See what previous adopters have to say about their puppies and their experience with Shining Star Doodles.
We had a great experience and our family would highly recommend Shining Star Doodles for anyone looking to add a new little love to their home.
My gosh, we love this little dog. We picked up our puppy in July, and she is the sweetest little thing. She’s so funny and loving, and she’s incredibly smart too.
When we started looking for a new puppy, I saw Shining Star Doodles recommended many times, on several different platforms. Our last dog was purchased through a backyard breeder, and the difference between them and our experience with Shari, was night and day. Shari is incredibly knowledgeable and extremely informative. We got weekly update emails on our litter, and many product and training recommendations along the way. The Facebook posts were a favorite of our daughter who would check several times a day for an update. We still look back on those photos and videos, since they were so sweet.
The puppy meet and greet was also fantastic. We got to meet and fall in love with all of the little ones (and Mom too), and also got to connect with other families in the litter. It was such a fun treat to be able to meet and cuddle our future baby, when she was much smaller. I love looking back at those pictures.

I cannot recommend Shining Star Doodles enough. Should also note, I did EXTENSIVE research before deciding to go with Shining Star.
Shari(the owner) is absolutely wonderful, knowledgeable, caring, and clearly passionate about what she does. She goes above and beyond to give these puppies the best possible start in life – which also includes getting on a potty schedule, early stimulation training, and self-soothing in a crate. In addition, Shari is super patient. I had 100000000 questions and she was always happy to answer. Shari also makes sure that each puppy comes home with a care package and a BUNCH of information to make the transition to homes super seamless. Btw, my pup is close to 12 weeks and not a single accident in our home!!!! We are so grateful she chose us to bring home our sweet Mango. She is the best puppy we have ever had, mellow, smart, playful, and a joy every single day. You can tell she came from a breeder who truly loves and invests in her dogs. Ten stars all the way! 🌟

I have several dogs from Shari at Shining Star Doodles and have always had the best experience.
Each one is more spectacular than the last. Shari is honest, kind, and knowledgeable in the breed. She is your go-to premier Goldendoodle breeder and I would not hesitate recommending her to anyone!

We loved every step of the way with Shinning Star Doodles. They go above and beyond in care, health and the beginning of training and socialization. Our goldendoodle is wonderful and we can’t imagine a better outcome!

10/10 would recommend working with Shari!
We recently got our puppy from her & the experience from start to finish was great. Even after the puppy comes home, Shari is there to help with any questions. This is NOT a puppy mill! The litter stays in the house, is exposed to training, and receives so much love. I found her through “Denver Doodles” on Facebook and each person said they have puppies with amazing temperaments!

I can not say enough about how amazing our experience with Shari and Shining Star Doodles has been.
First, and most important, our puppy has brought more love and joy to our home than we could have ever imagined. Shari and her family spent so much time getting us and our puppy ready that adoption day was a breeze. She slept through the night in her kennel from day one. Shari sends weekly emails and updates to make sure you are set up for success.
Shari also has a heart of gold and when an unexpected family hardship came up (not a puppy problem) she was right by our side to help make sure we could still give our puppy a loving home. We would not hesitate to recommend Shining Star Doodles to anyone looking to add a little fluffy ball of love to their life.

I just reread all the updates you sent out to prospective owners for Dixie and Archie’s litter. I was reminded the thoroughness of information provided to prospective owners during the time the puppies were growing up and getting ready for their new homes. I also noted that Benji (Cadbury) weighed in at 9.2! Yes he was the biggest in the litter and perfect for me!
As I began to consider a Goldendoodle for our family I had no idea where to start. Looked locally but did not find a breeder I knew or felt comfortable trying. I found GANA (Goldendoodle Association of North America) to be so helpful. Rating breeders and criteria I valued helped me locate breeders. Why did Shining Star Doodles stand out for me? I began reaching out to breeders and spoke with Shari Hall. Shari was willing to talk with me and guide me through the process of her standards. What was reassuring was her willingness to listen and answer all my questions. I did not find another breeder willing to do that. Next I was so completely impressed with the protocol Shari had/has for breeding, raising puppies including her use of neuro stimulation during the early weeks of life. I knew about this for human infants and was surprised to know Shari utilized this with the puppies. Shari provided weekly videos on the continued socialization, training, along with weekly updates on the litter’s progress. Shari’s careful breeding choices to assure to the best of her ability a healthy litter was very important to me.
I continue to recommend Shari Hall and Shining Star Doodles for anyone interested in a Goldendoodle for their family. I did just recommend her to a neighbor who was taken with Benji (our boy from Dixie and Archie) while we were out for a walk.
I remain grateful for finding Shari and to have 2 happy healthy Goldendoodles 5 and 3/1/2 who make our lives happier as a result of their wonderful dispositions!

Hope this finds you and your family well and happy.
Love to Lucy and Archie and Dixie!
