We have named her Molly and she is now 6 months old. Molly has made a wonderful little sister and companion for our 17 month old dog, Bentley. She is just adorable and has a big personality! We couldn't have asked for more in our new family member. Barbara gave us so many helpful tips and was genuinely interested in helping Molly adapt to her new home and new family members. Molly has a sunny disposition, gets along well with other dogs, cats and humans. She loves to cuddle, play with her PVC pipe and spend time with Bentley and us. We love how she smiles when she sleeps! Barbara is a very responsible, caring breeder. She allowed us to tour her kennels and they were spotless! All of her dogs seemed to be happy and in good health. Molly has had absolutely no health problems and has always seemed happy and healthy! We cannot image our life without Molly!

She is my first dog, and has been a blessing to my family. She has the best disposition, is great with kids, quick to learn, and healthy.

She is a beautiful little girl very playful and very lovable The first two weeks were a little tough, but I must say this little girl is very smart she sleeps great and she is crate trained and very good at letting us know when she needs to go , she stands by the door.

Rocco was two in September. He is the healthiest dog I have ever owned and just as sweet as he can be. He is playful like a puppy but well behaved and easy to train. His chocolate coat has gotten a lot lighter. I will try to send pictures when I can. I check your website frequently and especially enjoy seeing the Fancy/Buddy pups because I know what a treat their new owners are going to have. I also enjoy seeing Alli as she is Rocco's littermate and his face is just like hers except for the color. He is a great companion and the highlight of his day is when he wakes up and goes room to room to lick each member of the family and wag his whole body along with his tail.

He had been called Spunky on paper but when we got him home he didnt seem to come when we called out Spunky and Barbara told us when she had a group of the doggie parents out running and playing she would just holler "hey girls " and they would all come running, we just kept coming up with names we liked and it was very cool when we said you remind us of Tramp from the Disney movie "Lady and the Tramp" personality wise and even the adorable face and expressions, well his little black and white ears perked up and he did that thing that dogs do when they cock their head from side to side as if they are really listening and understanding you and by God now I know they are listening. We started calling him Tramp and he would come to us and then he started running to us cause he knew something good was going to happen when we called his name, either food, play, go for walk ( sometimes I think I can get him to bring me his leash soon it just hangs over a speaker stand near the door and just slides off, I am working on it. I know he is smart enough to get the idea cause he goes right for it when i go toward the door to get it and he knows he's getting a nice long walk, also do you know that this dog turning three on November 22 and his training has been so easy, he has had only 2 accidents on the floor(in the first week) and that is all. we are crate training him just like a puppy and he goes right in the crate at night as its under our table so he sees everyone (cats included-they lay down too) and doesnt feel lonely at night cause he knows when i turn TV off and lights off it sleepy time and he goes in and lays down, he is just so gorgeous and lovable and smart and everything else you could say about a good dog. I can tell him No when he starts to run too close to other big dogs in the neighborhood, cause they dont know him too well yet, so me and my neighbors are slowly getting him to not worry about me ( they are also very protective about their owners and he will be still right by my side until I say "OK they're good people tramp and then he stops and lets everone pet him and he now has a group of people friends and new doggie friends, Oh WE love him so much. We picked him up on Oct 8 and that day will live in my heart forever cause not only did i get the second love of my life )my husband Larry being the first), my son Jason and daughter-in-law Whitney blessed me with my 5th grandchild (3rd grandaughter)that very same day, so everything was as it should be. Barbara has made our life so much fuller and we are so happy. If we have a dog that is almost three and has all these wonderful qualities in him from their loving and caring for him, them just imagine how (if you are lucky enough to get one of her puppies) that she has trained from birth till they are placed in your loving arms to become part of your family and believe me they are part of your heart as soon as you look into their eyes and a look passes between you and your new baby they are then just like your child which is really a blessing for both your family and friends who get to partake in his or her life from almost the very beginning. I got Tramp at over two years old and he is so loved and gives back his love a hundred times over so we (as in all of the new families of Barbara's puppies and dogs) are the lucky ones cause we have been given a gift of unconditional love from these beautiful animals, My mama still says always be grateful for the good things in life and you will be rewarded. Looking in Tramp's eyes show me the truth in something I use to take for granted. THANKS again Barbara & hubby for probably giving me one of the greatest gifts in my life with the exception of my family (Larry, Jason & Whitney , Jennifer & Tim, my grandkids Alison, Kyrin, Timmy, Giselle, and my newborn grandaughter Gianna ) Oooops almost forgot, we have 2 cats(BB & Ruffles) who are so in love with Tramp and 4 turtles, which there isnt a whole lotta of playing going on there as I am afraid the turtles will bite his nose or something, so he just looks at them and cocks his head and is probably saying "WHAT are these things and why are they swimming in all that water ?...hehe. Live, Love and enjoy this beautiful, loving new addition to your family. We are and couldnt be happier. If you want a furry addition to your family, then think of my story and i believe from the bottom of my heart that Barbara and her family prepare these puppies for their new home and new lives with someone, they do it with love, kindness, socializing with other dogs and children and the rest is up to you as their start in life begins when they have their new mom & dad and kids, or just mom and dad. Larry and I call him out retirement gift to ourselves, even tho he is still working it was the greatest gift we ever gave ourselves.

We have two boys (3 & 5) and Figaro is like a brother to them. When I met Figaro as a little baby I thought he was the cutest thing and he just gets cuter everyday. His personality, sweetness, playfulness is a testimony to the wonderful Cockapoos that Barbara breeds. Barbara was wonderful to work with and so helpful with questions and making sure we had everything we needed when Figaro came home. The facility is very well kept and you can tell all the dogs are well cared for and loved. They have their own little home - quite adorable. I never would have thought I would become so attached to Figaro but I can't imagine him not being a part of our family. We are considering getting another Cockapoo too!

He's such a joy to have around the house and has brought a lot of happiness to my life and my entire family. Noah is a tiny little cotton ball of fluff that everyone adores. I flew to NC to get him and as soon as I walked into my terminal, I could see strangers admiring him and a beaming, friendly woman suggling him who I knew must have been Barbara. From the moment he was born to the day I got Noah (and beyond) Barbara has been friendly, easy to reach and is always willing to answer any questions I might have. This is a breeder that truly cares about the well being of her puppies and her clients. Don't hesitate to send pictures and updates to Barbara as she'd love to hear from you! At eight 1/2 weeks old and having only been home 5 days, Noah is already on his way to being crate trained and is getting the hang of clicker training as well. His training classes start October 11th and I can't wait to have him travel with me! I think the best thing though, is that he has brought such joy to my grandfather, who recently lost his dog. He and Noah are snuggle buddies and I'm so glad to see "the boys" together. Noah just came hom from his first vet visit and got a flawless report. Thank you Barbara for everything and if anyone out there is looking for a good breeder (my search took months) stop right here, because you've found the perfect place in Carolina Cockapoos!

Finnegan is a sweet boy with a wonderful personality who loves to cover all our family in kisses. He has been a very easy puppy to train and is almost completely housebroken at 4 months old. Barbara is a wonderful resource for any questions and truly cares about what happens to her puppies after they leave. She wants to know how they are doing and looks forward to getting updated pictures. I would not hesitate to recommend Barbara to anyone looking for a new puppy. Both our cockapoos are healthy and happy dogs and I could not imagine our life without them.! We recently purchased our second cockapoo from Barbara and are thrilled (again) at the new addition.

We spoke with her and wanted a black female cockapoo. At that time she didn't have one - but had a chocolate female. Every week she posted pictures of Molly and each week she seemed to get cuter and cuter. When it was time for Molly to begiven to us and we saw her in person, she was simply beautiful. About 3 lbs of chocolate fluff. We hadn't had a puppy in years, so Barbara gave us some helpful hints and said pets are a lifetime commitment. Molly's given us countless hours of enjoyment. She loves to be around people and especially likes to play with the "kids". Molly will be 3 years old Nov. 9th. The vet gives her a report card when she's due for shots etc and she always gets an excellent report. Molly has a wonderful personality and to us she is a true bundle of joy.
