Some words from our puppy parents
We absolutely love when families give us an update on how their pup is doing. Our dogs are scattered all over the country (Canada, too) and so it's rare we ever get to see them again after they leave our home. Whether it's just a photo update, or a glowing testimonial to our program - we are very thankful to those who have stayed in touch.
Below are just some of the testimonials we've received over the years. You can also check out our Facebook Page to read countless comments and posts from our happy families.
"As CEO of a well-established dog rescue organization, I deal with a lot of dog breeders and representatives of other dog rescues nationwide. There has been much negative attention placed on breeders and a lot of criticism. I have to agree that there are people who do not deserve to be working in an animal industry, who are self-seeking, careless and even cruel. In very stark contrast, it is a great honor to be associated with Tom and his "Prize Poodles and Doodles who represents the absolute finest in dog care and breeding that I have seen in over 25 years. I assure you Read On...
"Hi Tom and family!!
Sending our well wishes your way!!! Murphy has been growing into such a healthy young man. He is still a cheeky puppy at heart and a lover of all people and other doggie friends.
I attached some photos!!! We get stopped ALL THE TIME by folks asking where I got him from and what his breed is. ALL THE TIME hahaha he's quite famous here in the city of Angels!!!
I'm forever grateful to you all for being a part of his early journey into the world and getting connected to you. He has saved my life in more ways than I can count. I got sober a month before we met you and him and his siblings…. was struggling to stay alive and fight for my well-being. Murphy has gotten me through some of my darkest days and he's there for the BEST DAYS TOO. Read On... I now work in Mental Health and Addiction Recovery as a Mental Health coach. And Murphy is there with clients to help them feel better as a therapy dog during our sessions. We are also starting our training at children's hospital this spring to be a part of their therapeutic companion program with the kids!!!
We go on so many adventures too. He loves the beach, Lake Tahoe, Grand Canyon, Yosemite, Zion and plane and trains. (Plane is a little scary) He's also afraid of straws, trash bags and the dreaded vacuum cleaner.
He loves cuddles, pup cups, the PARK and SQUIRRELS!!!
Thank you SO SO SO MUCH again. Enjoy the photos and take care!!!"

"Hi Tom and Gage. Not sure if Paulette has been keeping up on the updates but can't tell you how happy we are with Gypsy Moon from Ebony's November 14 litter. She is a MACK truck of a dog , much stockier then our male and spirited doesn't even begin to describe her playfulness. Our male seems to tolerate her more then embrace her but they are still often found sleeping side by side in matching positions and Gypsy Moon often climbs into bed with him so she is smitten much more then he is thus far. . Anyways, my interest in your animals was the noticeable difference in the appearance so much so that your animals look like a breed of their own rather then. Hybrid and I am not only not disappointed but even more amazed at the clear difference even compared to our boy who is handsome but clearly a mix breed... Read On...

"We love Floyd, he's the best! He puts up with a lot from the kids and never stops wanting to play and be with them. He's such a lover!!"

"On February 6, 2016, my husband and I brought our best friend, Melvin (F1b born 12/2/15), home from Prize Poodles and Doodles. Melvin wasn't our first dog, but he was our first Goldendoodle.
Growing up, I've always been highly allergic to most animals. We had a mutt poodle mix when I was a kid that I did fine with. My husband and I... Read On... rescued a bichon/poodle mix in 2015 and again, no allergies. It was quickly discovered that if the dog was 50% or more poodle, my allergies were nonexistent. Therefore bringing me to the Goldendoodle breed. My dream dog. After a LOT of research, somehow I found Prize Poodles and Doodles. Within a few weeks of first contacting y'all we brought Melvin home. I just want to say THANK YOU for breeding responsibly. Thank you for the care you provided to our baby before he was ours. Thank you for your love of this breed and for giving us the opportunity to make our Goldendoodle dream a reality. The past 2 years with our boy have been indescribable. Melvin has stolen our hearts. We love him so much and in return, the love he has for us is undeniable. I can't take this dog anywhere without people stopping me. I've referred y'all to so many people and will continue to do so. Thanks again!

"Hey, Gage! I just wanted to give you an update on Ranger. First off, I feel like I hit the jackpot with this boy - he is as close to perfect as you can get!! Ranger spent last week with our trainer and has now mastered 'sit/stay' and 'down/stay'. We are working on 'settle' (when I step on the leash he lays down and chills), and 'leave it'. Ranger has also Read On...
"I couldn't be more happy with Gage and Prize Poodles and Doodles!! Over a year ago I sent a message asking about certain breeds they had and what I was looking for. We got so in-depth during the conversation, we discussed temperament and the lifestyle my family and I live. Due to starting a new role I decided to hold off on placing a deposit on a future litter. Fast Forward a year later I reached back out to Gage and he still remembered our conversation! I put a deposit down Read On...
"This is Willow. We adopted her from you a year ago in February She was born Oct 30 2018 the top picture is when we got her. The other pictures are more recent. We train her for service at Doggydoright in Ft Branch Indiana.
As you can see lawn mowers and vacuums don't bother her.
She's been a huge blessing. I have a rare neurological disease called Progressive Supranuclear Palsy. And in the mild to moderate stages of dementia. I'm glad we found our little Newfypoo on your website. "

"Hey all, just wanted to brag on my Minnie. She's a newfypoo from Diamond + Phoenix's litter from Nov 2014. She is now a certified Therapy Dog! We are volunteering at an elementary school - the kids look forward to her weekly visits, they line up to read to her!"

"WOW! We absolutely love PPD & our Rosie girl!!! We began working with Tom back in October 2015, discussing when we were wanting a puppy, and decided to put a deposit down at Christmas time. Tom was extremely educating and kept us in the know regarding our puppy! We emailed and spoke on the phone whenever a question came up, even if it was me just checking in on the upcoming litter! We were originally going to get a newfypoo puppy, but on memorial day weekend, we...Read On... We we arrived to the grooming studio, Rosie came out fresh and fluffy and totally adorable. The family owned studio felt like I was walking into my own family's studio...so welcoming and provided food, a clicker trainer, and spoke of their experience with Rosie...they knew her personality and loved her just as we did! We had a follow up call with Tom afterwards, just to be sure everything went smooth and I could just tell how much this little girl was loved! This girl has changed our lives, and everyone we meet adores her. My mom plans to get her next dog from PPD, and we will stay loyal to them as well. These dogs are totally adorable and worth any drive you need to make. Check out the photos of Rosie in the pictures! Thanks again PPD...you made our family complete!!!
"He's an amazing dog and we get soooooo many compliments when we take him out. We have shown your website to probably about 50 different people here in Cali. People can't believe he's a puppy because he's so calm"

"Georgia has had a great first day! My son said he didn't need any more Christmas presents since he got her....as you can see they are already pretty big buds! I think she would like a little more attention from our labradoodle though?. She's an awesome girl!"

"My boyfriend picked up our amazing dog in May this year. He drove four hours one way to get him because we heard such wonderful things about them. I've always wanted a Newfoundland and a newfypoo offered an option that didn't shed as much. The adoption process was smooth and when he picked Bruce up he was able to check out the breeding facilities and meet the parents, both of which were clean, up kept, and had very nice living conditions for both puppies and parents...Read On... The groomer loves his fur, she says it's easy to work with and that he's one of her favorite clients. He doesn't smell like many other dogs breeds, and the fact he doesnt drool is a huge plus too. He's healthy, and growing fast, but we love it! We highly recommend this breeder, and we will probably look to them again in the near future so Bruce can have a brother"
