"Jill at Sugardoodles by Smith and her whole family are phenomenal! From the initial communication, Jill was extremely responsive, knowledgeable, and professional via email! She took time to explain the process and answer every question we had. Since getting our puppy home he's been everything we could have imagined and that is largely due to Jill and her family's efforts! He has adjusted so quickly to his new home and has done fantastic with potty training and crate training. We couldn't be happier!"

We could not be happier with our experience! Jill is fantastic and goes above and beyond. We have had our pup for about a month and she has messaged me many times asking how everything is going. The love she has for these pups is undeniable. And it doesn’t hurt that each pup is so dang cute!

"I cannot say enough wonderful things about Sugardoodles by Smith! It is evident that Jill and Nick put all of their hearts, souls, and love into their puppies. They made me feel as if I was right there alongside them throughout Nala's pregnancy, when the puppies were born, and until my pup, Barlow, came home.
I so appreciate how rigorous they were in ensuring that each puppy went to the right home and preparing them well for life in their forever homes! They did so many things to acclimate the puppies for many different situations such as grooming, handling, potty training, and crate training. I've never seen a more thoughtful breeder and I could not be more appreciative!
I also love the "family" Facebook group where I can see all of the adventures and day to day of Barlow's siblings. I feel like I know everyone and I'm so glad we have a way to stay in touch throughout these dogs' lives!
If you're looking for a doodle pup that has been cared for like a part of the family before they come to yours, Sugardoodles by Smith is the way to go. I'm so happy I stumbled across their program when I did!"

"We are so impressed with the level of expertise Jill Smith has shown in her breeding program. We absolutely adore our new pup and he came to use healthy, happy and very well adjusted. Highly recommend her and her "crew" who all contribute to the success of the program! She worked very hard with all the famlies to make sure we were prepared and worked even harder to raise the puppies in an environment that included exposing them to lots of love and attention, different stimulating situations and techniques for temperament testing that made sure we all got our perfect fit. She even went above and beyond for me, agreeding to meet me at the airport at 5am to avoid an incoming blizzard and make sure we got out safely!
Sugardoodles by Smith is dedicated to both pups and their people and I look forward to continuing our relationship long into the future."

"Simply Amazing!! Those are the words that come to mind, when we think about the experience we’ve had with Sugardoodles by Smith. Jill and family go over and beyond, with the care and training they give to each and every one of their puppies.
You know you’ve found the perfect breeder, when the first thing that your Family Veterinarian says, after examining your puppy, is how impressed she is on how well your breeder has handled your dog.
Jill does a ton of prep work to get her puppies ready to go to their forever homes. She truly cares for her puppies and it shows. The interview process was impressive. This tells you that they really care about “the good fit” and want to make sure their puppies are going to the perfect family!
We feel so blessed to have been given the opportunity to work with Sugardoodles by Smith, and will be sure to stay in touch when looking for another puppy."

"Sugardoodles by Smith are the absolute BEST!!!
We adopted our sweet pup Dallas Christmas Day 2020
He is perfect in every way and all of the credit goes straight to Jill and everyone helping with Sugardoodles by Smith.
They do an amazing job with all of the puppies from day one. Putting a lot of work and love into each and every one of them. Making sure they are completely ready and comfortable for adoption day. They really take the time to get to know the personality’s of each pup and help pair them with their perfect family. Making sure you are updated constantly on everything going on with the puppies before pick up day. ( lots of fun videos and pictures) We can’t believe how lucky we are to have found Sugardoodles by Smith and our perfect pup Dallas. We really can’t thank them enough!!"

"I am thrilled to say that we had the BEST experience with Sugardoodles by Smith from start to finish. They are breeders of integrity with compassion and kindness for both the dogs and their forever families. Their techniques for raising healthy, happy and well adjusted puppies is simply masterful. Jill and the entire Smith family are committed to provided amazing puppies with the right start to the world. Their training from 0 to 8 weeks prepares these pups to come home. They are not fearful puppies, they are loving and full of joy and are a wonderful addition to any household. I will say, without question, Ollie is the sweetest Doodle on the planet. We feel honored to have one of these dogs. And, look forward to one day giving Ollie a sibling."

We got our Cookie and she’s been nothing but the sweetest girl. She has the calmest temperament I’ve ever seen in a puppy. Everyone who meets her, falls in love instantly and asks for her breeder info (including our vet)! Jill sent me pictures daily of Cookie before she got to come home and responded to any messages/ questions very quickly! I couldn’t recommend Sugardoodles by Smith enough!

We adopted our dog, Logan, from Sugardoodles a year ago. From the day he came home, his calm & confident demeanor spoke volumes regarding how he was socialized and handled. He is unbothered by noises, loves humans, and has been so easy to train. Fireworks? Who cares. Nail trims? No big deal. Cats? Friends not foes. Kids? Fun! He was sleeping through the night the third day we brought him home and potty trained by the end of his first week with us. It’s clear that Sugardoodles by Smith put love and research into how they breed their doodles, and I’ll only be adopting from them moving forward. Logan has brought so much joy into our family. 8/5 stars!

I traveled from Minnesota to get my female Goldendoodle from them. She has the most beautiful face and was almost potty trained at 8 weeks when we took her home. If you get a chance, get your doodle here. These pups understand family and love because that’s where they were for the first 8 weeks!!!

Jill is amazing! I got a puppy from their candy litter in 2022 and my pup is such a bundle of joy! Jill was very helpful in providing tips for getting my pup from Iowa to California and it made for a smooth transition.
The prep work that Jill and her family do when they have the puppies really pays off! My pup is well socialized and she has been extremely easy to train! They take great care of them and ensure the pups get all the nutrients they need! Jill also built a Facebook community so we can see what all the other pups are up to!
I can’t recommend Sugardoodles by Smith enough!
