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! 

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!" 

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! 

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.

 I would love to tell you about our wonderful little guy, well maybe not so little guy these days, Armin. From the moment we decided to pick out our new puppy, I knew Great Oaks was a good match for our family. I called several other breeders but didn't get the same warm response. They answered my questions and gave advice about any concerns I might have. When we decided to put our deposit down, they let us know when the puppies estimated take home date would be and that we could choose our puppy as soon as they were ready, around 6 weeks. We of course made it a family affair, kids in tow, to pick Armin out. The best part is the family met us and we could see the mom and dad as well as the area the dogs lived. It is a little farm of happiness compared to most breeders. The plus was also that the kids had been around the dogs and puppies, this helped our little guy feel right at home, as we have two boys, ages 5 and 8. Armin is smart, sweet, and very handsome. We can't take him anywhere without someone mentioning his coloring or beautiful coat. Overall the experience was wonderful and we would choose Great Oaks Kennel again. Top Notch.  

 Working with Great Oaks Kennel was a great decision!  We wanted a German Shepherd puppy that was healthy and from a great family where she would be raised by loving breeders and tons of children.  As a result, our Athena does so well with kids and she's easily trainable, loving, and the sweetest puppy we could ask for.  Great Oaks Kennel answered any question we had and worked with us when we couldn't come to get her right away. I would highly recommend getting your new pet from this breeder.  When we get our next German Shepherd, we will definitely be coming back to them! 

I recently received my puppy from Justin and the Murray Family.  I am out of state, from South Carolina and had a great experience with no problems. The puppy arrived in a brand new crate with water, food and all the paperwork.  I received pictures and updates all along the way and got to pick the puppy I wanted.  For any out-of-state buyers, Great Oaks is the kennel to purchase a puppy from.  I would do it again in a second and may well do it as my puppy grows up.  Keep up the great work Great Oaks and the Murray Family. 

Jill and Justin have been amazing throughout this whole process of us getting a new German Shepherd puppy. It has been many, many years since we have had a new puppy and we were a little overwhelmed in starting the process. They have walked us through this with ease and made the whole process easy and exciting. Justin and Jill stayed in constant contact with us and gave updates very often. They really know what they are doing. They have answered phone calls from us and emails. They have really put us at ease on choosing a puppy and going through the process. The constant updates, photos and videos have us beyond exciting to pick up our boy! We would definitely recommend Great Oaks Kennel to anyone that is looking for a new puppy! You can tell they take very great care of their dogs/puppies! 

We appreciate Great Oaks for the time and correspondence during the selection process.  We could not be happier with our GSD, Bella. While energetic, she is a fast learner with a great temperament. The care and professionalism we received is greatly appreciated! 

Great experience with a great family.  The puppy's get a lot of love and are well taken care of.  Very pleased with the process.  If you are looking for a best friend, I would recommend Great Oaks Kennel! 

 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! 

 I highly recommend Great Oaks Kennel.  Our Charlie (Labradoodle) was flown to California.  From the minute I called to inquire about him till the day he arrived I was kept informed, pictures sent and I never had a concern.  Everything went as promised.  He is beautiful, smart, funny and very loving.  He has quite a personality.  I know people are concerned about buying dogs on the internet, but I can't say enough how smooth everything went. I would recommend everyone check out their website and don't be at all concerned about buying a puppy from Great Oaks Kennel. 

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!

 My husband and I cannot begin to describe the impact our puppy Phog has had on our lives in the three weeks since we picked him up. Simply put, he is perfect!  We had a long drive home after picking Phog up but he connected with us—and us with him—right away.  He is such a joyful little pup who loves to run and play and nap at our feet.  We are so thankful that we were able to find Great Oaks Kennel.  When we finally decided to get a dog, I spent hours reading the “About Us” section on every breeder's webpage.  It was very important to us to make sure we found breeders who valued what we valued and would take care of our puppy until we could get him.  Something about the Murray’s felt right.  Jill and Justin were so great in patiently answering every question we had.  We love that Phog was born into a family with children and has played with them from the start.  We would choose Great Oaks again in a heartbeat. 

Our family had a wonderful experience working with Great Oaks Kennel.  Once we contacted them and found out they had just what we were hoping for, we were thrilled!  They kept in contact, sent us pictures, posted videos, all of which made us excited and prepared for our puppy.  Jill made sure that we had a valuable experience allowing our family to spend time meeting the perfect match.  Watching our kids pick out and bond with our puppy is something we'll never forget.  We are so happy with our female Labradoodle, Penny and we feel like she is the perfect addition to our family.  We feel thankful for the professional experience and the delicate care the family at Great Oaks Kennel provided for Penny in the first 8 weeks of her life.
