Hey April,

Hope all is well.  Alvin is doing great and actually lost his first tooth
today!  He is just a little more than 5 months old and is 27 lbs right now.  
Hopefully he doesn’t grow too much more!!  Attached are a few pictures
for you to see.  He’s learning how to sit pretty well, and he is fetching
well too.  Everything is great!!!  Thanks for everything...

April Tilley is truly a GREAT Breeder! My mini-goldendoodle is my families'
most valuable possession. This was my first puppy experience and I was very
nervous about purchasing a dog for my two boys. April held my hand and
assisted me throughout the entire process.

She spends a lot of time and care with her dogs. I cannot say enough nice
things about her. My dog(Chewy) is almost 3 years old and I am still in
contact with her on a regular basis. She really cares about her puppies and
the families that care for them!

Chewy is 35 pounds and about 18 inches tall. He does NOT shed a bit - very
important feature to me. Chewy's color is considered apricot. His health is
great and the vet goes nuts over him at every check up. I also took an
obedience training and he was the quickest learner and the best mannered
puppy in the class.

April hand picked him out for me based upon my needs. I wanted a calm,
cuddly dog and that is exactly what I got. My mother lives in Tulsa, OK and
she drove to pick him up for me. April even drove an hour to meet her.

I have recommended many friends and family members to her. I cannot say
enough positive things about April and her business.
Sincerely,

Dear April,
Again you have brought such joy in our lives by letting us adopt
Jillian. This is our third Golden Doodle we have purchased from you. We
have always received first quality dogs and first quality service from you.
April is honest, kind and cares about    the pet's well being even after
they have been delivered to their new home. After owning various breeds
of dogs, I am convinced that the Golden Doodle is my favorite breed.
They are loving and very smart dogs. I am also convinced that April Tilley
is the only breeder I would buy my Doodles from.
Respectfully- Lynda R. and puppy "Jilly."

Greetings from SC,
Sorry we beat your Razorbacks so badly.
Better luck next time, those teams usually alternate
wins over each other.
I've had 2 Golden Retrievers and they were awesome-
but Maggie is more awesome.
She is sweet, active, and fun.
We go for long walks every nite and the last 300 yards is across the driving
range of the golf course next to our house. So for the last 3 nights Macy
and I
kick the balls all over and Maggie runs for them in the moonlight.
She definitely needed a bath tonite so we took some pictures afterward.
The poodle is really starting to show.
She will sit and give you her paw on command (Lay is next).
Totally awesome, I'm sure you'd agree.
The 2 pics w/out Macy are the latest. The one w/Macy about 5 days ago.

Hey everyone!  Lucky and Trevor came to live with us a month and ago and
they are the most precious ever.  They are mini goldendoodles, although
they have grown so much they don't seem so "mini"!  April was so good to
work with and provided us with all the information that we needed to bring
home these two precious babies.  Our children were so excited with their
surprise after school and are "in love" with them.  They are doing so good
and sleep all night long.  They do like to eat the grass and are still trying
to figure out a way to get them to quit that but we are being patient!  If
you are looking for a precious baby to join your family, I would highly
recommend April and puppies by design.  Too precious!

Hachi / Mini-Goldendoodle
12/27/2008  -  Oak Park, Illinois
I feel fortunate that I found April and her puppies when my wife and I
decided to buy a new dog.  I could tell from the beginning that April really
cares about her puppies and wants them placed in loving homes.  Because of
the distance, we had Hachi shipped.  Storms caused a couple of minor
delays, but otherwise, all went smoothly.  Hachi loves everybody!  He has
an unlimited number of "puppy kisses" always available, and his face begs for
a photo to be taken.  What a cutie!  He loves kids, loves to play with his
toys, and loves to chase his puppie-sized tennis balls.  We have had 6 dogs
over the years, and Hachi has been the easiest to deal with as a puppy.  
After 1 week, he is 80-90% potty trained already, and he sleeps in his
crate all night with only a wimper at 7am each morning for his morning
feeding.  We are just having a ball with him!  April told me he was a sweet
puppy, and she was not joking.  I think that April always strives to deliver
well-socialized!

April,
Thanks so much for the advice.  The water worked and he is eating just fine
now.  He is still so well behaved and doing great with house breaking.  Still
no accidents, if you can believe that!  Of course we are on top of him at all
times.  He still loves his crate and does not complain at all about going in
there to sleep and is only waking up once at night.  We keep waiting for the
other shoe to drop, and the little devil in him to come out, but so far he's
been so wonderful, we can't believe it!  Thank you for breeding such
wonderful dogs.  We just couldn't love him more!
Merry Christmas!

We just want say that we are extremely happy that we found Puppies By
Design. April made the experience very easy and enjoyable. She explained
and educated us on the breed so that we completely understood what type
of dog to expect and the benefits that a hybrid dog provides. She also
made the pick up and transition very comfortable to us and our new puppy.
Her knowledge and experience made us very confident in the whole process.
Maddie is a very sweet and smart puppy and we look forward to the love
she will bring to our family. I want to say thank you to Puppies By Design!

Sincerely,

The Griffin Family
