When deciding I wanted to buy and own my first dog, I immediately knew I wanted to find the perfect breeder, one I trusted, and one I felt confident in, when purchasing a new member of the family. Great Oaks Kennel immediately stood out to me and how well they were organized, and their love and care for their dogs. As soon as I contacted them, the Murray’s were more than informational about the process and what to expect and look forward to if I were to chose them as the breeder I would be getting my new four legged friend from. This was one of the best decisions I have ever made! Getting to see pictures from the time to their born, every week up until they come home was my favorite part. At five weeks old, we got to go meet and pick out our future four legged friend! This was a great way to get to know Wrigley before he even came home yet.. Great Oak’s is more than transparent with you about any information you need to know or would like to know about your future pet! I would do it all over again the same. For anyone looking for a high quality, trustworthy, breeder, and a fun process of bringing a new dog into your home, Great Oaks is for you! 

We purchased from Great Oaks, an absolutely sweet, beautiful, loving, gentle female Golden Retriever.  From the start of our contact with Jill and Justin Murray to picking up our puppy, the Murray's and their children couldn't have been more committed to working with us to answer all of our many questions, immediately contacting us and keeping us informed (including sending puppy photographs) all along the way.The Kennel, which we were invited to visit prior to purchasing, and then picking up our puppy, is a clean, safe, wide-open environment for the puppies.  Aside from the caliber of the breeder, we look to select how much the breeder cares for their dogs and the puppies that are born.  The Murray's whole family are loving and caring people.... that is so special and we can't be grateful enough for their personal and professional efforts and care.

From the very beginning, we knew Great Oaks was the perfect choice for us. The communication with Jill and Justin amazing. They answered all the questions we had right away! The puppies start their lives with such a loving family and a perfect setting to be raised in. It was so hard for us to pick our sweet boy since they were all so sweet but we didn't feel rushed and we able to take our time! We would refer all of our friends and family to Great Oaks Kennel! And we have since my parents are getting a puppy of their own now! Thank you so much to Jill, Justin and their family! 

We had a wonderful experience with Great Oaks from start to finish.  They were excellent communicators throughout the process.  From the time the litter was born, we received pictures and videos of the puppies at least once a week. These alone revealed the time, attention, and care Jill and Justin put into their pups. They were also extremely flexible. We traveled to their home three times and Jill was accommodating with every visit. They never rushed us and spent time introducing us to all their dogs. Friendly and professional-we highly recommend Great Oaks! 

 We must share our wonderful experience throughout the process.  Our family traveled from Austin, Texas to pick up our Rizzo, and every moment was well worth it.  Justin and Jill were excellent from day one.  Our communication was great, especially considering the distance between.  We were very particular during our search.  Upon finding Great Oaks, they definitely exceeded all expectations.  Justin and Jill have acted with extreme professionalism with a genuine and personable touch.  We have all intentions to recommend everyone to Great Oaks.  Thank you guys for introducing us to Rizzo.  We already love her! 

 Eric and I would like to thank you both for all of the care you provided to Molly for the last 8 weeks. You guys were so wonderful at sending pictures, videos, and texts of Molly.  It was so heartwarming seeing her grow and play each week.  Also, for answering all the many questions I had, as this was our first time getting a puppy and we had so many questions.  You guys were so patient and always made us feel so comforted.  She is the sweetest little puppy who absolutely adores the outside.  We go play outdoors for hours and I think it reminds her of your guys' beautiful place.  Thanks again! 

Thank you to the entire Murray Family at Great Oaks Kennel for our wonderful puppy! We are in Chicago and our Labradoodle pup was flown to us via United Airlines Pet Safe Program! Thank you to the Murray's for their guidance through this process! When he arrived it was obvious they had taken loving care of him. As we waited for his arrival we received lots of pictures and videos of his happy days at the Murray's with their kids and his puppy siblings!!  Our little "Monty" has a wonderful demeanor, is strong and healthy, and as you can see, is growing by leaps and bounds!! Thank you! Thank you!

Ehvey has been a wonderful addition to our home and we're thrilled with the newest member of our family.  Working with you and Justin was such a pleasant experience and it was so reassuring to know Ehvey came from a place where she was so loved and well cared for.  I would imagine she'll be needing a sister sooner rather than later, and I can't imagine getting a dog from anywhere other than Great Oaks Kennel.  I know it's trendy to "adopt, not shop," but we consider our pets to be true members of our family, and just as we provided excellent prenatal care to our children, my wife and I are most comfortable knowing our dogs' lineage and that she spent her first weeks of life being thoroughly loved by both her mother and "people."  God has truly blessed your family and we're so grateful you chose to pass this blessing along with others through breeding.  We'll certainly keep in touch and thank you so much for being such thoughtful and supportive individuals. 

This has been a wonderful experience.  Jill, Justin, and their entire family have been great to meet and work with.  They clearly love their puppies and treat them like family.  We would strongly recommend a puppy from Great Oaks-we know we will love our Goldendoodle.
