Woodlot Companions Reviews

Five-star all the way. I live in Northern California so there was a flight involved from Ohio and bought the puppy sight unseen. Would do again smooth PROFESSIONAL transaction. Gladys and her communication is excellent, picked up the phone on my first call. Sent current videos and pictures of (Logan) . Now known as RINGO the STARR. I feel very lucky to have stumbled across Woodlot Companions. Bought the dog on a Saturday could have got him as soon as Wednesday all flight information and itinerary was given days in advance lots of communication felt comfortable with this transaction from the first phone call. Gladys even helped me through the checkout process. My vet was very impressed with the puppies disposition, demeanor, socialization and as being very smart. Not to mention beautiful, he was the star of the clinic. Ringo is extremely smart very quick to learn. had him completely potty-trained in his new surroundings within a couple days, with 3 minor accidents. Pretty good for a young puppy that just was flown cross the country. I would recommend anybody purchase a puppy from Gladys and her family. They care about their pups and they care about their pups going to good homes. Thanks WOODLOT. !! Our family now knows where to get Quality Pups!

I fell in love with my Kylo (formally Radar)(Goberian)back in March of 2019 while living overseas. Merlin was so kind throughout the entire process and sent pictures and videos of him. Kylo was flown out to me once I returned to the States and I have been so shocked by his temperament. He is everything a first time dog owner could dream of. Gentle, calm, patient, loving. He is great with other dogs and even more amazing with children. Kylo and I are currently living in Italy now (he is even in training to be a therapy dog) and things are going wonderfully. He is the most happy and perfect boy and I couldn’t thank Woodlot enough for giving me my best friend!

I was looking for an English cream last October I happened to stumble across this website and I found Cooper when he was 15 weeks old I had no idea who these people were, they were in Ohio and I was in California so I purchased Cooper without visiting and it was the best decision I ever made he is a wonderful dog beautiful best personality and super smart!

My fiancé and I flew to Ohio from California just to pick up our Pomsky puppy! Our far distance to a breeder caused natural apprehension but we were not disappointed with Woodlot Companions. The thorough communication from afar made us feel confident to purchase out of state. Gladys was always very prompt to respond to all the questions we had and she constantly kept us up to date about Tucker’s upbringing with photos, videos and growth information. Visiting the property really helped give us peace of mind that we made the right decision to adopt here. I highly recommend Woodlot Companions!

My daughter, Heather purchased a mini bernedoodle from you a year ago. He has just taken all of our hearts! He definitely has his own personality; I even laugh and say he thinks he is a person! Several of our friends have since then purchased a golden doodle and a bernedoodle. My husband and I are now looking for a mini sheepadoodle. It is a very reassuring feeling to know that Woodlot Companions are a fair, honest, clean, and friendly place. The puppies are well cared for.

We’ve been searching for a pomsky and feel lucky to have found Woodlot! Our Pomsky Koby, has been such a great addition to our family. The family at Woodlot sent us pictures and videos throughout the entire process. They answered all of our questions and kept us informed. I could tell from our interaction that they care about this work and doing it right. I would highly recommend you start here you will not regret it!!

This is Benny the Goberian! We received him from the good folks at Woodlot March of 2019. From the time we put our deposit down until we picked him up the following week they were nothing but communicative and friendly! We couldn’t have asked for a better puppy. He loves everyone, every animal, and does so well with little children. Thank you so much for our pup!

We are so happy we used Woodlot Companions to get our beloved sheepadoodle puppy! The breeders were amazing to work with and so helpful and responsive in answering all of our questions since we are new puppy owners. They even sent along a blanket from their home that smelled like the mother to help adjust the puppy to our new home. Our puppy is so well behaved and so sweet. We could not be more pleased with our experience and are so so happy that we chose to get our puppy here!

So happy to find woodlot companions for our mini goldendoodle! The breeders responded right away when I had questions. Seeing as I live in MA, the process of buying our pup and having him delivered was very easy! I loved that videos were sent along the way! You can tell the puppies are well cared for! He is the most adorable puppy and loves everyone he meets!

We decided to purchase (more like adopt) two brothers from Woodlot Companions back in March. I traveled up from Florida to their beautiful home in Ohio to pick up the boys. Merlin and Gladys were amazing and super helpful with information, tips and recommendations. They provided all the health records and shared them with my local vet down in Florida. A visit with my vet upon return to Florida proved the pups were in excellent health. Needless to say, the pups are doing amazing. Very healthy and happy pups with the most wonderful personalities and dispositions. Thank you Merlin and Gladys for helping me add to my family.

When we first started looking for our English cream golden retriever, Sylver,we had done a lot of web browsing and Woodlot Companions got our attention immediately. The website itself is nothing but first rate with a vast amount of information about the history of the breeder and the easiness of looking at the different breeds of dogs they raise. Along with their delightful and expert customer relations with their clients in our opinion they definitely stand above the rest of breeders The number one reason was the communication aspect. Any time we had a question, they were right there for us. We never had to wait days on end to get a response. The day we picked up Sylver, we got to meet Gladys and Merlin and they were awesome! They are very down to earth people and you can tell right away the love and care they have for their animals. We traveled from Pittsburgh to Millersburg, Ohio about 2.5 hours to pick up our Sylver and we’ve had nothing but joy and happiness with our newest member of the family.

Gladys was just the BEST she was professional and caring for all the puppies. She went about and beyond and always answered our question and email with extreme knowledge of the puppy and send video and update on the veterinarian visit. Thank you so much Gladys!!!

We never had a dog before and with two kids in college and my youngest still at home, we contemplated getting a puppy…and then because of COVID we knew we could be home to put in the time to care for and train a puppy. We researched English Cream Golden Retrievers and found Woodlot Companions! I called, and without even leaving a message, Gladys called me right back! I told her we were interested in Lilah (previously Layla) and proceeded to ask her a million questions because this was all so new to us. She was so incredibly patient answering every single text/email…and even with all the puppies she had to care for, she took the time to respond to my request to take/send me updated videos of Lilah. When we finally met Gladys and Merlin in person, we witnessed what calm, patient and professional people they are….and I knew that Lilah had benefitted from it. In fact, her very first day home she was able to learn to “sit” and to go into her crate on command! This was after me – a first time dog owner – training her for a short period of time!? The next day, she could also lay down, stay, and come to me on command! She was so naturally motivated / LOVED “training”, yet also had the absolute sweetest, calm disposition. By 10 weeks she could sleep through the night, and at 13 weeks started using “bells” to let us know when she needed to “potty” throughout the day. We all talk about how lucky we were to get such a good dog, but in all honesty we know that the environment that Lilah was bred and raised in is what made her the calm, trainable, friendly puppy she is today….and one that stops people all the time to remark on how beautiful she is and what gorgeous coloring she has. I highly recommend Woodlot Companions, they breed truly amazing dogs and are an absolute pleasure to work with! (The pic of her is on her second day home, in her proud “sit” position 🙂

We had such a wonderful experience with this sweet family. They were in constant communication with us during the final weeks leading up to us picking up our beautiful puppy. Our English Cream Golden, Hawk, is 6 months old now and he’s absolutely wonderful. We can’t imagine life without him.

We got our Goberian from Woodlot Companians in 2020, and we could not be any happier with our pup. She is so sweet, calm, fun and playful. We have young children, and she does so well with them. We were able to visit the puppies when they were four weeks old, and they were all very clean and healthy. We are so grateful to have such a great dog. Would definitely recommend this breeder to friends and family
