We live in Newfoundland and during the process of researching for a new family puppy my husband kept returning to Sheila Reiber’s website for Labradoodle puppies. We were both impressed with the information provided on her website as well as the information regarding Sheila’s approach to breeding/raising/training her puppies in a “Puppy Culture” environment.
We read that the puppies were born and raised with love, nurturing, fun and care in Sheila’s home with her and her family and were socialized on a daily/weekly basis. This approach was new to us, and we became really interested in finding out more information. In consideration of the distance, we knew we would have to make our decision while still in Newfoundland. We asked a lot of questions and Sheila responded to every inquiry. What impressed us was her sincere approach and her ability to be candid, honest, and direct in her responses and provide education and valuable information and alleviate any concerns we might have. We have five young grandchildren so we wanted to ensure that her puppies would be a good fit. Sheila made herself available for video chats and/or to send photos. As well, there was four puppies available when we first connected with Sheila, and she patiently assisted us as we selected one of the four puppies (Marcie) as a good fit for our family and lifestyle. We choose not to fly Marcie in the cargo of the plane, so we decided to travel and with the help of Sheila’s husband we were able to meet and work out a plan to bring Marcie home with us. Marcie is a smart, beautiful, loving, sensitive and fun-loving puppy who adapts well to all situations. She is 6 months old and is just wonderful with all our family especially our grandchildren and with everyone she meets. Marcie does well when she goes to the vet and the groomers and plays well with other dogs. We have found that she is energetic, so we try to get her for a walk every day. She likes going in the car, loves outdoors and likes to sit on our deck and especially in the grass and observe nature. It’s easy to see Marcie is used to doing that from her time with Sheila and her family in BC. Sheila had her crate trained as well as being trained for outdoors when she came home with us. It’s lovely to watch how much fun Marcie has with toys and the games she comes up with to amuse herself and no doubt was well used to playing at an early age with her siblings. She has a beautiful coat which seems to dry quickly if she has been playing outside. We can’t express enough what a wonderful and positive experience it has been to welcome a puppy from It’s a Doodle K9 Service in East Sooke, BC all the way to Paradise, NL. We know this comes back to the love and attention given by Sheila and her family. Sheila, thank you so much for how helpful you have been to us in helping us select Marcie and how much love and care you give to your puppies so that families can go on to experience these beautiful memories.
Amazing service! We got Akua in January 2021 and we love her so much! It’s a Doodle service is excellent, very responsible, we got a lot of communication before getting Akua, and everything has been great! ❤️ 200% recommended! Akua is 3 and she’s a great dog! ——-
In the Summer of 2022, we decided to purchase a labradoodle from “It’s a Doodle K9 Service “. This was the best decision we ever made! The amount of training and love that Sheila puts into her puppies is absolutely amazing. We never even had to kennel train or potty train him and he even sat on command.
He is also not scared in any way of loud sounds. We have never had a dog that is not scared of fireworks, shot guns or air compressors.Odin has been such an amazing doodle we decided to get another one aka Schroeder in the Spring of 2023. With such fun-loving behavior both Odin and Schroeder love everything and everyone they encounter, especially kids… This breed is such an amazing family dog and will do anything to please you.So, if you have a chance to get one of these amazing dogs from Sheila at It’s a Doodle K9 Service you will never look back but will probably get another dog from her.. lol ——
We got our doodle (Ella) in January 2021. This was our first ever puppy and we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect puppy!!!! Sheila did such an amazing job exposing her to all kinds of things. Ella is so gentle and loving. Never have to worry around young kids.
She’s also super smart. Very easy to train. Would definitely go through Sheila again for another Labradoodle
We had a wonderful experience with It’s a Doodle K9 Service! Even with us living two provinces away, we still felt very comfortable and confident during the entire process. Would definitely recommend!
We were so impressed with all aspects of our experience with It’s A Doodle K9 Service. From the moment we decided to add a furry friend to our home we were kept well informed with weekly photos and a few visits. We were also provided with great information about how to care and train the new puppy and what you can expect.
When our sweet pup came home you could immediately tell that she was well loved and well trained. Highly recommend this Breeder if you’re looking to add a furry friend to your home!
Beyond impressed with the breeder. Right from the beginning I could tell she had such a passion for the puppies! I appreciated the updates and video calls as the puppies grew, as it allowed me to feel like I was experiencing it all along side her. They were extremely well taken care of and very well adjusted.
This was even more evident when my new puppy was amazing right from the beginning of getting her. Definitely could tell she was greatly loved and cared for in the first 8 weeks with the breeder. The breeder went above and beyond. Even after I took puppy home, she was more than willing to answer any questions, give advice and be supportive as we transitioned. Words can’t describe how amazing the breeder is!
Goofy is just the most wonderful puppy we could have hoped for. Sheila, you do an amazing job. For anyone who is looking for a labradoodle, you can’t go wrong with Sheila. A more careful, caring and trustworthy breeder, not to mention great puppy Mom, would be hard to find. Sheila, if anyone would like a personal reference, you are welcome to give them our phone number.
