_We have had dogs for over twenty-five years. When we decided to work on what breed we
wanted after our last dog passed over a year ago, we researched goldendoodles
and settled on this breed because:
very little shedding; wonderful personalities – friendly, lovable, laid
back; intelligent and obedient; great looking dogs.
We then went to work on finding a breeder. We contacted a few breeders found on the internet and in the newspaper and came upon the Briar Ridge Puppies website. We were very impressed by the vision, goals and information Patti conveys through her website. We emailed Patti with questions and received great information. At that time, Patti indicated she had a litter that was 6 weeks old and invited us to visit her facilities and the puppies. We were pleased with everything we saw. At that time we decided to be put on a waiting list for two puppies.
Our puppies were born Summer 2011 and they are a little over three months old. Right away we knew (and continually realize) that Briar Ridge Puppies is everything they claim to be, and much more. Our puppies definitely exceeded our expectations:
- Well socialized – great with people, calm during grooming, ride well in car, comfortable in different surroundings.
- Almost housebroken. Did not take long to achieve once home.
- Knew some basic commands, and are learning each day. Very eager to learn.
- Overall health was excellent.
- Well groomed and clean when we picked them up.
- Patti did a great job matching the personalities of the two puppies to each other and to us. Great fit for our personalities and lifestyle and they are best buds!
We could go on and on, but bottom line is we are very, very happy with our puppies – Toby and Turk. Again, greatly exceeded our expectations. Patti and Andy are great breeders and wonderful people. When we are approached by people when out with the puppies (which we are all the time), we have no hesitation in recommending Briar Ridge Puppies. Thank you Patti and Andy!

McCoy
After much research we came across the best breeder in the world! Our Irish doodle is the most amazing dog that we have ever come across. His temperament is so chill, friendly, kind and loyal. BRP is amazing from all levels, prior to your baby being born, during and years after. We are onto our 2nd BRP dog. We are thankful for their dedication and hard work that they put into their dogs day in and day out.

Noel
This is Noel a BRP F1 Goldendoodle. Getting her was one of the best decisions I ever made. I am so thankful I came across BRP website. After speaking to Patti on the phone I knew she was a reliable breeder. I set up a meeting to meet her and her dogs, I was nervous that maybe she wouldn’t sell me a dog. Thankfully we both new I was a good choice for one of her babies. Noel is smart, loyal, funny and the most loving dog I have ever had. She amazes me every day. My husband had a knee replacement this week and she is very concerned watching his every move, giving him extra love, all the while making sure she is not under foot. The compassion of these dogs is amazing. Every penny spent on one of these dogs is worth it. Six years later it is still the best decision I ever made!!

Sandy

Hi Patti!
We wanted to let you know that we are enjoying every minute of Sandy. She has been the BEST puppy! We had a big dilemma when we 'considered' getting a puppy for our kids because we have an 11 year old boy that LOVES dogs and a 9 year old girl that was TERRIFIED of dogs.
We did a ton of research on breeds and interviewed (believe it or not) several breeders because our son has some special needs and we wanted to be sure that we were getting an intelligent breed from a reputable breeder so that we felt comfortable bringing it into our home and training.
Thank you so much for taking the time to answer all of our lengthy questions. We found the puppy picking process to be fair and we appreciated all of the pictures and information that you gave to us about the personality of the puppy that we were considering. We couldn't be happier!
Our vet was very impressed also with Sandy because of how calm she was on the table. I asked our vet if it was the breed, the breeder or both that gave us such a great puppy and she said based on what she had seen "it was both"!
You and Andy definitely worked a lot with the puppies to socialize them etc and it shows! Sandy is a great puppy, well socialized and has been so easy to train. As a matter of fact she is now at 12 weeks ringing the bell to go outside! YEAH! Enjoy the pictures and pay particular attention to the BIG smile on the face of my daughter, the one that was TERRIFIED of puppies. She LOVES her Sandy!!!!! And, Ross is
over the top for her as well. Thank you and Andy again for providing us with such a great addition to our family! We LOVE Briar Ridge Puppies!

Lola
After many long months of research I couldn’t decide which breeder to go with, that is, until I found BRP. A friend of mine told me about BRP and after many more days of research I announced my find to my fiancé in a text saying, “I found the breeder we are going with.” I knew in my heart that she (Patti) was the right breeder. I had that feeling. I had called Patti and also read through the website and also checked out her FB page. After sending her a check for a down payment, we were on the waiting list for over 8 (long) months but i wouldn’t trade my LoLa for the world. She is incredibly calm, smart and such a wonderful F1b Goldendoodle. My fiancé even says I am so glad we waiting for the right breeder and dog. Our family is complete with LoLa. Patti and Andy are the best breeders. They are very knowledgeable and to top that off they love each and every puppy as their own. Picture of LoLa is the day we brought her home at 8 weeks 💖

Jenson

Dear Patti and Andy,
I can't sing your praises enough. Our little Jenson (well not so little now as he is close to 40 lbs.) is such a wonderful ambassador for Briar Ridge Puppies. Not only have I given out every business card you gave me but my next door neighbor is now part of the Briar Ridge Puppies family. If that doesn't tell you how perfect your puppies are I don't know what does!
Everywhere we go people are quite impressed with our puppy. They love not only his look but his calm demeanor - he just wins people over. Only downfall to this was trying to do training classes - people would actually stop me in the middle of class to ask about him. Still he graduated from Intermediate Education class at 4 months old. I believe the bio-sensory training and work you do with the puppies REALLY makes a difference. Your support, knowledge, love and care shine through in every Briar Ridge Puppy. I look forward to being a repeat customer some day soon. Thank you both again for all the love and hard work.

Bodhi

I had never had a my own pet before so I did over 6 months of research before choosing a breed and breeder. Well all of my research paid off, when my family brought home Bodhi from Briar Ridge Puppies.
Patti and Andy are so extremely knowledgable and helpful when it comes to golden doodles. I know that if we ever have a problem or question Patti and Andy are right their for us.
Where ever we go, people are asking us about our baby boy, our Vet even took Patti and Andy's information for their clients and we live over 3 1/2 hours away because he is so impressed with the puppies from Briar Ridge Puppies.
We cannot imagine our lives and home with out Bodhi, he is truly a part of our family! And not only Bodhi, Bodhi's litter mates and their families have become fixtures in our lives as well!
I cannot say enough of how happy we are that we chose Briar Ridge Puppies, in fact in the next year or two we will be visiting Briar Ridge Puppies to get Bodhi a little brother or sister.

Tiller (The Red and White)
I was looking to add a second doodle to our family but I just couldn’t talk my husband into a second dog. He always said that our Finley was trained and such a great dog why mess with success. I was finally able to talk him into a second doodle when Finley turned 9 years old.
I stalked Briar Ridge Puppies Facebook site for three years just yearning for a second doodle. Once my husband agreed to a puppy I called Patti and got on a puppy list. I waited 8 months only because that worked for our timeframe. Tiller was born in May and we brought him home July, 2018. He was so easy to house train and crate train. Not so with our first doodle! I credit Patti and Andy’s training in making a huge difference. You will not be disappointed with a Briar Ridge puppy! Sue |
Oaklee

Oaklee is our F1b English Cream Goldendoodle. We live only a few miles from Briar Ridge puppies and were thrilled to find them. I had been searching for a goldendoodle puppy for some time and hadn’t realized they were so close and had puppies available.
We just love Oaklee!! He is such a good puppy, and both our veterinarian and trainer from the puppy class we’ve taken him to, have commented on how laid back he is. He is very friendly with people of any age and other dogs, too! When we brought Oaklee home at 8 weeks it was clear that he had been well taken care of; he already knew some basic commands.
The first day when we put him in his crate I told him to lay down... and he DID! I was shocked because even though I said “lay down” I didn’t expect him to do it. We are very thankful to Patti and Andy for the love, care, and time that they put in to giving the puppies the best start in life. We had an opportunity to see there Mamas and Papas too and they were all very friendly.
Whether you’re near or far we would recommend Briar Ridge!!”

Gidget
This is Gidget. She is 2 and the most well mannered intelligent Irishdoodle. We are so fortunate to have found Briar Ridge Puppies. The care our puppy received during her early weeks was nothing but top notch. Patti is a highly respectable Breeder, and I think it is amazing how she keeps in touch with the families of her puppies and always there to give us advice when needed.

Murray
When we got our last dog we did minimal research and sadly he died before he even turned two, which was heart breaking and I knew we wouldn’t jump right into getting a dog right away. I’m glad we took our time and was able to hear about your amazing puppies. We have had Murray for 4 weeks and I can honestly say I am so glad we have him, that we did our research and got a BRP. Worth the money and the wait. So grateful for you Patti and the love and care you give these puppies in their first weeks of life!! Here’s a picture of Murray sleeping from a week or so ago because it’s adorable 😍

BRP are worth their weight in gold, excellent behavior, awesome with children, very active and loveable. Ours love to lay on the couch with their cat friend. Patty & Andy really care about their puppies you have access to their help 24 7. Patti even called us after our first month wondering if something was wrong bc we hadn’t called her. We didn’t need to everything was wonderful they came practically potty trained. This is Bethany & Scarlett

Reese
I am extremely lucky to have found BRP, and to own one of their amazing dogs! Reese is the love of our lives and getting her was the best decision we have ever made! She is so playful, cuddly, gentle, and smart! Everywhere we go people talk about what a wonderful well behaved dog she is with a great personality and I attribute a lot of that to where it all began! Patti & Andy put so much time & love into their puppies, and it really shows! I am very lucky to also know a few other BRP’s quite well, and they are just as amazing too! You can’t go wrong choosing BRP! Thank you for giving me the best dog ever!

Rowan & Mia
These two, Rowan, an Irishdoodle and Mia, a Goldendoodle, are the best dogs! I knew I wanted a goldendoodle and as soon as I purchased a house I started researching breeders. I found BRP and liked what I read on the website but it was at a doodle romp organized by Patti that I knew I had found the best breeder. I went to the romp and watched in awe as Patti greeted doodles by name! I had the chance to speak to current owners of BRP dogs and their feedback sealed the deal. I remember speaking to Patti at the visitation day for my first BRP, Mia, and she was (still is!) passionate about her puppies and the families that become part of the BRP family. The community of support that she created through the BRP Facebook page have been a life saver and who can resist seeing all of those cute doodle faces everyday?!? The group pages created for each individual litter allow parents the chance to keep up with siblings and share challenges and successes along the way. Everyday I am reminded of how lucky I am. My two girls are smart, loving, and very playful. They made my house a home!

Tuqui
Tuqui is 5 and is a wonderful addition to our family! He is a show stopper wherever we go and he goes everywhere with us - shopping, doctor appointments, vacations to Florida and more! Even riding in the car people roll down their windows at red lights to get a better look at this sweet boy! His loving spirit, easy going and sometimes goofy nature brings joy to our hearts. We enjoy being a member of the BRP family.

Penny
This is Penny, a 15 month old F1b. We researched and interviewed numerous breeders before choosing Briar Ridge Puppies. Buying a BRP comes with an instant support system and peace of mind that when your puppy comes to you, it will only know love and have had the best care possible! Penny is a member of our family and we can’t thank Patti and Andy enough for trusting us with one of their babies.

Luna Rose
This is Luna Rose.. She is an F1b goldendoodle. Lu was our family’s first dog and we are so thankful to have found Briar Ridge. From the time we picked her until now, we’ve been part of the BRP family. Our questions were always answered, help/advice was always freely given and the dedication that they put into their dogs still amazes me. I truly cannot imagine my life without a BRP dog in it.

Ollie
This is Ollie my 12 week old Male F1b Goldendoodle and the best lil’ buddy/fur baby/shadow a girl could ask for! I already can’t imagine my life without him and neither can his extended “family” — his Gram, Pop, aunts, uncles & cousins! If you know anything about me you know I’m a planner/researcher. Ollie is my first dog and I wanted to do it right, so I spent ALOT of time researching breeders and rescues, etc... finding BRP & Patti/Andy I couldn’t have asked for a smoother experience from application day to “gotcha” day! All the apprehension and nerves of being a first time dog owner were alleviated with BRP & the BRP extended puppy family advice — along with Ollie I got great tribe of puppy parents to bounce things off of and know that what he and I are going through others have experienced as well. Ollie is healthy, happy, super friendly, smart & sassy (sometimes), and came home already with a bag of tricks and potty awareness thanks to BRP’s training. It was fate that I found BRP & a blessing that Ollie came into my life!
