Highfalutin Furry Babies Lake Mary, Florida

I have held off on sharing my story because I had heard if you leave negative reviews for this breeder, you are potentially opening yourself up to unwanted online behavior. However, someone recently reached out to my privately and asked …

I've read a lot of reviews about this breeder (mostly positive) and was initially concerned with some of the negative reviews (most of which claimed they were blindsided by the wait or cost of the puppy). It was made very clear to me that there are two different processes to adopt a dog: a standard and an expedited/premium option which does effect cost. The information on the website and what was conveyed to me on e-mail was very transparent about cost and wait time. So far the people at Highfalutin have been kind, patient, and seem to have a good knowledge of the breed and care a lot about their dogs.

Millie Rhubarb-was delivered From Highfalutin 8 months ago. The process went VERY smooth. Waiting for her to arrive was the hardest part. I’m gonna tell you right now, she is 100% the most beautiful creature to ever step off a plane. We are talking top model, Hollywood stunner! Every time I take her for a walk people literally gasp in wonder at her beauty and ask “ what kind of dog is she?” To say she is spectacular, would be an understatement. The breeding program they have is extraordinary and it absolutely shows in their puppies. We love her so much and wanted her to have a buddy and along came brother, Gordy Boi! Okay, so one dog being an extreme beauty is one thing, but two?? Well Gordy Boi is a luscious floof of love with one blue and one brown eye and is the most chill chunk of smooshiness you’d ever see. Most people can’t stand , including me the precious cuteness overload .. I swear you’ll need insulin to get through it. To sum it up..Highfalutin has their ducks in a row. They stay in contact with you too to make sure you have support or have questions. The pups are extremely perfect in every way possible… like it’s almost too good to be true, but it is TRUE. I trust the Highfalutin team 100%. You will get a fabulous healthy mound of downy deliciousness . It’s worth the wait to get perfection.

Never knew having a healthy, friendly puppy could be so much fun. Our 4 1/2 month old Teddy Bear is extremely nice and has responded well to his puppy socialization classes. People frequently comment, “He’s so chill!” He won first prize for “listening” at his puppy 1 graduation - very proud! He has his own preferences for playthings, liking empty gallon water bottles more than toys. So, we try to go along. When we were impatient about the long wait for just the right puppy, High Fallutin told us “It will be worth it.” And, it is!

Alicia, the founder/owner of HFFB, has done an excellent job creating the brand of Highfalutin and breeds only the best Bernedoodles. Before adopting for HFFB, I researched the breed a lot, and it was clear that Alicia and her team were the best Bernedoodle breeders in the business. With that being said, the waitlist is long, and this is a process, not a quick pick a dog and get a dog transaction. I waited close to a year before I got my Buzz, and may I tell you, he was far worth the wait. I feel like I got a unicorn of a dog. He is four months old now and is so intelligent, loving, goofy, sweet, and I could go on and on. He’s everything I wanted and MORE. Everyone comments about his calm dissipation and how easygoing he is; Buzz goes everywhere with me because of it. People want to know where he’s from and often jokes that they want to steal him from me because he’s so perfect. Any negative reviews you may read about Alicia and her team are narrow-minded and do not give you a fair picture of who they are. This team cares a lot and produces fantastic dogs. If you’re willing to wait for the perfect dog and be flexible in the process, they’re the right team for you. If you’re looking for a dog quickly, this may not be an enjoyable waiting process, as it does take time! But trust me, it is worth it. I thank God every day for my wonderful Buzz and can not thank Alicia and her team enough for the care and love they bring to this family business; it’s worth it. Buzz is a part of my family now, and I can not imagine life without him.

I do not have enough positive superlatives to describe my experience with Highfalutin Furry Babies. Alicia and Ashley were responsive, professional, understanding, and accessible. Our Ziggy was delivered promptly with no hitches. But the …

Before getting our bernedoodle , I did a lot of research on breeders. Highfalutin (HFFB) had more positive reviews than most. I liked the fact that they only bred bernedoodles and not every other kind of doodle known to mankind! You are going to a specialist that knows every aspect of the breed. I also liked the fact that posted on their website were photos of not only the puppies but also the parents. Their dogs are beautiful and have fabulous markings. Their website is chock full of information. They even have recommended products to buy with many if not all, having links to Amazon. I found this to be extremely helpful. When Brody was hand delivered to us by Alicia, she brought a blanket, toys, and more. Also, included was the most comprehensive information organized in a large looseleaf about EVERY aspect of the bernedoodle...Grooming tips, training tips, foods that are safe and foods that are toxic. You name it and it was all there! Now, about Our Brody... he is magnificent! He is a tri-color and his markings are incredibly beautiful. People stop me in the street all the time to say how handsome he is. Most important though is his temperament. He loves people, children adults and even groomers. He is also great with other dogs as well. He is calm yet can be extremely playful. I can't say anything else but thank you to HFFB for a fabulous dog who truly warms our hearts.

Where do I start? I absolutely LOVE Highfalutin. I’ve been following along since the early days of HFFB because I came across them on social media and fell in love with Bernedoodles because of them. Always knew when the time was right, I’d get my puppy from them not just because of the cuteness but because of their mission of donating puppies to become service dogs. Over the last year they have become EXTREMELY popular, which is totally well deserved, so the demand is high and they aren’t a puppy mill so the “supply” is low. So you must be patient! If you’re looking for a quick puppy, maybe pick a different breed. Bernedoodles are all the rage and specifically a HFFB. The wait is so worth it though. SO WORTH IT. I was told originally that the wait depends on Mother Nature, but they try the best to offer a puppy to you by 9 months (of course depending on what you’re searching for), but inevitably it can be any span of time and you need to be okay with that! The wait list is different here and honestly it’s for the best. It’s based on temperament and if the puppy fits our needs first THEN preference of colors & size. I said yes to a puppy I did not think was my top choice and DO NOT regret it. They won’t offer an over energetic pup to someone that needs a calm pup and try and sell you on its cuteness rather than it’s temperament if that makes sense? Also, they only let momma’s have so many litters before “retiring” them, so there’s a lot of time that goes into finding new sets of parents every turn. Highly respect that! They do it right here, so it takes time! Be patient! I was pretty open to any size, coloration, and wanted a puppy that had a pretty mild temperament but still wanted to play. At about 8 months we were offered a puppy and they truly do everything they can to get you the perfect pup for your family. I was not expecting to be offered my sweet Phoebe (Cheetah at the time), but when I saw her and read her bio, we were sold! We have had her for a month now and she has been such a blessing. Picking her up was such an easy process, the flight nanny they work with was fabulous. Alicia sent a sweet little care package filled with things needed for her arrival and some toys (some of her favorite toys actually). There’s little research needed for preparing for a puppy because the new puppy guide has it ALL and the Facebook page is so helpful. They were spot on in describing Phoebe’s temperament. She is a great puppy and well socialized and mannered. Very calm when needed, but will play her heart out if you’re ready to play. I owe it all to the breeder! Comparing her to other puppies I’ve met that come from other breeders, she is far more advanced in her training and socialization. It took her TWO nights to be used to the crate / new home and less than a week to know where to go potty. She’s great in the car, around other dogs, animals and people. There is literally NOTHING she is afraid of, rain, storms, cars, noises, vacuums, the vet, literally nothing. Not saying every puppy is this way, but you can tell that Alicia & her team put in work to desensitize and socialize. The vet is obsessed with her, she is well behaved, has no problems, completely checked out! I literally cried when they brought her back to me after the first trip because three vet techs came out raving about her asking where she came from. Such a proud fur mom moment! Seriously could not thank Alicia and her team enough. When we are ready for another pup we will definitely be back! Worth the wait!!

Our experience with Highfalutin was above and beyond. Alicia was very professional and it is very obvious how much she loves and cares for all of her puppies. We were very excited to receive our puppy, Harley. She is not only adorable but has the best temperament that I have ever seen on a puppy. We will definitely be putting our name down in a few years for another. Well worth the wait!

This is a fantastic, all service Vet. Medically they are top rate doctors and assistants. There is no "up selling" here, just true, honest advice and treatment. Boarding is available for both cats and dogs. Cannot recommend highly enough. Breeze is wonderful in all respects.

Our Micro Bernedoodle came into our lives in July 2020 and the entire experience was great! HFFB are extremely professional, providing you with all of the necessary tools and tips you will need to adjust to life with a new puppy. I personally flew to Orlando and the breeder met me right at the gate, just in time for me to re-board my flight home with puppy in hand. They answered any questions I had and made the entire process as seamless as possible. Would highly recommend their services, and the puppies are the absolute best. We could not be happier with our choice in HFFB!

I own a doggie daycare, grooming and retail store and have a lot of customers who have dogs from this breeder, which is how I fell in love with the breed. After months of researching I decided to put a deposit on a dog with HFFB due to the attention to detail, consistency with coloring/markings temperament and reputation online. Alicia called me and spoke to me for quite some time to gauge exactly what characteristics and traits I was looking for in a family pet. She did tell me up front that she could not control when my dog would arrive but she knew exactly what I was looking for and promised me I would receive exactly that, when the time was right. I'm not a super patient person so waiting was hard for me, however the wait was not crazy long. Everyone told me the wait with HFFB is worth it and now that I have my dog I can 100% attest to that. When I compare my puppy to those from other breeders, temperament, coat and personality are far superior in my boy, thanks to the thoughtful breeding from HFFB. Alicia was so knowledgeable especially regarding the coat that I was looking for. As a grooming shop owner, I see many doodles with all kinds of coats, Alicia's dogs have coats that are easier to maintain and look amazing. People stop me on the street daily, to ask about my dog and they compliment his temperament , calmness and intelligence all the time. As far as communication, Alicia has always been very responsive especially considering she also has a family of her own that requires her time and attention. I don't have one negative thing to say about this breeder and the dog we purchased is by far the best behaved dog I have ever had (I've had a lot)!
