I cannot say enough great things about Emerald Oak Acres and Doodles! We got our puppy, Junie, from Julie and Adam in December. We were looking for a puppy who will be trained as a service dog for our daughter, and Julie was so helpful, patient, and kind as we tried to decide if one of her pups would work for us. There was zero pressure, just support. I wouldn’t have wanted to work with anyone else. Our trainers have also praised Julie as being a great person to work with in the future while making this huge decision. Along with the great service Julie has given, our puppy herself has turned out to be the best little pup we could have asked for. Their work with the pups right at the beginning of their development shows 100 percent in Junie’s temperament, ability to be trained, great health, ease of potty training, and all around great dog. Julie continues to support us in our journey and I will absolutely go back to Emerald Oak Acres and Doodles for our next puppy in the future!

Emerald Oaks is amazing. We have been able to expand therapy dogs to our Special Education classrooms in two of our buildings because of the generosity of Julie. The doodles are just perfect! I would give more stars if possible!

Seriously the best experience ever!! Julie was absolutely wonderful from providing updates on Thomas to sending pictures, and answering all our questions along the way. We truly are so lucky and Julie made this process so seamless! ❤️

I started following Emerald Oaks about 2 years ago, picking my favorite puppy out of every liter just awaiting when my husband would finally say “yes” to a puppy. Over that time I felt connected to Julie because of all the love and attention she gave all her beautiful dogs. You could tell she cared about everyone of them and wanted the best for them. The time came when my husband said yes and we brought home our Millie girl last weekend. Talking to Julie through the process and was always sending me updates and pictures, meeting her I knew I made the right decision to chose their puppy. Millie is such a sweetie and it’s relevant how much work they did with her before I even got her and she is SO smart. Thank you Emerald Oaks for our beautiful new baby. 100/10 rating!

Getting our “Angel” was the best experience. I could have never expected the amount of love and support we received from Julie and Adam when we got her. I would tell anyone looking to get a new pup to check out their website and this page for updates. Some of the most friendly people you’ll ever meet, you can tell truly care about their pups. If you are looking to purchase or rescue a puppy Emerald Oak Acres and Doodles with Julie and Adam are the real deal❤️🐶❤️ Our home is full of love and life with our Angel❤️

My wife and I have gotten two mine bernedoodles from Julie and Emerald Oak acres over the past three years. I can’t recommend them enough. Our dogs are sweet, intelligent, and the icing on the cake is that they do not shed either. I need to buy more property so I can get more puppies lol

If anyone is looking for a new dog, I highly recommend Emerald Oak Acres and Doodles! Julie is truly amazing and has been so helpful throughout our journey so far! She’s great with communication, very knowledgeable, and makes the whole process so much easier! She goes above and beyond to make sure both you and your puppy are happy and healthy and gives you everything you need to get you started in the right direction! Couldn’t have picked a better breeder to get our first pup from!

We brought home our adorable Bernedoodle this past weekend from Emerald Oak Acres and Doodles. From the first communication with Julie, we had a wonderful experience. Julie and Adam take exceptional care of their dogs and keep in regular contact from the time you pick your puppy out until you take your new family member home. We received updates and photos throughout the entire process. It was like we were there to watch our puppy grow! The puppies are well socialized, impeccably taken care of (including professional vet care), and have been started on basic crate and house training before coming home. We highly recommend Emerald Oak to anyone looking to add a Bernedoodle to their family!
Julie and Adam, thank you for this truly wonderful adoption experience.

“We recently brought home our new fur baby Billie and couldn’t be more happy! She is the picture of sweet and cute. Thank you so much for all that you did to get her ready to come home. Julie was very communicative with fast responses, frequent updates, and attempts to accommodate us— especially since we live so far away. We could not have asked for a breeder who cares more about the puppies than Emerald Oak Acres and Doodles. I have raved about her to lord of friends and family so far and could not recommend adopting a puppy from them more.”

What a great first two days with Zeke! Thank you so much Emerald Oak Acres and Doodles for providing such an amazing experience and even more important a very healthy and happy puppy. Zeke has had zero accidents in his first two days, and is getting along great with not only our two older boys but also our 16 month old toddler. Can’t say enough about the care and time that you guys put in to all of your puppies! Here’s to many more accident free days! Cheers!!

We adopted our Mini Australian mountain doodle from Emerald Oak Acres and Doodles. Julie was so accommodating with visits before our go home day and with any questions we had. They go above and beyond with the care and love they give their puppies. On the day we picked up Dash he was well socialized, had his first puppy shots, and had been fecal tested. I would highly recommend Emerald Oak Acres and Doodles if you are searching for your new fur baby! Thank you so much, we just love our baby Dash so much!!

I honestly cannot thank Julie enough for everything she did for our family. After we lost our oldest dog last October our family had a huge hole in it. I started following her page after two of my neighbors purchased from another litter. Words cannot even begin to express how amazing her process of making our family whole again was. She went above and beyond. Julie was very communicative throughout the entire process and I am thankful for her patience in my indecisiveness in picking our puppy. Basil is absolutely perfect. For a puppy, he has such a mellow demeanor. At almost 9 weeks he is already mastering basic commands such as his name, come, sit, and down. He is SO SMART! Anyone who purchases a puppy from her will 100% have an excellent experience!

We were able to meet Luna and her siblings before she joined us at home. They are all adorable puppies! She is such a smart dog and has been quick to potty train because of the time and patience with Julie and Adam. I would absolutely recommend picking up your furry family member from them! We are in love with our little Luna 🖤 Thanks to Emerald Oak Acres in Howell
-Simone -
Our experience with Emerald Oak Acres could not have been better. We were able to meet Tucker in advance of taking him home. This was invaluable to our preparing for bringing him into our family. In terms of the dog himself, Tucker was well adjusted to children and well trained in advance of our bring home date. Since he has been with us he has learned at an accelerated pace and has been nothing but loving and playful with everyone in our family. Obviously all puppies need love and training but the head start that he got at Emerald Oak Acres had everything to do with his quick adaptation to being a loved and a behaved member of our family. We could not be happier with our experience and thank Emerald Oak Acres for their excellent care of and imprint on our loving Tucker.

We would definitely recommend Emerald Oak Acres and Doodles! They put so much time and love into getting these puppies ready for their new homes! I love that they allowed us to come visit whenever we wanted! They go above and beyond with everything they do!
-Megan -
We were able to meet our future puppy when she was 4 weeks old. Julie gave photo updates on Facebook sometimes daily. We were really impressed and love our little Pepper so much! if you are looking to add a puppy to your family look to Emerald Oak Acres!
-Trish -
We’ve done our research and found the absolute best family dog for us and couldn’t be more thrilled with the experience we’ve had with Emerald Oak Acres 💚 from our first meet and greet with our puppy, to weekly photo updates and flexibility with pickup timing to get our puppy as soon as he was ready, we will recommend this Breeder to anyone that asks! *Such wonderful organization with paperwork/information and a sweet take-home bag too!
Best, The Luce Family

We recently adopted our Mini Australian Mountain Doodle from Emerald Oak Acres and Doodles.
We brought our precious Liberty “Libby” home Friday and have fell completely in love with her! She hasn’t had any accidents and Sunday night slept through night from 11-6:30! She’s loving on my 3 crazy hyper kids under 8 years old and also gets along great my 2 year old rescue boy. Libby has the best disposition, she’s calm and playful! All of this was a result of Julie and Adams love, care, hard work and attention they put into preparing these puppies for their new homes. They begin crate training and potty training, full vet check ups and microchipped. They invited us over to meet our puppy and sent several updates to me. Julie was very quick to respond to my hundreds of text messages with questions and did whatever she could to help prepare us to bring our puppy home. I could go on and on about how amazing Emerald Oak Acres and Doodles is and I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to add a puppy to their family.

Emerald Oaks came highly recommended by a friend. We are so happy with our perfect new puppy and would absolutely recommend them to anyone. Excellent communication, well taken care of puppies and wonderful resources to help care for your new family member. Thank you, Emerald Oak Acres and Doodles! We love our new baby 🥰

We have adopted our two babies from them! Beautiful, smart and healthy pups! Excellent communication with breeder.
We couldn’t be happier!

We couldn’t be more pleased with our Australian Mountain Doodle from Emerald Oak Acres and Doodles! The extra special time and effort that they put into their puppies was apparent in how well our girl transitioned into our home. She is happy, healthy and so well adjusted!
Thank you, Emerald Oak Acres, for the great communication and experience from the very start to wonderful finish!

I highly recommend getting a puppy from them! I got a purebred standard poodle and she is extremely loyal. Best dog I've ever had! Grooming is a breeze with her from the start since I groom her myself. I will be back for future puppies!

I highly recommend Emerald Oak Acres and Doodles. I got a golden doodle from them in 2022… they are absolutely wonderful people. My Barry was having anxiety and I wanted to get another puppy from them, I reached out to Julie and they had someone that needed to rehome one of Barry’s brothers, so I ended up getting him … Beau! He has been a wonderful addition to my family. I just recently was going to become a guardian for another puppy but they found another lady. I can not stress enough how awesome they are, the dogs are all spoiled and loved. All their animals are very well taken care of and loved. If anyone is looking for their next puppy I recommend them 1000 times over!

I highly recommend Emerald Oak Acres and Doodles. We got our sweet handsome boy back in November and we could not have been happier with the process. We couldn’t pick Ronin up right away so they kept him for us an extra week until he could get him. He was already microchipped and mostly potty trained and only had a couple accidents in the house the first couple months. He is sweet, friendly, good with dogs and cats. I have known Julie for a long time, even had her dog sit my old dog years ago. I know how passionate and caring she is for not only dogs but animals in general so I knew a puppy from Emerald Oaks and Doodles would be well cared for and ready for adventures with its new family. I encourage anyone looking for a puppy to seek out Emerald Oak Acres and Doodles.

Julie has been a dream to work with from the very beginning ❤️ great communication and updates prior to getting our puppy, as well as beautiful, well adjusted, outgoing puppies to take home.
-Brandi -
Such a great experience from the very moment we started considering getting our little girl which was actually a year before we were ready. Julie was always quick to respond to all my questions and is very knowledgeable. Once we picked our Hazel we received updates with pictures and videos until the day we picked her up and even after that Julie checked in on us to see how we were all settling in. She truly cares for these pups and their well being.
-Tracy -
We had such a wonderful experience! The puppies are so adorable, healthy and happy. We received so much needed information! Julie was so easy to work with. I highly recommend Emerald Oak Acres and Doodles.

Julie was wonderful to work with from the start. when we decided to add Echo (Hercules) to our family she kept us up to date on pictures and how he was doing. You can tell that he was well loved and taken care of ❤️ If you're hesitating don't! It's hard to find amazing breeders that actually care about their puppies. She even asked how everything was after we brought him home. She is absolutely amazing and we plan on getting our next furbaby from her ❤️ Thank you so much Julie ❤️
-Alisa -
We love our Stormie. She is a golden mountain doodle and has the best temperament.
-Lindsay -
I cannot thank Julie and Adam enough. From the beginning with my silly questions, they were there to help, with fantastic suggestions. I am in love with my little princess Harley, a Bernese Mountain Dog. I look forward to getting another puppy in the near future. Thank you both.
-Kim -
Description goes hereI seriously couldn’t be happier with my experience. Julie was so eager to provide any information I had questions on, send update photos and videos and overall just cares so much about the health and wellbeing of her dogs. If you’re looking for a new furry best friend I HIGHLY recommend! 🐶💙
-Dakota -

While I do not have one of Emerald Oak’s puppies, I do have a puppy rehomed to me by Julie in December 2023 and she’s a great dog, who came to me 95% potty trained and fully crate trained. Julie and her husband are very responsive, informative and friendly. If I’m ever in the market for a doodle puppy, I will definitely call Julie in the future. 😊

Julie and Adam are amazing! Julie is so easy to communicate and work with. I recently just got my second doodle from them and I cannot recommend recommend!
Any questions I know I can reach out and don't feel silly for asking. the response time is so quick as well. I love sending Julie updates too. Don't hesitate to ask any questions as she will be more than happy to help.
I love Emerald Oak! Thank you for helping expand my fur family. 10/10 recommend!

Beautiful healthy puppies! Our addition to our family has settled in perfectly.
-Amber -
I highly recommend getting a puppy from Emerald Oak Acres. Julie is great to work with! I brought my little Oakley home last spring and he has been a great dog. Such a sweet boy. Julie had already started potty training and basic commands when I brought him home at 8 weeks. Great experience!
-Katie -
They were so easy to work with, from update pictures and video, potty training and sensory work, to also being flexible with our delayed pick up date, to driving to meet us at a closer location (we drove 8hrs one way). We will definitely look for another from them at some point.
-Joshua -
Julie is awesome to work with. Great communication and updates of the pups. We love our River boy.
River was so smart from the get go. We did two days of mat training and he got it. Now when I’m fixing his food he goes there automatically. He is taking the Canine Good Citizen test today and were hoping he is on his way to be a therapy dog.
He also fit in so easily with our rescue girl, Delta. He is one of the easiest puppies I ever had to train❤️
-Cheryl -
We added Mabel to our home August of 2023. Julie was great with communication and consistently sent photos and videos. Mabel has an amazing temperament, she was trained all basic commands in sign language and is registered as a support animal! If you are looking for a great family pet, you have found the perfect breeders!

We recently got our adorable puppy from Emerald Oak Acres and Doodles! They were soo amazing at communication, answering my messages super fast (with helpful information) before and after we got our pup! Our puppy has been a healthy, sweet, smart joy!
-Katy -
We took home our Emerald Oak Acres golden doodle 2 mos ago and she's just the best puppy! She's so smart, sweet and snuggly. She was mostly potty trained when we got her and she's learning new tricks everyday! We love her so much and couldn't be more pleased with Emerald Oaks!

Julie was so kind and patient as she helped us find our furever friend! She answered every question I had and provided us with all of the necessary information to succeed with our pup! This puppy is the sweetest most gentle, loving pup! We are so in love and can’t thank her enough! She will be loved and cherished furever!!

Highly recommend!!! We got our little girl in December 2023 for our family. She fits in perfectly. The communication with Emerald Oaks is 5☆
-Amy -
We got our sweet boy Finn (known as Lucas) on Thursday! He has been calm and has been doing great with potty training and crate training. We have a cat and he has also been so great with her too! Our kids absolutely adore him. You can tell they put a lot of love and care into all of their animals! Any questions that I had they were always answered. If we ever want to add to our fur family in the future, we will definitely be coming back to Emerald Oak Acres and Doodles. Thank you for being so great!
-Michelle -
I got my gorgeous dood, Grover from her back in January of this year and I couldn’t be more pleased. He’s very intelligent, affectionate and so eager to please. Julie has always been responsive to my hundreds of questions. He came to me almost fully crate and potty trained at only eight weeks old. I wouldn’t trade him for the world 💖
-Brittany -
Got my sweet mini bernedoodle girl in December! We can’t picture our home without her! Julie was helpful throughout the process of bringing her home and getting settle and even 4 months later is still helpful as ever! I’d recommend Julie to anyone looking to bring a puppy home! It has been one of the best decisions we’ve made!
-Liliana -
Highly recommend Emerald Oaks to anyone looking for a puppy. Julie was so helpful during the entire process. We signed Finn up for puppy kindergarten, and having him come to use potty trained and crate trained was a huge plus. She is available anytime after you receive your puppy, even helping me find vaccine records I misplaced and giving advice if needed. Their puppies have amazing temperament and beautiful.
-Carri -
They have the most adorable puppies!
When I inquired their response was quick and they answered all my questions.
I’ll definitely be contacting them for a puppy when I’m ready.
-Laura -
We got our precious girl Mac from Emerald Oak! Easy & quick communication as well as honest & transparent about the process. We are so thankful we heard about them. We had never adopted an adult dog, so were a little hesitant she might not work in our family but they set our mind at ease. Our girl is so loved, we can’t imagine life without her & it’s only been 3 weeks since she came home!
-Stacey -

Emerald oak acres was amazing to work with! We couldn't happier with our new puppy she was well socialized, comfortable with stairs, crate and leash making the transition home so smooth!
-Theresa -
We absolutely adore our little Nala girl. We got her when she was already 5 months old after being returned to the breeders. We already had 2 full size doodles at home but once I saw her sweet little face looking for a home, we drove from the upper peninsula to snatch her up immediately. It was the best idea. She has completed our family and is my 5 year olds best friend. She is the best mischievous girl
