cleo is a joy to be around. She is gentle and loving and gets along with humans as well as dogs.
The photos and videos we received while waiting for our puppy made us feel as though we were part of her life from the day she was born.
Laurie-Anne has also been very kind and generous with her time to respond to our many questions before and after picking up this wonderful addition to our family.
