The Aguirres-San Antonio, TX
To say we have had a great experience with Great Oaks Kennel is an understatement. We knew we wanted a Golden Retriever in our lives and when we found Great Oaks Kennel it seemed to be a good choice. Their website was beyond informative and from the moment I contacted Justin & Jill they were extremely helpful. The response time was incredible and the communication was constant whether it was through e-mail, phone or text. They have been accommodating and very informative throughout the process. While it is obvious that communication was constant and timely, their dedication to these puppies and love for animals was even more evident as time went on. We are receiving our puppy, Samson, from a home that is surrounded by caring and loving individuals--Justin, Jill, and their children. The wait is finally over and we are beyond thrilled to welcome Samson into our home. We cannot thank Great Oaks Kennel enough for their quality service and recommend them to anyone looking to welcome a puppy into their family.
The Bowies-Vinita, OK
I decided to get another puppy after I lost my Golden in September. I had looked at several places and always came back to Great Oaks Kennel. I called and was greeted by Jill who told me all about the puppies she had available. I made my decision that day and sent my deposit. From that point Jill always kept me informed about my puppy Sadie and always sending pictures. I would highly recommend Great Oaks Kennel to anyone looking to buy a new puppy.
Thank you!
The Woodards-Dallas, TX
We had wonderful experience picking out our golden retriever puppy from Great Oaks Kennels. The Murray's were always incredibly prompt with communication and kept us informed throughout the whole process. Receiving weekly pictures from Jill was such a highlight! It was very evident that the puppies were loved on by the Murray family from the day they were born until the day they go home. Thank you for giving us the sweetest addition to our family Great Oaks Kennel!"
The Crulls- Edmond, OK
The Murray’s are the most incredible family! Every puppy is loved dearly and they receive so much hands on attention.
We are so happy that we found Great Oaks. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and were so pleased with how many updates and pictures we received along the way. We have wanted a Golden Retriever for 5 years and I am so glad that we found the perfect one. I would highly recommend anyone searching for a puppy to choose Great Oaks Kennel!
The Kinzers-Vinita, Ok
We adopted our German Shepherd, Bear, in February of this year. He is now 6 months old and 63 pounds - and growing! He is such a joy to our family! He is so smart and gentle with all of us, including my three young kids and many neighborhood kids. He is also super funny! He’s been easy to train and really is just a super easy, dream puppy! He’s our big baby! We love him so much!
Justin and Jill were awesome to work with! They gave us a healthy, happy, incredible new family member. We were quite pleased and happy with the level of professionalism, knowledge, and friendliness we received. They kept us updated with news and pictures of our puppy prior to taking him home! They answered any questions we ever had promptly and politely! We really appreciate them and are so thankful to have found them and our sweet, Bear! He’s the perfect addition to our family! We would absolutely recommend Great Oaks Kennel and would absolutely come back in the future!
Hammermeister-Beaumont, TX
Our experience with Great Oaks has been absolutely wonderful. Jill and Justin went out of their way to keep us a part of the process from day one. We received pictures of our little girl right after she was born, and have been getting weekly (sometimes even more often) picture and video updates ever since. We live a little over 8 hours away, so we didn't get to meet our pup until pick up day, but because of the extra effort put forth by Jill and Justin, we didn't feel left out.
Beyond keeping us included in this process, they've done an outstanding job caring for our little girl while she developed. We did a ton of research and had a lot of criteria that we were looking for when selecting a breeder. From our first phone call, they were very open and honest about their entire process; even saying that maybe their dogs weren't for us when we mentioned that genetic testing certificates were something we required. The fact that they were willing to lose business to make sure their puppies were exactly what we were looking for was what set them above all of the other breeders we were considering. That kind of commitment to their values and quality has made them wonderful caregivers for our little girl as she grew. Their dedication to the puppies spending at least 8 weeks with mom before going home, and the weening schedule they have in place proves that they have the puppies' health and happiness at the forefront of their business. They've truly set our little girl up to have a happy and healthy life, and we could not have made a better choice of who to put our faith in for this process. We can't recommend them enough
The Ospinas-Little Rock, AR
We have been a Golden Retriever loving family for almost 15 years and the challenge is finding a quality breeder who you can trust. The Murrays have been awesome to work with. They are quick to respond to questions and are knowledgeable of the breed. They have made the decision and purchasing process very easy and their 3 year health guarantee goes beyond what a lot of other breeders provide. As we get ready to pick up our puppy we know we are in good hands.
The Finches-Altus, Ok
Great Oaks Kennel absolutely rocks! It's a small family run business in rural Oklahoma that clearly puts the animals first. They are a wonderful family and they take their time to help you find just the right puppy for your family. I highly recommend them!
The Walls-Siloam Springs, AR
Great Oaks was amazing and very helpful to work with. They provided update pictures, videos, and information leading up to pickup day. I would definitely recommend Great Oaks Kennel as they made this process for our family amazing!
The Kimmells-Oklahoma
We cannot even begin to express how thankful we are for the Murrays at Great Oaks Kennel. This is our first puppy so of course we had tons of questions! Justin & Jill were quick to answer any question & they were so helpful with everything. They are really wonderful people. Their farm is an absolute dream for all those puppies & when I first saw our little guy I immediately knew they love & care for all their puppies like their own. We got pretty lucky with our little (for now) puppy. We are forever grateful for Justin & Jill. Clifford has truly completed our little family!
The Millers-Jenks, Ok
I have had a dream of having a Golden puppy my entire life. As the years have gone by I finally decided the timing was perfect to get a puppy. I am now retired and ready to fill my days with puppy love. After a couple of experiences on being scammed and no puppy a friend recommended Greak Oaks Kennel to me. She had purchased a puppy a couple of years ago and told me the great experience they had. I did some research and contacted them. I was told there was a wait list but they took my number. I would be patient. I was ecstatic when Justin called to say a female puppy had come available. He walked me through the deposit process which was so easy.
Over the weeks they have kept in touch, sending me pictures and video of my baby girl. I will be picking her up this week.
As I begin my new life with my life long dream I just want to say thank you to Justin and Jill for making my dream come true. I would highly recommend them for anyone wanting a puppy. They are quick to answer any questions you have. You can tell how much they care for their dogs and are careful to place them. Thank you so much Justin and Jill!
The Sharps-kingston, Ok
I have never reserved or put money down for a pet. When my family and I wanted to add a new furry little friend to our family I had no clue where to look. First thing I did was google golden retriever puppies. When I pulled up their page and started reading all the testimonies that other families had said about great oaks kennel it made me feel comfortable. I ended up emailing the owners asking a few questions and they were very quick to respond. I was able to call or text the owners anytime and again they responded back quickly. I never felt like I was left wondering what was going on and was always updated on our new puppy! From speaking with the owners I could tell they enjoyed what they do and I never felt pushed in to anything. The dogs always appeared clean and happy in their pictures and videos that I was sent. I also liked that the dogs come with extra immunizations to take home and a health guarantee and more. I am so far very pleased with great oaks kennel and will for sure be spreading the word.
The Shifflettes - Southlake, TX
The decision to add a dog to your family, and then finding the right dog, can be a very stressful experience. We chose to go with a beautiful Bernedoodle. This breed is not easy to find and even harder to obtain a puppy without being on a long waiting list. I reached out to a few breeders, and found the Murrays to be the most informative and helpful during this exciting process. I felt extremely comfortable after talking with Justin and placed a deposit immediately. Jill has been instrumental in coordinating visits for puppy pick day and pick up day. She has been excellent with updates and information throughout the entire process, including videos and pictures of the puppies. We are so excited to be adding "Bob" to our family and couldn't ask for a better breeder. I highly recommend Great Oaks Kennel without any reservations. Extremely professional/family experience. Thank you!!
The Russells- Grove, OK
From the first point of contact with Jill and Justin Murray at Great Oaks Kennel, we felt confident that we were working with trustworthy people. Jill and Justin went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable purchasing our new puppy. It's obvious they take great care of their dogs and puppies, keeping them healthy and safe before our purchase. They were friendly and communicated with us throughout the process. We are so excited to have our new German Shepherd, and will always use Great Oaks Kennel in the future.
The Dryers- Ozark, MO
Being that this was my first golden retriever, I spent a tremendous amount of time and research looking for a reputable golden breeder and am grateful that I found Great Oaks Kennel! From start to finish, Jill and Justin were quick to answer any questions I had. I received weekly pictures of the puppies once they were born and any information pertaining to the specific litter or puppy was provided as soon as it came available.
Once I started the process with Jill and Justin from the first phone call, I knew I had picked the right breeder. I felt comfortable knowing that I was purchasing a puppy from a breeder that not only raises their goldens to the highest (and happiest) standards, but also is trustworthy and open in the entire process. I feel so good about everything, in fact, that I feel there isn't any place better to get a pup!
Thank you again for helping me find my first golden, Tripp!
The Frenchs-Yukon, Ok
From the first phone call to these last stage preparations you and Justin have been so kind and responsive to all of the silly questions and needs unique to me. I recently lost a beloved golden at only 6 years old and have been grieving her loss. Receiving the updates and pictures has made this a joyful anticipation to bring our new girl home. I appreciate your open Christian values and delight in supporting a fellow believer with a family business serving God’s purpose. With no hesitation I recommend Great Oaks Kennel. I have the highest confidence our family has a healthy, well-adjusted new furry member! I look forward to referring any family and friends seeking a new puppy to this incredible family.
The Ballards-Dallas, Tx
“After researching breeders and asking a lot of questions along the way, when we found Great Oaks Kennel we knew our search was over. Justin was more than helpful to answer all our questions; his knowledge and guidance for bringing a puppy home was just what we needed! It was comforting to hear about Justin and Jill’s family and how well they care for their dogs. We have appreciated all the take home tips too, as well as, sending pictures and videos while we waited to meet our new girl. We are already planning to come back and look forward to working with Justin and Jill again!”
The Rajendran - SHREWSBURY, MA
Being prospective first time paw parents, we were skeptical and on the fence about the decision. Chatting with many breeders trying to find our perfect puppy was an arduous process.
Our first call to Justin was all it took to make the decision that was suddenly obvious. After we made the puppy choice, Jill eased the painful waiting process by sending us regular pics and videos of our beautiful puppy Maze.
The Visit, Jill and Justin were great hosts when we visited them on puppy pick day and patiently answered all the questions the new paw parents had. Assured us, that it’s OK to feel anxious and We will be alright and we will survive.
Thank you Justin and Jill for making this happen for us. You guys made it simple and easy with your wealth of knowledge and flawless service. We are recommending them to our friends and family.
The chavezs-Austin, Tx
