Central Illinois Doodles

We have now had our sweet Sailor (formerly Ruth) home for a little over a week. She is the most sociable, free-spirited, intelligent puppy our family has had! I cannot give enough praise and thanks to John and his family. They put their heart into caring for their litters, which was clear from the moment we stepped in to the nursery on pick up day. John was so communicative and transparent during the adoption process. I HIGHLY recommend Central Illinois Doodles to anyone looking to add a sweet addition to their family. Thank you Jess family!

Our experience with Central Illinois Doodles has been nothing short of amazing. We searched high and low for the best breeders and we’re so happy that we chose Central Illinois Doodles. In our initial research, we read through every single testimonial on their website and on all other platforms we could find. In these reviews, you’ll quickly learn that they have an incredible reputation for being honest, flexible, and communicative every step of the way! Our experience was no different. From beginning to end, John has been tremendously patient and responsive to the endless questions my husband and I had. Through his responses, it was obvious that he was an expert on this breed, but what was most evident was his genuine passion and love for these animals. This was also confirmed when we arrived to pick up our puppies and actually saw how much affection all of the dogs displayed to John. My husband and I live in San Francisco, and we can’t thank John enough for his flexibility of the day/time of pick up, as well as his expert advice on the logistics of bringing our little Marlowe back home on the plane. My husband and I chose our girl, Marlowe (previously Shanda), and our sister chose her girl, Lia (previously Aaliyah), from Princess and Bo’s litter in September 2020. Both of our dogs have been such a joyful addition to each of our households— both dogs are smart, beautiful, loving, well- tempered, and most importantly, very healthy. Our vet continues to validate her good health, while our family members, friends, and many strangers constantly praise and adore her! John and his family are wonderful people to work with. So much that our family returned twice more for two more puppies! - Sunny and Calvin

Was extremely happy with how knowledgeable and helpful John was. He was able to provide useful insight into how to start training our new puppy and get him accustomed to living with his new family! John also gave us a tour of his facility and a chance to meet Bo and Piper, our puppies parents, which was an amazing experience. Tolkien, formerly Tirox, has already become a big part of our family and has adapted to our home very quickly. Overall, central Illinois doodles was able to go above and beyond expectations and I look forward to working with them in the future!

My experience with Central Illinois Doodles Is definitely 5 star. During the adoption process, John was always available to answer all my questions and concerns. He and his family raise dogs that are healthy, have sweet temperaments, and get a good start socializing. We just celebrating Annie’s 1st birthday. She is everything we hoped she would be...healthy, smart, easy to train, loves people and animals and oh so cute. On our daily walks, I often have people stop and ask lots of questions about her breed, coloring and markings. I always direct them to Central Illinois Doodles....reputable breeders who treat their dogs like family.
