It's easy to tell our story and give you a personal perspective on what we do and how we do it, but the best stories are told by those who've experienced BRIARWOOD for themselves. Read below and decide for yourself if BRIARWOOD is the breeder for you!

"BRADY "-Merle Mini Bernedoodle

"5 years ago, we purchased a tri-color merle "mini" Bernedoodle from you ... We ADORE him! His name is Brady, and he's the best!!! Starting to think we might want another, perhaps coming into the summer?" - Sharon M. December 20th 2020

"OZZY" -Micro Sheepadoodle

"Hope you, your family, and pups are doing well! Just wanted to share with you a happy 3 month old Ozzy! He's been such a joy."- Mani C. 05/17/21

"BARKLEY"- Mini Bernedoodle

"We adopted 'Turquoise Collar', now named Barkley, from you in January. He's from Morocco and Cambodia's 10/19/18 litter, and given that he just turned 1 I figured it would be nice to send you an update. Barkley is doing very well! He's turned out to be a really sweet dog. He ended up on the smaller side, just under 25lbs, but is very good mannered and is especially good around our friends kids. We take him hiking/outdoors a lot and are really enjoying being dog owners. Barkley also goes to daycare a few times a week and it turns out that Wally (Lizzy B's dog from the litter before, who has the same parents as Barkley) also goes to the same daycare, so the two of them get to play together quite a bit and were instant buddies!
Thanks again for giving us such a great dog!!"- Nate S. 10/22/19

"ARROW"- F1b Micro Sheepadoodle

Arrow is a pup from Morrocco and Malaysia. He's 14lbs at 18 months old. His family had this to say: "Emmanuel, We can never forget you! We both are doing very well. We are on Martha’s Vineyard for the Summer. Arrow has met horses and swans, been in the lagoon, eaten at a dog friendly restaurant and even spent the night on a yacht with his girlfriend, a cute little poodle/shitzu. He even did well in school! Check out the email from his instructor and the attached photos."- Antoinette F.

"CHARLIE"- Standard Sheepadoodle

Charlie is a pup from an early 2021 Sheepadoodle litter. The family wrote back to share this experience: "He has such a funny personality and loves anyone who gives him attention. Everyone is impressed by his temperament with people and other dogs, big and small. Whether we’re gone for 2 minutes or 4 hours, his greeting is incredible and so full of love. He is simply perfect" ❤️🐾 - Allison and Glenn B. 09/30/22

"OLIVER"- Mini Bernedoodle

"I wanted to get in touch with you to thank you for Cabo (Oliver) so many times, but got so caught up in life that the email stayed as a draft. Last year has brought so many challenges to everybody, however Oliver has been the silver lining for us. He's our go-to cuddler/pal when things get tough, especially for the kids. My daughter and I still laugh about the day we came to choose the pup but got so mesmerized by Cabo, that I forgot most of the questions I had prepared to ask. 😂 He's still our little ,well not so little explorer, counter surfer and a great cuddle."- Vaani Y.V.- 2/4/21

"WAFFLES" -F1b Micro Bernedoodle

"Just wanted to check in and let you know how Waffles (formally Mila) is doing :) She is now almost 6 months old and weighs approximately 15 pounds. She has had all of her shots to date and been in good health.

She is very well behaved and was very easy to potty train. She has been attending once a week “dog school” to work on other commands (sit, stay, lay down, walking on a leash, etc.). She does great in her crate during the night and during the day when we leave. She knows it’s her safe space and doesn’t whine or bark to get out.

I am probably her favorite person in her new home, but she is really good with our son and gets excited to see him when he comes home each day.

Almost a month after we got Waffles, our senior dog passed away. It was a very sad time and we are so thankful we had Waffles to comfort us. We like to think our senior dog waited for her to join our family before she could leave. When the time comes for us to add a second dog to our family again you will be our first pick!"- Lindsey S. 7/7/21

"LOLA" -Micro Sheepadoodle

"I hope you're doing well! I have attached some pictures of Lola (originally Trindidad) to show you how she's growing up :) She is about 11 lbs, loves playing fetch and has such a great temperament. I am so lucky!" - Maddie B.- 04/16/21

"RANGER" -Mini Bernedoodle

"Just letting you guys know Ranger (Simba) is enjoying his first birthday today. He’s been a fantastic dog. Thanks so much again for raising great puppies!"- Jon and Taylor J. - July 1 2020

"KAYA"- Standard Sheepadoodle

"I hope all is well! I wanted to attach the receipt for Kaya's (Halia's) spaying as proof it was done! I also wanted to thank you because she is the perfect addition to our family and we love her so much!!!"- Claire N. 04/9/21

"CARLI"- Mini Bernedoodle

"Carli is doing GREAT! She is about 35 lbs now, full of energy (though she naps quite often throughout the day when we are home working) - and we learned this winter that she LOVES the snow!" - Phyllis C. 2/16/21

"DONTE"- Standard Sheepadoodle

Hello! It has been a year since we have had our puppy Donte (formerly Prince Charming). We are so thrilled that we chose to go with a standard sheepadoodle.

He LOVES water and is always playing in the hose or the pool. He naps often but loves to run around in our fenced in backyard. He was so easily trained.Feel free to share our thanks and pictures on your website. He has beensuch a great addition to our family and we had nothing but a great experience with you.

"KHITA"- Standard Bernedoodle

"Emmanuel and Tribe!- We want to thank you for the IMMENSE joy Khita brings us all. Our boys all live together in Chicago and one of them has suffered serious mental health issues. Khita was the butter on his bread and Khita is currently on “holiday” in Chicago being an extra blessing to all the boys in quarantine. She really is a God sent treasure and we could not be more grateful!!!!- Mary C. 02/23/21

"BEAU"- Standard Bernedoodle

"Emmanuel,-"We adopted Beau (Greece orange collar) from you this past March. He is from Panda and King’s Jan 2020 litter. He is almost 9 mths old and I wanted to let you know he is the best puppy. We have had so much fun with him. He is so laid back, super smart and he definitely has a goofy side to him also. My husband and I would love to add another standard Bernedoodle to our family in the next year. Thank you so much!" - Nicole H. 9/11/20

Mini Bernedoodle

"ABBY"- Mini Sheepadoodle

Hi Emmanuel,
"Wanted you to know that Abby is now a certified therapy dog. We will be visiting hospitals in Savannah. ❤️Abby is a very sweet & happy pup. She loves golf cart rides, going to the dog park, and working on her obedience skills. We just love her to pieces ❤️ Thank you!!!!"- Shirley N. Georgia

"ROCKY"- Mini Bernedoodle

Emmanuel: I hope you and your family remain healthy and happy and busy (in a good way!). I wanted to send you a few pictures of Yemen (aka Rocky) who has been a wonderful addition to our family. Rocky is smart and loving, but teething right now, so I’m getting chewed on as I type 😊. He learned potty training pretty quickly, as well as sleeping through the night. We also get stopped wherever we go, with folks asking us what kind of puppy he is since they just can’t place him but love his coloring (and they all comment on his eyes!). They also ask where we got him, so we’ve passed your name on to a few folks.
Thank you again, and know that we are so grateful for having him join us as part of our family.- Hillary J. 9/3/20

"AMORI"- Standard Sheepadoodle

"And now abide faith hope and love... and the greatest of these is love." -Corinthians 13:13. We are so grateful that Make- A-Wish Foundation in partnership with BRIARWOOD of Virginia has granted Leila the greatest of these three. Words cannot express our gratitude for all who put such time, effort, dedication, and love into bringing our family so much joy and light.- Williams Family 2021

Height is 12 inches to top of his back. Louie is absolutely the best: Loyal, affectionate, playful, fun, outgoing, and smart. He loves people and loves to play with other dogs. His best friend is our Maine coon cat. They play daily, sometimes sleep together and get along remarkably well.- Kevin H. 7/22/21

"COURAGE"- Micro Bernedoodle

"From our first inquiry about the Bernadoodle breed, Emmanuel with Briarwood Puppies was informative and compassionate about the micro and mini size pups. When we made our commitment he graciously walked us through the entire process never minding our questions. We met our puppy 3 weeks ago and picked him up on Sunday. We are ecstatic to have “Courage” as part of our family. Thoroughness and an abundance of patience are an understatement and we highly recommend anyone looking for a Bernedoodle or Sheepadoodle. "- Stacey S. 8/9/22

"ENZO"- Mini Labradoodle

"Hi Emmanuel, I hope you and your family are doing well!
Alex and I wanted to write to you to say thank you and give you an update on our puppy, Enzo (Arlo) from your most recent mini labradoodle litter. He is seriously AMAZING. Such a sweet and loving dog who has responded so well to our training. He will be 19 weeks old tomorrow and weighs around 16 pounds and is still the cutest puppy we've ever seen. He has been absolutely the best blessing and addition to our family and we couldn't be more thrilled to have him. He plays so well with other dogs and responds positively to new people, which has been such a relief. We can't wait to continue to watch him grow and we just wanted to express our gratitude for having such amazing dogs!" - Brooke A. 06/24/21
