Testimonials

We just adore Ebbett. So much more than we ever could have imagined. The girls thank us daily for getting him. He’s a true joy – happy, cuddly, playful and energetic. His favorite activities are playing with his friend Lucy (who also came from trails end) and camping. – Shawn, 10/19

Our Stella is THE most wonderful dog.  She is smart, very sweet, beautiful and steals the heart of everyone who meets her.  Even our friends who are not necessarily dog people, LOVE her!  Your dogs just ROCK!! – The Ralkowskis

Risley continues to grow and learn and be an amazing dog. He is a great ambassador, and I can’t tell you how often we get to tell people about your amazing program! – Laurel, Executive Director – ASDA

We are head over heels in love with our pup Waldo. At one year of age we plan to begin Therapy Dog training so that my wife and I can bring him to our schools to work with our students. Waldo has an extremely kind and sensitive temperament. Alex and I are ecstatic to have Waldo in our family. Thank you for the wonderful work and care that you and Tawny provide at Trails End. It’s clear that he was reared with love, skill and compassion during those first 8 weeks. Amazingly, he actually fell asleep as we watched fireworks (albeit we were at a good distance away but we were nevertheless very impressed and content).  Waldo receives countless compliments from fellow dog owners, friends, families, and strangers. We constantly refer people to Trails End. Thank you again. – Andrew 7/18

We are delighted with our little messy mop of a dog, Rosie, AKA Boo.  She is a sweetheart and is the star of Wonder Pup class. We have heard horror stories about other breeders of labradoodles and are very glad we dealt with you–the whole process was smooth, and we got a great dog. – The Legant Family

I was the lucky puppy raiser to be with Mateo during his first few weeks as an ASDA service dog in training.  What a wonderful pup!  He has such an easy going demeanor and good natured personality, as well as a sincere desire to please.  I feel he will make an excellent service dog. Your early training and careful breeding certainly showed in his calm nature.  He remained unruffled no matter what new circumstance or noise he encountered. Many people that Mateo met were quickly enamored with him.  I mentioned your kennel name to all that seemed interested. Again, thanks for all the time and effort that you put into raising such an amazing pup! – Autism Service Dogs of America

“We just wanted to let you know how very much we love our little Sophie. She is the most wonderful pet and we thank you for giving her such a great start in life! – The Slind Family

I can’t recommend TEL’s breeding program enough. My Burton has become the unofficial office therapy dog and every. single. person. who meets him comments about how GREAT of a dog he is. He’s only 1 and already gets so much praise for being the best boy ever. People can’t believe he’s still a puppy. He’s soooo well behaved and eager to please. He’s the first dog I’ve owned who does what you ask him to because he WANTS you to be proud of him. It’s amazing. He picks up on things so quickly and now without treats. Seriously, I will never get a dog from another breeder. Rich and [Tawny] make an amazing team and have built a fantastic breeding program. And yes I know I’ve said all that before but I literally can not count the number of people who comment about how great Burton is. I would love to take all the credit, but I know the biggest factor is TEL’s commitment to breeding for a great temperament. – Deb 3/19

Biscuit is so adorable!  Biscuit helps my kids so much. My son (with Down syndrome) is having less tantrums now and Biscuit will console both kids if they are crying. It is so beautiful to watch their interaction. She gets in to school bus everyday to drop off my son and she waits eagerly for the kids to come back home. She also follows me everywhere. She is so mellow, gentle and at the same time playful. Her passion towards balls is amazing! She can fetch balls all day 🙂 We are so blessed to have biscuit in our lives and we can’t thank you enough for creating the best dogs ever. – Praseeda 6/18

We absolutely adore our (almost) 1yr old Trails End Labradoodle! He is so mellow and brings so much joy to our family’s life, especially our 6yr old daughter. We can’t recommend Trails End highly enough! – The Harris Family 9/18

She is doing great camping, canoeing, farmer markets, swimming she likes a lot & she goes everywhere with us even at Home depot, or any store that lets a dog in. We went to Bend that is the most dog friendly town she got lots of attention there…. I could just go on and on about our sweet Bella. What a great experience it was coming to your house knowing they came from a loving family….We love our Bella!! – The Renslow Family

“Just had to say hello and let you how much joy, love and comfort that Josie has brought Pete and me. She is 9 years old today (Brooklyn and Fonzi’s litter)! You all gave her a great start, we trained her (well, she trained us, heehee) and gave her lots of exercise. When I have to go downtown, Pete takes her to work with him. His customers just love her. She just loves being a part of everything and she definitely is a part of the pack! We have friends who are not dog lovers, but she has made her mark and tell us even though they don’t like dogs, they love Josie. Pete continues to quote me saying She’s the dog I always wanted. She is just beautiful and such a wonderful companion! – Carol 3/19

Millie is doing very well and we are thoroughly enjoying her as part of our family. We have been in training once a week with for a month now and she is responding very well to sit, stay, lay and loose leash walking. All of these within her puppy capabilities of course. She is very smart and has lots of puppy energy. She loves her kennel and it didn’t take long for her to start sleeping through the night. She thoroughly enjoys everybody she comes in contact with and wont stop wagging her tail. We love her very much!! – The Pessemier Family

Capt. Hook, aka Jasper, is a wonderful puppy ”friendly, sociable, lovable and smart. And so cute, people think he should be a model for a stuffed toy, especially after he received his first puppy trim to get the hair out of his eyes! My daughter and her fiance were here over the weekend and just fell in love with him, as have a host of friends we’ve had over in the past few days. One neighbor, a cat person, commented last night that she was so impressed by how well behaved he was, friendly, but not demanding, and willing to entertain himself (so many toys, so little time!). I really congratulate and thank you for providing us with a puppy that was already used to people and other dogs, and who, while being not a bit shy, is mellow and good with people and dogs of all ages. – Cathi and John McClain

Bommer is such a beautiful wonderful dog and everyone that meets him falls in love.  He has done so much advertising for you guys because people want to know where we got him.  He personality is very different from Benji.  He is such a joy and we are so blessed to have him in our lives!  Thank you for what you do! – Suzanne 6/19

She (Pheobe) is doing AWESOME.  What a great dog.  We are both beyond thrilled with her.  Michael told me last month that he cannot believe how much joy she has brought him followed by, “I’m so happy”… Calm yet, playful as requested. Wow.  She loves everyone and everything including dogs.  She is kind and very gentle.  – Carol 12/19

I just wanted to reach out and say thank you guys again. Thank you for making this such a nice experience and for being so understanding and patient… I thought you should know, we have entirely and completely fallen in love with Sunny and think he was an excellent choice. You guys raise amazing dogs speaking from a unique perspective of now having known two of your pups. Please know that Sunny is doing amazing, like he was the missing link to our family this whole time. I can’t express enough what he means to us already. So again, thank you guys very much. – Rachel 10/19
