We’ve had our little “Teddy Bear” (Corgipoo, Male) for over 6 months now and he turns one year old tomorrow! We love him so much!I gave 5 stars because I’m not sure when his fearfulness started. I think it could have been due to being transported to us via airplane, but I’m not sure. He loves me and did pretty much immediately, but it took about 3 months for him to like my husband. He doesn’t really like other people either, but he LOVES other dogs.It could just be his personality.When working with them, communication went fairly well. I’m a first time dog buyer so I think I was more anxious and probably asked more questions than the average buyer, but they worked with me and gave me all the information I needed.The listing said he might be around 20lbs at maturity and he has leveled out to around 15lbs, which is perfect for us 😊They were transparent about the fact that he had an overbite, which we didn’t care about.We bought him without meeting him and it worked out great for us! We love him!He has been a beautiful addition to our home and really helps as I am grieving some losses in my family.His lives up to his name, being a snuggly Teddy!-Also we got him at 5 months old and he was already potty trained and they kennel trained him at our request ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Update on Dwight,Couldn’t of asked for a friendlier puppy and dog, once he reached his 4 month mark we’ve been doing a lot of dog parks. He’s loved by everyone the dogs and people, he’s a little cautious around dogs but he try’s to love on every human he can. Just wanna thank Back Road Soul Puppies for everything they did and every step of the process made easy. Your family did an amazing job starting him on his life and we just wanna thank you for helping us find the perfect lil pup for our home.

I purchased a 5 month old golden doodle through Puppy Spot which came from Back Road Soul Puppies. I gave 2 stars for my puppies cuteness. The rest goes down hill. I purchased this dog to someday assist me in my volunteer work and become a therapy dog. I was clear about my intentions when I first communicated with Puppy Spot about this dog. Since day 1 when he arrived he was terrified of EVERYTHING, whines/screeches and tries to hide or run away. After 3 weeks he has finally bonded with me but is still terrified of everything else, including my husband. We had our first training session today with a highly recommended trainer who specialized in various behavioral issues, including fear and lack of socialization. He assured me that with hard work my puppy will improve but he will most likely NEVER pass a therapy dog certification test. I am distraught over this news and wonder why a breeder would think it is OK to sell a puppy for thousands of dollars with such horrific behavioral issues? Why is he so scared? It's clear now as to why he was the only puppy left in his litter to be sold. Puppy Spot said it was most likely because of his coloring which is rubbish because he is as cute as a button. Shame on you Back Road Soul Puppies!

We just got our new puppy on May 24. Melissa was very easy to work with and was very responsive. We are located in MT and we were going to be on vacation the week he was ready for pickup and Melissa was accommodating.Now about this beautiful little fluff: we picked up a mini F1 Sheepadoodle and at just 9 weeks old, he was incredibly easy and adaptable. He did great on the long travel from IA back to MT. From day 1, he would sit in front of the door and whimper to go outside and go potty. He is a very smart, loving, easygoing boy! Obviously the breed plays into the intelligence and eager to please. (I can only imagine if he was F1B, he would probably be able to make us coffee in the morning) We are in love and would definitely reach back out to Melissa if we add another member to our pack in the future.

My husband and I are overjoyed to add this little guy to our family. Melissa was so sweet and welcoming. So appreciative of her willingness to answer all questions and offer suggestions. Our new little guy appears to be well socialized and well taken care of. Definitely worth the road trip from Topeka!

The best kennel I’ve ever encountered! These folks take pride in their puppies. The owner goes way beyond in making sure when you take home you new baby that you have everything possible for them. The entire kennel family gets involved in raising perfect babies every time. Thank you so much for the gift of life!

We got our mini goldendoodle from Melissa. She was incredibly accommodating and so kind. And our sweet Elroy is the best pup. Everyone loves him and he’s so easy to introduce to humans and other dogs. Only 30 pounds… the perfect size. Thank you Melissa!!

Can’t brag enough about these people! Literally every step of the way process was made so easy. Great at communicating, answering questions, and preparing us and our pup thru the transition. Melissa clearly knows what she’s doing, our pup arrived so loving and already well behaved and well tempered*something I’ve never quite seen in a puppy*. This woman made it so easy to trust her, trying to adopt a puppy online can seem kinda shady at times, but never once did I worry or think something fishy was up. My GF had a billion and one worries for me thru this process and I was able to put everyone of them to ease. Would and will be recommending to ANYONE I hear interested in a healthy puppy ready to love.

Melissa is a fantastic breeder and that shows in the puppies that she breeds. They arrive to you already well socialized, and they have the best personalities. If we ever decide to add a fourth puppy to our household, she is the only breeder I would purchase from. I would rather support someone who produces quality puppies than take a chance on someone else. I could not possibly recommend her more. And I have, in social media groups I’m in. Every person who I have recommended her to, who has also purchased a puppy from her, feels the same as I do.

Melissa was super easy to work with! We got out mini goldendoodle puppy from her in November. They take great care of their dogs. Emmy was healthy and well socialized. She is the best dog, a little crazy lol. But sooo sweet! She completes our family, we love her sooo much!!!

Not ethical breeders. No ethical breeder would be creating random mixed breeds like "Cavacorgis", nor breeding multiple different breeds of dogs. Their dogs are kept in a kennel and used for breeding and never get to see the outside world. Any ethical breeder would take a puppy/dog back at any age for any reason and they explicitly state in their contracts they don't do that. The owner calls herself a "vet" at heart on their website, but she has no DVM. They're churning out puppies for sale, not breeding to improve a breed.

I found an absolutely adorable toy poodle that was the most socialized and well mannered dog I have seen at that age.
