Testimonials
My review is overdue, but maybe it is better that way now that I have had our guy Maverick for almost 7 months. I decided to let Maverick stay an extra 10 weeks with Southern Meadows and one of their trainers for the extended training. Some will say that they would never do that because you miss out on that early puppy bonding time. However, I knew that for our family that was the best option for success. We have 4 kids and run two businesses and while there is almost always someone at home, I didn't have time to put in the extra early potty training work and initial obedience training. When we finally got to meet Maverick he was the sweetest and gentlest boy (and still is at almost 11 months old.) Every puppy personality is different, but Maverick has just the right amount of playfulness that we need and most importantly he adjusts to his environment. He is ALWAYS willing to play, but he will also sleep/relax peacefully beside me when it isn't time to play. To this day he hasn't had a single accident in our home... none! That alone was worth the extra $ in training to me!

I have followed Southern Meadows Doodles for quite some time. During that time, I felt like I was getting to know the family - their fur babies are definitely a family affair. I always knew I would look to them when I was ready to add an Australian Labradoodle to my family. I started considering becoming a guardian home, and when the time was right, I reached out. Danielle responded very quickly and arranged a last minute visit. After meeting our sweet Billie Jean (now Hattie B), we knew she was the perfect fit for our empty-nest family. Hattie is unique in that she was already very well trained. I had seen her on their social media but never dreamed she’d be ours. She lived with the Tyrkas until we took her in so she received lots of special attention and love! She has the best temperament! She’s beautiful, so well behaved and super smart. We are so grateful for SMD and their dedication to raising these beautiful fur babies in their home, where they receive the best love and care! If you’re considering an Australian Labradoodle, you will fall in love with Southern Meadows!

We love our Beau (formerly Horace from Ruby/Scooter). Beau is such a smart, sweet, curious, confident and handsome boy, but can be a rascal! There isn’t a food or treat he doesn’t like which makes training fun. He loves neighborhood walks, playing ball, chewing bones, toys (his cuddle puppy is his favorite), car rides, running on the beach and playing in the ocean, other animals and everyone he meets. Thank you to Danielle and everyone at SMD!
