“We got our precious Dixie from Callie at Shadow Pine Labradoodles last year. Our whole experience was wonderful. She truly loves what she does and it shows! She invests tons of time into making sure her litters are healthy, well-trained and her clients are happy with their new family member. Callie is very knowledgeable regarding the breed and is eager to share training tips and videos she makes while working with her dogs. She has built an exceptional and ethical program in Shadow Pine Labradoodles. The puppies are absolutely gorgeous, highly intelligent and have the best little personalities!!! If you’re looking for an Australian Labradoodle, give Shadow Pine a call. You won’t regret it!!”

“Shadow Pine Labradoodles has been the most amazing experience for our family! Callie is an attentive breeder that is in business for the right reasons. She loves these puppies as her own and truly invests in them. When we picked up our sweet ALD on day 1, she could sit to say please and understood to potty outside. She has yet to have an accident and I owe that to her amazing start that was fostered by Callie. If you are looking to add a doodle to your family, look no further!”

“We have had the best experience with Shadowpine. Callie is so sweet and so thorough with you, and actually takes time to ensure you have a wonderful experience. I can’t say enough how exciting this whole experience has been, and the puppies are so well taken care of, and the sweetest! You can tell that Callie is not just any dog breeder, she absolutely loves what she does and it definitely shows!!! 100% recommend shadowpine for your puppy to be! She has also helped us so much even after bringing our baby home. We can’t be any happier!!!”

“Callie and SPL are just amazing. I never thought I would use a breeder, but Callie is in this business because she is truly passionate about what she does. Each puppy is given the most amazing start to life and truly loved and cared for like they are their own. Our experience from start to finish was absolutely incredible. Callie is informative, knowledgeable, loving, and overall just such a special person to be able to work with. We are so fortunate to be able to add a SPL puppy to our family! Callie, we are grateful for you!!! 💕”

“I highly recommend Shadow Pines Labradoodles to anyone looking for a sweet loving dog. The first adult Shadow Pines dog that we met was mama Wren. We absolutely fell in love with her gentle sweet personality and could envision what a puppy from Shadow Pines will grow to be. Callie’s grooming FB video (March 28, 2022) in which Wren was the subject, leaning/loving it all, is a great example of what anyone’s new pup from Shadow Pines will grow to be. Callie has given us not only a wonderful new puppy but also a great experience. It has been 20 years since we have had a puppy and 10 year since our last dog, so we have felt we needed a refresher in what to expect and she has guided us well thru her shared videos and guidance documents. In prep for the puppy coming home, we watched several of Callie’s previous Facebook and Instagram vidoes about grooming, training, etc. They were a great help in preparing ourselves and our home for our puppy. She has communicated details of the process and agreement well where we did not have any surprises. We have also been impressed with our 8 week old Coco puppy. She is showing us response to the training that Callie has already done prior to the 8 week go home day. Coco will sit (no jumping up) and give eye contact when she wants attention/treats from the first day home. Coco will go to the outside door and do her business outside the first day we brought her home. Coco was also comfortable the first night with going into and napping inside her crate. We are so very glad we chose Shadow Pines and love being part of the “Shadow Pines Labradoodle family”!”

“I can’t say enough good things about Shadow Pine Labradoodles. You are not only getting a beautiful puppy, but so much early training and care from the breeder. Callie goes above and beyond. I doubt there are many breeders out there that provide, not only great service, but she is extremely knowledgeable and willing to share and take the time to educate you as well.”

“I couldn’t recommend Shadow Pines enough. We’ve had our puppy for a little over a year now and she’s so far exceeded our expectations. She is a smart, loving, and a beautiful dog. Callie was great about keeping us informed with litter updates all the way to care and training after we brought her home. We’ll absolutely be getting another puppy from here in the future.”

“I do not have one of these pups because I have a dog that is plenty for me however I have never seen a breeder take so much time and wonderful care with their puppies. SPL does it best! No wonder their dogs are so sought after! Just watch their posts and you will learn how it should be done.”

“UPDATE:
I brought my SPL puppy home and I can’t say enough good things about Callie and the SPL family. My dog, Willie, stayed with Callie for an extra 2-3 weeks past “gotcha day” as we were out of the country. Callie sent us daily videos, pictures, and updates. Coming home at about 11 weeks, Willie was about 90% potty trained (I can count how many accident’s he has had on my fingers, for most other puppies that statement only holds true for a week at most, for Willie this is true for his entire life so far), was absolutely in love with his crate (went in on his volition for every nap and meals), and was already desensitized to grooming making sanitary clippings and nail trimming a breeze. Callie really gave him the best foundation possible for a successful life. At 5mos old he has already mastered sit, down, place, stay, come, touch, leave it, potty, and is already an off leash dog even when distractions are around. Like I said below, yes you can find other reputable breeders, but Callies love for her dogs, the work that she puts in to set them up for success, and her “customer service” (she has stayed on the phone to answer my training questions sometimes for almost an hour out of the love she has for her dogs and wanting to help me be in the best position to care for her pup) are unmatched. I live in NYC and chose to go with SPL in SC over any other NY/NJ breeder and I absolutely stand by that decision.

——————————————————
I am currently awaiting my SPL puppy and will be sure to update this review once I do. As of now, while I am waiting my turn for my own little pupp, I will say that Callie’s love and passion for her dogs have been unmatched to all other breeders I have been in contact with (and believe me, I spoke to A LOT). You may be able to find other ethical breeders, but Callie goes above and beyond just being an ethical breeder. This is her true passion and by taking a look at SPLs Facebook page, it shows. Callie has practically lived her life caring for all sorts of animals ranging from dogs to horses. SPL has so far been extremely transparent throughout the entire process and I have no doubt I am in good hands. If you are looking for your own labradoodle, I highly suggest checking out their page on Facebook and giving them a call yourself. Callie is very quick to respond and will truly make you feel heard, understood, and comfortable!
