What our puppy families say

“First class breeder” – Rose F., owner of Milo

“After a lot of research we decided that an Australian Labradoodle was the right breed for us. There are not that many breeders in the south of England so when I came across Willows it was ideal that we got our puppy from them. I did join a waiting list and didn’t mind the few months wait as it was more important for us to get the right dog than a dog quickly. I was very impressed with the professionalism but also genuine care and love that Willows / Shannon has for her dogs and the puppies. Having a puppy cam available from birth was great as we could see interaction with the mum and how the puppies were developing before we got to meet in person. Also having the temperament testing done by Willows is invaluable in ensuring a good match. Our dog Milo has fitted in from day one and taken to training with ease. He has a lovely nature with a bit of cheeky / fun personality which suits our family perfectly. I would not hesitate to recommend Willows Australian Labradoodle’s as a first class breeder.”

“The quality of the Willows pups is incredible” – Hayley J., owner of two Willows dogs

“Having read how people dote on this breed I thought it was all a bit silly, however after having my first puppy I was so hooked on the breed and totally understand the hype. I now have 2 from Willows and Shannon and Ross have been so helpful from the beginning. I loved watching the puppies grow from birth on the puppy cam and now recommend this breed to everyone. The quality of the Willows pups is incredible which shows just how much care is taken by Shannon. If I could give more than 5* I would.”

“Her temperament is marvellous” – Christian M., owner of Nelly

“We couldn’t recommend Willows Australian Labradoodles enough. Shannon is such an attentive, thorough, responsible and caring breeder. Nelly is our first puppy, her temperament is marvellous, we can’t believe our luck. Shannon went above and beyond to help us prepare for her arrival with lots of advice, wisdom, a training book and the whole litter were extremely well socialised. If we were to get another puppy in the future we would without doubt go to Willows again.”

“They found the perfect pup for us” – Trevor R., owner of Cookie

“Got our Aussie Labradoodle from Willows just under a year ago and couldn’t be happier. Can’t recommend Shannon and Ross highly enough. We had some quite particular needs having a child with some special needs and they were brilliant in ensuring that they found the perfect pup for us. Cookie’s temperament is so good and Shannon and Ross have been there to help when we’ve needed advice. A family breeder who really care for their pups and want the best for them and the families who buy them. The fact that we’re looking forward to welcoming our second Willows pup into our family later in the year should speak for itself!”

“She takes it in her stride” – Jasmine H.

“Had the best experience adopting our Australian Labradoodle from Willows! Shannon is so knowledgeable and always on hand to help with any questions – even now 2 years later she will offer advice and help if we need it. We have a child with ASD so our house can be quite chaotic at times but she takes it in her stride and is amazing with all 3 of our young kids. She is also no bother to our cats. She is kind, gentle, well behaved, walks well on and off of a lead and really is the best dog. She was shown love from the moment she was born. She was brought up around children and that has most definitely helped her transition into our house.”

“Temperament was our priority” – Eileen H., owner of Brodie

“After months of worrying experiences with so-called ALD breeders, it was a relief to find Shannon/Willows. Care is taken with puppy welfare before and after birth. Having young grandchildren our priority was temperament. Shannon cares about the health and temperament of her puppies as well as the selection of puppy parents. Brodie is now 3 but Shannon has always been available and happy to help with even minor queries. He has been everything we hoped for, he loves everyone, playful, comical but calm when needed.”

“Born into a loving family home” – Hannah C., owner of Cooper

“It was so lovely to be able to watch Cooper grow and develop from the live camera before we brought him home. Shannon was always helpful and happy to answer any question we had. We were also sent a booklet and book from Shannon with loads of useful information which really helped us get ready for our new arrival. If an Australian Labradoodle is what you are looking for Willows is the place to go. They are born into a loving family home and are given the best possible start.”

“Super reliable breeder” – Matt I.

“Super reliable breeder with great communication! She just wants the puppies to go to great homes with caring families. His temperament is great and we have had no issues at all with his health. Not to mention he has slept through the night every time since we brought him home. 100% would recommend.”

“Born into a family home” – Phil M., owner of Louis

“We can’t recommend Willows highly enough – our dog Louis is two years old and is friendly, full of life and was so well behaved and full of fun from the first day we got him. We think it’s because at Willows he’s born into a family home where he received lots of love and attention from the start.”

“Kara is just an ace puppy” – Paul R., owner of two Willows dogs

“We've had Kara (Snowy) now for 10 months and couldn't be happier. It was my first dog and Shannon makes sure you are matched with the correct temperament puppy from the litter. That said, all the puppies were absolutely adorable. The puppies begin life in a loving family home, which alongside the breed itself is why I am sure Kara is so friendly, confident and just an ace puppy to be around.”
