Ive had 3 dogs from Donna

Ive had 3 dogs from Donna, upon viewing the pups i met mum and dad and siblings, the area in which the pups were kept was impecably clean and so were the puppies. Once we decided to purchase one of Donnas puppies we were given a puppy contract which protected us as buyers and a life time of advice if needed, Donna has always been at the end of a phone if ever i was unsure of anything and kept in regular contact. I cant recommend Donna enough or her dogs, this is why i have gone to her 3 times for my dogs , as i feel i can trust her and she puts her heart and soul in to producing the best and healthy dogs possible,

Thank you Sheena for your review, I do my very best to ensure my babies are kept in first class accommodation, hygiene is a very important part of my daily regime, cross contamination is my pet hate and I go above and beyond to ensure each and every puppy and adults sleeping and exercise area is extremely clean and using the correct cleaning solutions is paramount!

Most of my owners come back for more than 1 puppy once they see the quality, type and temperament I produce x

Having been involved with the Douge de…

Having been involved with the Douge de Bordeaux for the past years 12 years I have to commend Donna Jay on the quality of Dogue de Bordeaux she produces on a consistent basis. The Bordeuax is a working breed and Donnas Dogues are healthy and fit for function. Her bloodlines are well desired and dogues true to type.
Donnas breeding places highly at Championship Dog shows taking many Best of Breeds.
As a licensed breeder she puts her all into her passion, and her attention to detail shines through in her litters.
Her experience is second to none, and there is nobody better to offer support and advice which she continues to provide after her puppies have left for their forever homes.
I am lucky enough to have a Donna Jay Bordeaux at home with me and couldn't recommend a better producer of this Beautiful Breed.
Keep up the good work Donna 👏

Baby Boy Buzz

My fiancé and I picked up our baby boy yesterday afternoon after 2 weeks of updates and reassurance about him from Donna.
Donna was very helpful in answering our never ending list of questions and supplied us with medical documentation for not only his mum and dad, but also mums grandparents.
This is our first puppy together and we could not be happier! Donna had already started the toilet training process which means he hasn’t had any accidents in the 2 days he’s been settling into his new home!
We are looking forward to our little family of 3 thanks to Donna!

We picked up our happy little Cavapoo pup
From Donna on Boxing Day. She’s absolutely gorgeous and so calm, chilled and confident I think she’s going to be a great dog companion to our older Cavapoo.
Donna is a genuine lady who clearly just loves dogs and placing them in good homes.
I have already recommended her to a family member who is collecting a pup next week! Thank you Donna.

Thank you donna for giving us our best friend!

The Dogue De Bordeaux we have from Donna is the best thing we have done for our family. She is the most beautiful, patient and loving dog I have ever known and is, as corny as it sounds, my best friend. You could not ask for a better dog. Donna is absolutely fantastic and does every thing in her power to ensure her dogs are going to a good home and live a good life, which was what attracted us to getting our dog from her in the first place. Our dog turned 1 today and even a year on we contact Donna to show how our beautiful girl is getting on and growing into the lovely dog she is. I would not hesitate in recommending getting a douge de Bordeaux and if you are, only go to Donna.

We picked up our gorgeous little Irish doodle from Donna in September. We contacted Donna to show our interest in the puppy and the communication from day 1 was fantastic. She answered every question open and honestly and once we made the decision to go ahead with the puppy we had regular updates and pictures until she was ready to pick up. Upon collection we had a very thorough handover and all documentation was given for health checks and treatments. I would definitely recommend Donna as a breeder.

Thank you Dave for your review, it’s so important for people to feel comfortable with their breeder as theirs so many unscrupulous breeders it’s a mine field for those in search of a new baby to join their families, it’s also just as daunting for me as a breeder making sure my babies are placed in loving forever homes, I have to carefully select the correct owners to ensure my much loved babies are going to be loved and cared for forever, I do as many laboratory health tests as the breed requires to ensure my babies are genetically clear of any sinister diseases, having gone to so much trouble to ensure their health it would be very unethical of me not to care where they went, it’s such a very careful process placing my pups and I can’t please everyone when doing so, but those I choose to take a puppy are always over the moon 🌝

Cavapoo Puppy

We collected our gorgeous Cavapoo from Donna at the end of August. We have no hesitation in recommending her as a breeder. She arrived already partly toilet trained and takes everything in her stride as a result of her wonderful start in life with Donna.

Totally Professional and Supportive

I picked up my Cavapoo male puppy from Donna back in March. He is 8 months old and truely amazing - He is extremely sociable, fully house trained (didn't take long!) and very, very handsome! He came laboratory checked and I was given all of the paperwork along with that of his parents too. He interacts well with other dogs and has a really gentle nature.
If ever I have a question re his development Donna is on hand to give valuable advice and reassurance! Donna kept me fully informed of his development and sent photographs at each stage.
Excellent professional service !

Irish doodle

We have just picked up our Irish Doodle puppy from Donna Jay. He is absolutely gorgeous. Donna is very professional and thorough and made sure all the paperwork was clear including all the laboratory health tests which was very reassuring. Not having used a breeder before we weren’t sure what to expect but felt very reassured by the process and we are absolutely delighted with the new addition to our family.

Excellent & caring breeder

After losing our beloved labradoodle earlier on in the summer, we were struggling without a dog, so went in search for a puppy. We found Donnajays Irish doodle litter, & after serious consideration we decided to contact the breeder. Donna s customer service has been excellent from the start, keeping us up to date, over 5 weeks, providing pictures & videos. She has also given us useful information regarding diet, development & general care. Donna showed us relevant health information about both parents. We met mum & the other remaining siblings. We are now the proud owners of a beautiful, healthy, happy & confident puppy. Donna obviously cares about her babies & wants us to keep in touch. She takes great pride in producing excellent dogs & we want to thank her wholeheartedly for our new baby.

Irish Doodle

On 3rd September 2021 we collected our perfect Irish Doodle from Donna Jay. Initially I was a bit wary with Donna not allowing pre visits, but having done some due diligence and eventually meeting Donna and our pups mum and siblings, I am so pleased we went ahead. The set up Donna has is excellent and the medical/health documents of the pups lineage is excellent. Likewise the advice Donna gave us before collection made things a lot smoother.

Our puppy joined us at 8 weeks old. She was already practically toilet trained making things so much easier for us. We took her to our vet for a check up in the first few days, and the vet described her as perfect.

I would highly recommend Donna and can't thank her enough for being true to her word and giving us an amazing girl that will give us years of happiness and has made my daughters dreams come true.

Hi mark it’s those last words that’s makes it so important for me to run a tight ship! “Making your daughters dream come true”

Cross contamination is any breeders nightmare….. the more traffic through your door the more chance of infections and disease entering your breeding establishment, the only way I can 100% guarantee their health is limiting the chance of cross contamination,

I know when each and every puppy leaves me at 8 weeks or just after I have done everything I can hand on heart to ensure their health is 110%

I can close my eyes at night with no concerns as I do everything right and it shows when my customers get their puppies, I have so many tears of joy and happy smiling faces from children and parents

It’s priceless this is what makes all the hard work worthwhile, those 7 days a week with no holidays no weekend breaks it’s not an easy job and people don’t see how hard we have to work to make sure everything runs smoothly

But having honest and genuine reviews makes it’s the hard work worthwhile

The BEST

Donna gave us the most fantastic companion we could ever have wanted for our family. She was so kind and knowledgeable. We had our Maggie (formerly known as Grace) in April this year and we would never have another breed, or use another breeder again.
I know that if I ever needed to ask a question I could drop donna a message and she would be available to help in any way she could. One of the best breeders around.

Thank you Donna x

I've known Donna for over 10 years, and bought my first beautiful Dogue de Bordeaux (Millie) off her 9 years ago. Sadly i lost her last year, I didn't think about ringing anyone else but Donna when iIdecided to get another one, but when i rang all of the puppies had gone so i waited for the next litter to be born.
I now have another beautiful Dogue de Bordeaux named Nellie, She is perfect.
Donna is a lovely well trusted lady and i wouldn't buy a dog off anyone else. She definitely knows her stuff.
Thank you Donna x
