We got our best buddy from Forest Creek kennels and I am so glad that we did! Our mini golden doodle rocky is now 2 years old, he is 27 pounds and is a real lover boy. His temperament is amazing, he loves everybody and just wants to be loved and play. He also tolerates my high energy 7 year old son. I highly recommend Forest Creek kennels.

I bought my pandemic puppy from Syndi in July 2020 and she was great. I saw one of her other puppies sleeping at an outdoor beer garden, and was referred by that family.Syndi has stayed in touch and Piper has fully grown healthy to just about 20lbs. He is very excited all the time, but the sweetest dog and great with other dogs and children.

I adopted a wonderful fun loving comfort doodle. Her name is Ellie she will be 2 on March 15. She played well with our 3 year old mini poodle and our two Balinese cats. Syndi is wonderful she takes the time to get to know each person she is sharing her wonderful bundles.

Forest Creek Kennels is a wonderful place to get a puppy. We got our Golden Doodle Fiona in 2010 after thoroughly researching breeders. Syndi is a highly reputable breeder and wonderful to work with. When it came time to pick up Fiona, we were able to walk through the kennels and meet both parents. Syndi was very transparent and you could see how much she loves her dogs. Fiona is 13 now. She is very healthy, so smart and lovable. She goes to work everyday with my husband at our retail store and is loved by all our customers. I highly recommend Syndi and Forest Creek Kennels.

Highly recommend this kennel. Syndi is great. She loves all her babies. She has healthy, well taken care of momma and daddy dogs. She knows their family line and breeds for healthy babies. Amazing job she does. She is easy to talk to and will answer all of your questions and concerns. The price is very reasonable for the type and quality of the dog you will receive. We have two fur babies from Forest Creek Kennels. We have a 6 year old Comfort Goldendoodle (Beamer) and a 9 month old Australian Labradoodle (Brookie). We love them so much! It is so easy to know why the kennel is known as the home of the spoiled brat babies!

So in love with my pup! He has grown to be the most playful, adorable, loving, sweet boy. She loves her puppies. We have friends that have bought from her and recommended others as well. I would absolutely get another doodle from Forest Creek Kennels.

Happy to leave ths review..Forest Creek Kennels / Syndi gave us the best 11 years of our life - when our Annie was born. Annie was so smart, her temperament was perfect and she was always there for us! She served her Community as a Therapy Dog - resident dog at MCV...our medical college / hospital. Annie was a comfort Doodle - about 28 lbs which was a perfect size for us. Her parents were Zeva (mom) & Mator.We came to Forest Creek Kennels - because Syndi's website said she prayed over her Puppies...that sounded good to us!This past Christmas, Annie suddenly became sick...Lymphoma took her in 6 days. Our hearts are broken...Miss Syndi is looking out for us to have another Puppy one day. I feel like - it will happen - we just need to fulfill a void that hurts terribly everyday. Thank you Forest Creek Kennels - for the time we had with Annie and for all you do to make our families happy with your Babies!

We got our little black furball from Forest Creek Kennels in August. He is a second generation mini Goldendoodle and the sweetest pup on the planet! Our vet gave him an excellent bill of health. Syndi was very knowledgeable about his breed and kept excellent records of his veterinary care. The adoption process was fairly quick and easy, and the prices were reasonable. I would highly recommend them!

We were incredibly lucky to find our beautiful Roxy from Forest Creek Kennels in 2012. She was the most beautiful, most calm, most amazing dog who ever lived. We could not have been happier with Forest Creek. Roxy passed away in 2023 after an amazing life💓

We got our dog, Max here 7 years ago. He has been the easiest dog to train and his temperament is fabulous! All of our neighbors know Max and come to say hello. I highly recommend!!

We love our girl from Forest Creek Kennels! She’s 2 and is super playful when the kids want to play, and loves to cuddle when it’s time to relax!

Syndi was an absolute pleasure to work with to get our Mini Comfort Doodle Gibbs! We knew 3 friends that got dogs from Forest Creek Kennels, so we knew the great reputation. We weren't able to pick out Gibbs in person due to bad weather in our area, but Syndi FaceTimed with us to pick him out. She also let us come visit him another time since we didn't get to see him in person at first. She would post pictures and videos on Facebook and also texted me some pictures.We ended up doing an extra 4 weeks of training with Forest Creek Kennels before bringing Gibbs home. Syndi was able to get a really solid start on a wide variety of skills! He was trained on: potty, crate, leash, his name, not jumping up, and basic commands like coming to his name, sit, and lay. During his training he was also socialized with other dogs, a toddler and a baby! This extra training was SO worth it! Once we brought him home, we just needed to continue to reinforce the good habits that Forest Creek Kennels started.Gibbs is the absolutely sweetest dog. He is a calm cuddle bug that everyone has fallen in love with and is truly living up to the name of Comfort Doodle. He is extremely laid back - he hasn't barked or been startled by things like people knocking on the door, lawn mower, our robot vacuum, etc. He is also a smart little pup - we taught him to ring a bell to go out to potty and he picked that up in less than a week.I would highly recommend Syndi with Forest Creek Kennels for your next puppy!

Syndi/Forest Creek Kennels is the best breeder of pups. She is so knowledgeable and lovingly breeds dogs that make the best family pets. We loved our first Forest Creek Kennels pup so much, we had to get another! Thanks Syndi.

We got our sweet boy in April of 2021 and he has been the perfect addition to our little family. He is so sweet and affectionate and incredibly smart (sometimes to a fault😂)! He is over a year old now and is still the same spunky little pup! You can really tell that Syndi loves and cares for all of her dogs. The dogs at her kennel have so much space to run and play and can see how much she works to socialize your pup before they come home to you! When we picked up our pup she invited us into her home and let us meet the rest of his litter as well. She also made sure we had all the information we needed before we took him home. If ever we decide to get another doodle we will definitely be going back to Forest Creek Kennels!

I picked up my puppy 8 years ago and he's the best sweetest dog I've had, so calm and loving. I couldn't have asked for a better dog. He's a healthy and happy boy! If you're looking for a doodle don't hesitate Syndi does a fabulous job breeding her dogs. I went down to make sure this wasn't a puppy mill before I purchased him. You can tell that she truly loves all of her dogs and does everything to make sure that they are all healthy and happy 😊

We recently purchased a mini Australian doodle from Syndi. We are so beyond happy with the puppy she’s wonderful sweet and kind with our two small children. Syndi was available to chat whenever we needed to ask her questions before the pick up and after. She’s very trustworthy and treats her animals wonderfully and socializes them so when you bring them home they are used to children and families and playing and all that wonderful stuff.If we ever decide to get another dog we Will definitely be purchasing from Forest creek kennels again.

I did a lot of research before selecting our "pandemic puppy" and though it was a long wait (for us) it was well worth it. We ended up getting a slightly older puppy instead of the one we thought we'd get, but she is absolutely perfect for us! Maya has the funniest personality; she thinks she is the queen of the house and she probably is. She is wonderful with others. I was worried about the things I was reading online about the energy level of goldendoodles. Forest Creek Kennels must have magic in their breeding because she is calm and quiet indoors but has enough energy to play and run with the kids when she's outside. Maya is super smart (too smart for us) and we are grateful to Forest Creek for our wonderful family member.

We've had our mini goldendoodle from Forest Creek for over a year now, and we couldn't be happier with her. She has been a wonderful addition to our family, and it has been rewarding to raise her. She has the intelligence, trainability, and "attitude" of a poodle mixed with the gentleness of a golden retriever. The dogs are obviously bred thoughtfully, with good proportions, health, and temperaments.Do not, however, make the mistake of assuming these dogs are just cute, teddy-bear apartment dogs. Our girl is very active, energetic, and "springy" -- she can jump up onto a surface three times her height no problem, and she is often the fastest dog at the dog park. They do require more maintenance than some other dogs (this is not a secret) due to their proneness to matting and ear infections. But, it's not that hard to keep on top of if you desensitize them to brushing and ear cleaning early, and it comes with the benefit of not shedding!

My family now has three puppies from forest Creek Kennels and every time is a wonderful experience. These are the best pups in the world and I can't recommend more. The puppies are socialized and sweet and always very healthy.

We picked up our sweet puppy boy two days ago. As life long dog owners, we can say without a doubt this is the best puppy we have ever had. The work that goes into the puppies is evident from our boys tolerance of our small kids (they've been socialized), loving disposition, ability to immediately sleep through the night (no crying, no accidents!), and overall contentment. This is a happy puppy who has been loved for the last 9 weeks by a knowledgeable and caring person. We are so grateful!

This is the 2nd puppy we have purchased from Syndi in 14 years. We just purchased a Comfort Australian Labradoodle. We trust Forest Creek Kennels and Sydni's expertise! HIGHLY recommend you consider her business for your puppy! Couldn't be happier with our new little fur baby.

Excellent, professional Dog Kennel whose owner cares for her dogs as if they were her family. All puppies are loved and cared for from birth onward. As far as this being a "Puppy Mill" all of their females are retired and adopted by age 5. All puppies have spay and neuter contracts, to keep them from being improperly bred. As well as that breeding cycles are alternated to make sure the mothers are always healthy. Any notion that this kennel is doing anything bad for their animals is unfounded.For all the people commenting saying, that the deposit policy is shady. Some people will show up just because they want to play with puppies or dogs for a day, which wastes the owners time. If you are serious about getting a dog from this place, you should have no problem putting down a deposit. There have been no reports of anyone having any issues with money being taken, without receiving a puppy so I am not sure where that notion came from.The price is considerably cheap considering all the care put into each of the puppies, from birth to weaning to finding a home. Each puppy is checked by a professional veterinarian before being sent home, and receive many important vaccinations before visitors can even see them.Most of the puppies from this breeder are already sold before being born, there are waiting lists, there are many good reviews from countless people on different platforms.I would not trust a puppy from anywhere else.

We are so happy that we adopted our mini golden doodle from Forest Creek! Syndi was super responsive and helpful throughout the entire process - she really knows each and every dog and the entire experience was professional, and she really walked us through everything being first time dog parents! We live our pup and Forest Creek!

These dogs/puppies are loved, well taken care of, and very spoiled. All dogs are both physically and DNA genetically tested before breeding. So you receive a healthy happy loved well adjusted new family friend.All puppies are vet checked, have UTD shots, are wormed, have health guarantee, and are microchipped. But my veterinarians own professional advice. I don’t allow people inside my kennel. But you can visit after you have placed a deposit, when your puppy is old enough to be seen by public. This is for your puppies own health and safety. At this time you pick your own puppy and meet the parents. Then return after vet check up at around 8 weeks of age to take home your new baby.
