Ericas Doodles Reviews

We just purchased our puppy from Erica a month ago we took her to the vet. She was in wonderful condition. We got to meet Erica’s two daughters they were very sweet and helpful. They helped me choose our puppy. This is for our daughter’s sixth birthday. The puppy came home very clean. It has not had any accidents since the puppies been home I would say she’s crate trained just like what the breeder said, Erica takes pride and love with each, and every one of her puppies I can see they’re very well taken care of and loved they love children if you are looking for a healthy and fun smart puppy, I would definitely choose Ericasdoodles She’s an amazing breeder and she’s licensed as well.

We go a bernedoodle puppy from Erika about a year ago. Murphy has been the most amazing addition to our life, she is sweet, amazingly behaved, doesn’t shed or drool, and has had no issues thus far. Erika was so patient helping us pick out our puppy and her knowledge and care for these dogs really shows. I cannot thank Erika enough for helping us find out new family member.

My puppy from Erica just turned 5 Christmas Eve. He is so smart, sweet, never had any health issues and was incredibly easy to train. We can’t wait to have another pup someday soon. He is our whole world ❤️

It will be a week that we got our puppy form Erica’s Doodles. We have Dr. Pepper who is now Ollie. He is a Goldendoodle (max 30lbs) and has been a great addition to our family. erica really knows the nuances of each her her puppies and fave is some tips and tricks for the first few days of adjustment. Ollie has done really well with my kids (7-15years old), my 2 year old nephew, and our 9 year old standard Goldendoodle. We brought him to the vet and he got a gold star for health! Potty training has been going well and so has crate training (even though he hates it at night) we got a sound machine for him and he’s adjusting well. Very happy with our decision to get form Erica! She is so responsive and open to any advice to give about her pups. I recommend her through and through.

We are so happy we purchased our baby from Erica.She has been amazing from the start we've had our puppy now for 10 months when we adopted our puppy, she was totally potty trained. We could not believe it. She was only 8 weeks old when we adopted her.She did not have no accidents. We have now became very close to Erica and her family. Her family recently adopted a puppy from a breeder, and Erica only had the puppy for 11 weeks. Erica spent $ 16,000 to try to get the puppy fix. Out Of their own money! However, it was not successful. Ice ended up having a liver shunt. Erica had this puppy for such a short period of time. she devotees her love and compassion and dedicates all of that money to try to get that puppy fixed. She reached out to the breeder that she bought ice from, And she totally ignored erica's calls emails, She had a necropsy done he had a liver shunt and it was genetic. I've never seen a breeder that spends that kind of money to save a puppy that she did not even bring into the for such a short period of time It's not the money with Erica. It's really isn't. It's about the love devotion care that she provides for each and every one of her dogs, the puppy she lost was not a breeding dog. It was her family pet. We adopted a gorgeous australian labradoodle from her and I'm going to attach her pictures.She's absolutely gorgeous.Thank you, Erica, for all of the love and time.Devotion.You put into your puppies and for raising happy healthy puppies that do not have genetic problems

I am currently looking to adopt a Goldendoodle as a Christmas gift for my daughter and have been reviewing several breeders, including Erica's Doodles, Cherry Lane Doodles, and Izzy's Doodles. Today I was on Facebook and noticed Erica's Doodles posted a GoFundMe for one of their dogs. I was initially torn on this, as it breaks my heart to hear about a dog being so sick. However, I’m extremely disappointed to see a breeder turning to GoFundMe to ask for financial help for one of their dogs. Breeding is a serious responsibility, and part of that responsibility includes being financially prepared to care for the animals — both in good health and in emergencies. As someone who expects breeder to prioritize the wellbeing of their dogs above all else, this raises red flags for me. If you’re profiting from breeding, it's reasonable to expect that some of those profits are set aside for the care and medical needs of the animals. Asking the public to cover those costs feels inappropriate and unprofessional. It’s hard to reconcile the idea of a responsible breeder with one who isn't able to fund the care of the very animals they chose to bring into the world. I sincerely hope the dog receives the care it needs, but I believe the situation should prompt some serious reflection on priorities and planning.

Hi Susan he was never a breeding dog he was not purchased to be bred he was our family pet. We got him sick from a breeder. And he has a liver shunt trying to save him for as long as possible. We have already payed 14k so far. Without anyone’s help. He was my daughter pet. That slept in her bed every night. It’s sad that breeders sell sick dogs and don’t tell the new owner.

Hi Stephanie, would love to speak to you, apparently you do not like Doodle Breeders. I looked at your profile and today as of 3:11 PM you have went down the line and given 11 Doodle Breeders in Illinois and one star. I have never spoken to you but am sure open to a discussion. Have a great fall

We got our sweet Asher from Erica (waffles liter) this week and he is just perfect! He hasn’t had any accidents yet & he’s so good with our toddler. You can tell her puppies are loved and cared for. Erica has been so helpful throughout the process, and I cannot recommend her enough!

2 of the 3 dogs pictured I have gotten from Erica’s Doodles. GREAT dogs! Not only are they beautiful but they have great temperaments. I wish I had a bigger yard, I would have more of Erica’s dogs. Erica is knowledgeable and a very ethical and professional breeder. Thank you Erica for my beautiful puppies.

Brought home our F1 standard bernedoodle Grizzly, from Erica just a couple of days ago and he's already quickly adjusting to to his new life. Hes taking to the crate and the leash with ease and he even communicates clearly when he needs or wants to go out. The process was smooth as well. Erica sent a long email full of suggested toys, treats, training tips, and what to expect. That list was very helpful. Erica has even continued to check in with us to see how both us and Grizzly are doing.

I just read a review from a Sean Ericson, this cannot be true. I have known Erica for a long time, and her house is beutiful. Yes, it's in the country, but it's lovely and well maintained. I am there often, so I know in what condition her puppies go home. They always get a bath just before they are sent with their new family, so I doubt that a puppy was full of feces. Her dogs are lovely and healthy, and unless many Doodle breeders, the parents are health tested. Also the dewclaws are not removed because the dogs really need them and help them in certain movements. Dew claws are only removed for cosmetic purposes, not for health. All in all, I give Erica a 5 Star rating, because she deeply cares about her dogs and puppies and has the knowledge and expertise to be a great breeder.

Just wanted to say how amazing Erica’s Doodles is! I got my pup from her four months ago and honestly… 10/10 experience. I’m from California and made the trip out, it was totally worth the time and money. The second I showed up, Erica and her daughters were super sweet and welcoming. As a gay person, it meant a lot to feel so comfortable and accepted right away. They listened to exactly what kind of temperament I was looking for, and I swear, I got the perfect match. My puppy is super social, LOVES being around the kids, and he was vet-checked and in perfect health when I brought him to our vet. Not one accident in the crate, sleeps through the night, he’s seriously a dream dog. You can tell Erica really cares about her dogs. Her place is beautiful, peaceful, and you can see the love she puts into her breeding. I’d do it all over again in a heartbeat, and honestly, I probably will. 🐾 Thanks again Erica! ❤️🐶

I am so happy I chose Ericasdoodles. She made the process very comfortable and easy. Erica is a honest breeder. We adopted sugar three months ago. The puppy came home to us already potty trained and up-to-date with her vaccines. Erica property is beautiful she lives in the country and has lots of beautiful land her house is very nice she has a wrapped around porch. Meeting her two daughters was such a delight. You can tell these puppies are cared for. My puppy came home smelling so good and freshly groomed. I highly recommend Ericasdoodles for your future puppy.

Erica is knowledgeable about the puppies and breed. Our guy came home with a raw bottom and was poo impacted. First shot wasn't given until the day before he was picked up, and he was nine weeks old, and this significantly delayed second shots. Dew claws are not cut off, and I've never had to deal with a puppy or dog with dew claws intact. A good breeder cuts off the dew claws 1-3 days after birth. Puppy was supposed to be a mini, but he's 16 weeks old and already 14 pounds and looks like he may be around 45. Dad is supposedly 10 pounds and mom is 22. Given the price being charged for a puppy, one would assume her house would be lovely, but it's actually quite scary looking. The food required in the contract is terrible food with additives, corn, wheat, etc., and the vitamins have a very low rating. It really only benefits the breeder financially and isn't good for the puppies. This experience felt like a puppy mill not a quality breeder.

Hi I just wanted to make sure I pulled my records before I reply to your review. We never sold a dog to a Sean Ericson. our reviews speak for themselves. not sure how you would know what our house would look like when you never came. It’s absolutely gorgeous. We live on 10 acres with our children. our home and property is very well-maintained
