There are many people breeding labradoodles and
goldendoodles,
since they have become so popular, however not all are excellent breeders. Some
are basically trying to "cash in" on the new trend. Some things to look for in a
reputable breeder are:
1. Are they using top quality breeding stock with
good temperaments and having the genetic testing done (for hip dysplasia, eyes,
cardiac, etc)? Do they make these test results available for you, if you request it?
2. Are they using a contract which offers a 2-3
year health guarantee against hip dysplasia and other genetic diseases?
(anything less has little value).
3. Are they keeping good records and making
available to you the pedigrees of both the bitch and the sire, if you request
them?
4. Will they give you references that you can
call or email to confirm their credibility as a breeder?
5. Are they open and honest in their
communication with you, and knowledgeable about the breed?
6. Do they offer lifetime support and
training tips?
