Amazing breeder

We bought our cavapoo puppy back in May from Donna. From the moment we spoke to Donna we knew we were in good hands. All her puppies come with health checks and the parents have laboratory health certificates which is extremely important. Our puppy is such a chilled well behaved boy and that comes from having such a great breeder. This is the most important aspect when buying a puppy but is sadly overlooked. Since we brought him home, he took to toilet training so quickly as Donna had already started the process. He has adapted to every situation and we couldn’t be without him.
I would not hesitate in recommending Donna if you are looking for a puppy.

Excellent breeder…

We picked up our cavapoo girl puppy from Donna back in March. She is now 8 months old and is an amazing little dog. She is sociable, healthy, exceptionally trainable and so pretty I can’t believe our luck. The whole experience with Donna was very easy and she made sure we got the puppy we were looking for. Her parents were both health checked and we were given copies of the certificates.
I would have no hesitation in getting a second pup from Donna and have recommended her to others looking for pups.

Friendly and Professional Service

Donna Jay provides a fantastic and professional service. We had our puppy from her almost 5 years ago and we are still in contact now. The Inital days and weeks bringing home a puppy can be quite daunting but Donna was available to take our calls to help settle our pup onto our home. She also provides a professional stud service which we have also used. I would 100% recommend her services.

Donna was fantastic. From the moment i made initial contact until I took delivery of the dogs, she kept me informed every step of the way as to the progress of the puppies. I have now purchased two Dogues from Donna and wouldn't hesitate to take more.

Best breeder around.

I've purchased 2 dogue de bordeaux's from Donna over the years.
I wouldn't get a dog from anybody else.
She's very professional and loves her dogs.
She was on the other end of the phone from the initial enquiry to the moment we had to say goodbye to our first dog.
All of Donna's dogs have the best temperament and make the best family dogs.
I would highly recommend Donna to all my friends and family to purchase their dogs.

Donna is an amazing breeder

Donna is an amazing breeder. She explained everything from the beginning to end. She was very polite, Kind and caring. I received regular updates via phone , and also photos and videos via what’s app. My puppy was chipped, and had he’s first vaccinations. Donna also made sure he had flea and worm treatment. He came home with a puppy pack with lots of goodies. Donna went through all the relevant paperwork with me before I left. She genuinely cares about the mummy’s and her puppies. Not only did she update me every step of the way she is also there on hand after you have taken the puppy home. ( just incase you need any advice). I would definitely recommend Donna as a 5 star plus breeder, she goes above and beyond for you and the puppies ! Amazing lady and my puppy is a dream. He came home and knew how to use a puppy pad, he ate well and slept well! I have a toy poodle and Donna kept him well brushed and clean! We as a family couldn’t be happier with our little fluffy puppy x

Irish doodle puppy…

We collected our gorgeous Irish doodle from Donna last week . He’s a super confident and well looked after puppy with our vet stating “a lovely boy , calm confident and healthy “ he loves to learn and at 9 weeks can already sit, give paw and call . I would recommend using Donna as her puppies are well cared for

Absolutely Brilliant

We have just bought our Irish Doodle, from Donna and she was absolutely brilliant through the whole process. From the first time we spoke to Donna on the phone we felt very comfortable and happy that our puppy was in such good hands. She kept us updated as time went on and sent brilliant advice. When we picked up our puppy Donna was really friendly and gave us helpful answers to our questions and some great advice. We have already recommended Donna to friends who want a puppy as she was so good through the whole process and you know she really cares about the puppies she breeds.

Thank you Donna.

Would recommend Donna to anyone

Would recommend Donna to anyone . We were recommended Donna via a friend that got her cavapoo from her few years ago.
First call, she clarified all queries . She then contact me with availability. Sent me pictures as promised and was very thorough with her communication as she initially advised.

Our puppy came with all certificates, vaccine and we are very happy.
We were unable to see the puppy’s and parents during lockdown as expected.
We met parents when picked up our puppy.

It is hard to know who to buy from at the moment with so many scams but I would say that you can trust Donna. She is a reputable breeder and very caring. She also answered our calls after we got our little one, we just had some basic questions as beginners and she was very helpful.

Thank you Donna !!

We bought our AMAZING Yogi (douge de Bordeaux) off Donna approx 2yrs ago & he is just amazing.
At the time of purchase we were vetted by Donna to make sure we were going to be suitable loving parents for 1 of her precious Bbys which we thought was great as showed us it all about her Bbys.
Donnas place is absolutely immaculate and every pup was a shining testament to her.
Cannot recommended Donna enough, she is simply THE Best x

5 stars for DonnaJay

I cannot recommend Donna enough! We collected our maltipoo puppy yesterday. The service from day 1 was excellent. I can’t quite believe how good he was last night. He got into his crate bed by himself at 9.30pm and fell asleep. He did not make any noise at all during the night. I was worried so I kept checking on him and he was asleep every time. He got out of the crate to wee and poo on his puppy pads in the night and he was relaxing in his bed at 6.30am when we woke up. He ate his breakfast at 7am and is relaxing on my daughters lap now. Best behaved puppy ever! X

Amazing breeder, Stress and hassle free,

I really can not believe how stress free and easy it’s been from choosing our puppy over FaceTime to picking him up !
we’ve not had 1 worry at all, everything has been such high standards and compared to the last few times searching for a pup and nearly being scammed this was the last shot even if it did take us 9 years to try again, we found donna and our pup which was certainly worth the wait ❤️
We got 2 weekly updates of photos and videos, we saw mum and dad over face time too and got a Secure receipt for our deposit,
What more can you ask for, amazing !
We brought him home today, it was lovely to see how well there cared for, I just want to say thank you so much our little lito he is so calm but then his parents were amazing, you deserve a medal donna for how well you treat all your dogs they are very lucky to have you xx

Stunning healthy dogs ❤️

Bought my lovely boy Hugo from Donna Jay. Travelled all the way from Scotland to pick him up. The kennels were immaculate and Donna herself was lovely and easy to talk to. This is a lady who clearly loves her dogs and knows what she is talking about. Would not hesitate to buy another pup from her in the future. As for Hugo he is coming up to 7 years and still runs around like a puppy. Donna only breeds from the best.

Amazing

It's a minefield when buying a puppy , due to the scams surrounding this industry at the moment.
After speaking to Donna it couldn't have been more clear the love and care she puts into each puppy from start to finish.
She was always there at the end of the phone for any questions I had , her commitment to her puppies and myself as a customer was evident that she has a heart of gold and is dedicated to her dogs.
Not corners cut or expense spared for the care of her dogs , the regular 'pupdates' and the communication was second to non.
Both parents were there on collection of our puppy also.
Can't thank you enough Donna.

Met this lovely lady who gave us our wonderful wee puppy 🐶 cavapoo pip. Pip has grown into a lovely and placid doggy 5 years in. The home was lovely and clean and you can tell that Donna is a professional dog breeder. If I ever need another dog I will drive from Scotland to go to Donna. Pip is a spoilt pooch and is from quality breeding. He is simply the best.
