Four months ago two of my best friends brought me to Al-bark - I am so happy they did. I got Murphy formerly known as Forest. He is so calm and sweet. After adjusting he has just fit in perfectly. My husband was recently diagnosed with a gbm and Murphy is always right beside him. He has brought us so much joy. The process was so easy and the owner could not have been anymore nice and accommodating. Thank you

We purchased our F1b Goldendoodle Margot (formally Sophia) from Al Bark Kennels back in March and we are so in love! She is almost 1 year old now and she so beautiful and she is the sweetest , most lovable, smartest and well behaved puppy! On top of that as soon as we got her home we took her to the vet for a wellness check and the doctor said she is in perfect health, up to date on all her shots and she does not have parasites! Excellent breeder !!

We picked up our girl, Fiona Reign in September. She is now 6 months old. An absolute beauty & joy to our family. She’s a great girl. Friendly & loving. She was 1000% against crate training, she just wants to always be with her people and we are delighted to have her. She’s a typical Doodle, her style, her personality and we can’t wait to watch her continue to grow. Dealing with this Breeder was top notch. Our first pup was found to have a heart murmur, the Breeder told us and gave me the option of purchasing or passing. I thought that was top notch professional. The farm was in a beautiful setting in Western MD. Close to Deep Creek Lake which allowed us a weekend get away too. I would recommend to anyone and we are even considering a second pup this year. Thank you.

Picked up our snuggle bug golden doodle in early September. She is the best dog....beautiful healthy and loving. friendly staff and beautiful setting. Kennels where mom and pups held were clean and roomy. They offered to allow us to see the mom and siblings while our pup was getting her bath. We r very happy with our interactions with this family run kennel.

I can’t say enough how thankful we are for our fur baby Oliver (previously Iggy). He is so special to us. He’s so smart and gorgeous. Al-Bark kennels was wonderful! They did everything to be helpful and answered all of my nagging questions. Sometimes when a litter is born you don’t find what you’re looking for and when I decided I wanted to wait for the next one, they made everything completely easy. We are just crazy in love with him. He’s almost 10 months old and just perfect! He’s been to the vet several times for checkups and to get all of his shots and he’s healthy and happy. I would definitely recommend Al-Bark Kennels!
