Cavapoo Kennels Reviews

We highly recommend Cavapoo Kennels! We got 2 puppies and did the premier program for extra training. You receive videos of their training sessions, written instructions, and a virtual session for after they’re home. They can already sit, lay down, come, and go to bed/crate, and we’re working on more. Lisa is very responsive and helpful during the whole process, and clearly cares very much about the pups. We’ve received lots of compliments from visitors about well behaved they are. We couldn’t be happier!

Like so many others have already expressed, I had an amazing experience working with Lisa! From day one, when I reached out to her about their programs and getting on the waitlist she was quick to respond and thoroughly answered all of my questions. I decided to get on the waitlist for the Premier program, which was a phenomenal experience! I liked that I was getting a puppy who was a little bit older and had a basic foundation with training. Yes, it’s expensive, but it’s worth every penny. Besides you are welcoming home a new member of your family that will be with you for the next 10 to 15 years, so why not start off on the right foot with a puppy who already has the basics down.

When you are a couple weeks out from welcoming home your new pup, Lisa sends out a generous amount of information on essential things to buy for your new puppy, food advice and a schedule to follow so your puppy can easily adapt to their new environment.

The week I was supposed to welcome home Lady (my pup) we had a tropical storm and I was unable to take the train to meet Dave and get my little lovebug. I was devastated, but Lisa went out of her way to make arrangements so Lady could still come home as planned.

I have had my pup for four weeks now and she has adapted wonderfully to New York City life! The loud noises do not bother her, she’s very sociable and loves meeting other dogs on the street. I am currently working with a trainer one on one and she is beyond impressed by the foundation that has been laid. Lady is extremely smart, laidback and loads of fun!

I cannot thank Lisa and Dave enough for the work they put into nurturing these puppies before they go home to their forever homes! If you are looking for a Cavapoo puppy I would look no further than Cavapoo Kennels and I highly recommend signing up for the Premier program. It’s literally the best decision I have ever made!

Short: The BEST. Worth the wait. And every penny.

Long: First-time puppy owners, plus my husband and I grew up with a totally different breed. Many hours of research and searching landed us here. We ended up with our dream puppy, Manny (dark blue collar from Lacey/Charlie June 2021 litter).

•Communication - Excellent. I had so many questions along the way and Lisa answered quickly, with honesty & patience. The frequent posts make a world of difference; seeing litters of puppies grow up in a clean home with constant love & attention.

•Training - So grateful for the crate training, potty training, and sit to say please instilled in the pups from the beginning. Manny transitioned seamlessly to sleeping in his crate at home and is happily in there 11 hours every night. He’s also sitting quietly at the back door to let us know it’s time to go out to potty.

• Wait - Yes, it’s long. If I was able to do it, anyone can haha. It actually worked out better having the wait because we had plenty of time to prepare.. supplies, puppy training podcast (Baxter & Bella), following Facebook group discussions, and this page. I felt much more confident and comfortable bringing home our little nugget.

Overall, we had an amazing experience!! Lisa and Dave treat every dog like their own and it shows.

WORTH THE WAIT. Understatement of the year.

Cannot thank Lisa enough for her dedication to raising the sweetest and most loving dogs in the world. I am a first time dog owner, and she made the entire process of bringing my puppy home from start to finish a breeze. (Evie/ Green collar girl from Lacey/Charlie’s June 2021 litter)

I researched many different breeders across the country and when I stumbled upon Cavapoos of WNY, I never looked back. Lisa’s communication, honesty, and warm demeanor set her apart from the rest. Despite how much she has on her plate, she manages to answer my questions quickly and thoroughly. The communication also did not stop once I brought Evie home. Lisa continues to be a resource to the families she works with, because she is an amazing person and truly cares.

Yes, the wait is long. However, I was completely put at ease knowing I was waiting for the right puppy at the right time raised by a loving & responsible breeder.

Evie is the sweetest, lovable, playful ball of floof my family and I adore. She brings us so much joy each and every day. Evie has a wonderful temperament, was crate trained and sleeps 8+ hrs every night without a peep, and practically potty trained from the day she came home. All thanks to the hard work and dedication Lisa (and Dave!) put into their pups. I get nonstop compliments from friends and strangers on the street alike.

I am forever grateful to Lisa and Dave who gave me the love of my life. They raise their puppies as their own and are just wonderful people. Can’t praise them enough. Highly recommend Cavapoos of WNY/ Cavapoo Kennels.

Lisa is absolutely fantastic. I put my name on the wait list in March of 2020 just as COVID was impacting the world. We kept in touch despite the lockdowns and border closures. It was hard not being able to jump at any of the litters. Fast forward to our Prime Minister opening the border to American travellers in August. One evening I received a message from Lisa’s husband telling me to put my name forward for any of the litters and if I was lucky enough to get a pup, he would deliver to me at the border. I was floored. The stars aligned and I was lucky enough to grab Merlot now Ranger He arrived at the border courtesy of Lisa’s daughter one week ago.

Lisa is responsive, has the patience of a saint answering all of my questions, navigating a border crossing during COVID-19 to see that I got a puppy. Lisa is an amazing breeder and raises well adjusted confident dogs. Most of all she’s just an amazing caring person and so is her family.

Thank you Lisa and Cavapoo Kennels!

We got our Charlie 2 days ago and we are already in love! He has brought such joy to us already! We have had such an overall amazing experience from the very beginning. The hardest part was waiting for Charlie but it is so worth the wait! I highly recommend Cavapoo Kennels! Lisa is fantastic to work with!

I highly recommend Cavapoos of WNY/ Cavapoo Kennels and Lisa’s premier program! Lisa puts her heart and soul into raising healthy, smart and loving puppies. We participated in the premier program and it was a seamless transition from her house to ours. From the first night we brought our girl home, she puts herself to bed in a crate and sleeps through the night! Our cuddle Cavapoo is loving, playful and independent. She will patiently wait for you to give her attention and enjoys time in her exercise pen as well- the perfect mix of being able to spend time by herself (no separation anxiety) and being with her ‘people’. I credit this training to the way Lisa raises her puppies. Our Cavapoo already knows basic commands thanks to the trainers that are also working with the premier puppies. It truly is invaluable to bring home a new puppy that is mostly potty trained, sleeps in a crate and has basic manners. Thanks for everything, Lisa!

I’m very impressed with the training that my dog received prior to bringing her home. She was totally crate trained and has never had an accident in the crate. She goes to bed without any fussing and sleeps from 9 pm to 7 am. I have had her for a month now. Lisa gives very good advice for successful transition to your home. She is always available to answer any questions. The pups are adorable, healthy and have a very good start.

We recently got a Cavapoo from Cavapoo Kennels, and I cannot say enough good things about Lisa, the process, and our new puppy. Throughout the entire process, Lisa has been informative and very responsive, addressing all of my many questions, providing a wealth of knowledge, and keeping me updated on the upcoming litters. When we picked up our puppy from Lisa’s house, it was clear that all of her dogs are loved and extremely well cared for. We had a 7 hour drive home from Lisa’s, and our new puppy, Lucy, slept the whole way home. Lucy has been the most amazing puppy - she’s very playful, sweet, smart (already learning how to sit after just 3 days!), healthy, and was sleeping almost entirely through the night in the first weekend we brought her home. Additionally, because Lisa has such a strong community on Facebook, we are not only able to set up play-dates with her nearby litter mates but we also have a lifelong set of resources if we ever have any questions or concerns as Lucy continues to grow.

If you're looking for a happy, healthy, well-adjusted dog, Cavapoo Kennels is the place to look. Lisa is a 5-star breeder whom I strongly recommend, and when we are ready for our next puppy, we will be getting back on her wait list. We love our Lucy so much - thank you, Lisa!

I had various questions as a first time pup searcher and Lisa was extremely helpful -when she didn’t have to be. She answered all my questions immediately, listened to my concerns about another breeder (which we believe may have been a scam!), gave me advice of what to look for in the future, and offered to place us on her wait list as well as contact to other reputable breeders. She is highly intelligent in her field, clearly cares for her pups and I definitely recommend Cavapoos of WNY. Thank you for your time.

Millie(Dewdrop) is a great puppy. She has no accidents, no barking or begging. Millie sleeps through the night in her crate with no complaining. She is very playful puppy who loves going for walks. We consider ourselves lucky to have Millie in our family and even more lucky to have found her Breeder Lisa who implemented this structured program that we stuck with. Highly recommend Lisa and her puppies. Such love, care and attention given to these precious puppies from the very beginning.

I would highly recommend Cavapoo Kennels to anyone looking for a Cavapoo puppy. I waited a full year so I could get the puppy I wanted and I wouldn't change a thing. Lisa was terrific throughout the process, including after my puppy came home. My puppy slept through the night from the start due to Lisa starting crate training before she got home. Likewise, potty training has been made easier by Lisa teaching them before they head home. I feel like a part of a community as a Cavapoo Kennels pup parent and I couldn't be happier!

Lisa is extremely personable, knowledgeable, and best of all caring to her dogs and puppies. She and her family take wonderful care of the pups in their home, provide medical care, and love from day one. She was hands-on with the puppy selection process and followed up with us to make sure the transition to home went well. She can help set expectations for things like temperament and coat texture even when the pups are still young. Our family adores our Cavapoo Scout. He has a loose wavy coat (does not shed) and is spirited, but sweet with our young children. We found that neutering helped a lot with calming his personality and making him more patient when playing with young kids. We highly recommend working with them.
