again, this thread has already been done. you've posted the same thing before. it's like your trying to get a rise out of all the chaz members or something. why don't you look at your previous thread with the same topic and see what was said there. don't start another uproarious debate cause you think it's funny.

Wow, that was quite harsh, don't you thing?! I'm not familiar with the OP but this is the first thread I've seen her start in regards to labradoodles, not saying others weren't start but I don't remember her starting one.

 

[LabBreeder]

it's not harsh at all. what's going to be harsh is when others see this thread and the dreaded "doodle debate" starts all over. it gets annoying after awhile, repeating the same thing over and over just to satisfy someone's insatiable urge to stir things up. i'll find the threads and post them so the OP can refer to them for answers.

 

[Saje]

Yes it is harsh. Especially since this the the only post of hers with the word labradoodle in it. I'm not sure how she started a debate on labradoodles without using that word so if I'm wrong feel free to point me in the right direction.

 

[princess_poppy]

no i havent started a doddle debate before, and im not staring a debate i was just saying that do you think this looks like a good breeders? i dont want to start an argument, sorry if you took it the wrong way.

 

[LabBreeder]

Actually, I looked up all the threads I could find and I haven't found any that were started by the OP of this thread, but she did respond to the other "doodle" threads. Regarding my statement of "posting other doodle threads" I apologize. You can, however, see that there have been lots of doodle threads started or resurected recently.

Here are the doodle threads I found, I'm sure there are more, I just can't find them right now. Have fun perusing the threads. I'm sure you'll get the general idea of what is thought of regarding doodles.

 

[Saje]

Try and keep in mind she was asking about a breeder not what people thought about doodles.

dr2little would be a great person to answer your questions. I know I've learnt a lot when it comes to labradoodle because of her and other members from this site. I was once quite dead set against them but I’ve learnt there are good breeders if you search for them.

 

[princess_poppy]

thats ok, i dont mind, lol, it's just the breeders sounded quite good here, and not that far away

 

[LabBreeder]

I'm still trying to figure out how they can get a puppy with a BVA rating of 4 or 1 when Labs and Poodles average 16 and 15? Don't most breeders also let you come visit, regardless of having an appointment? Unless I missed something, they don't do OFA and CERF certs either. I didn't see anything about health guarantees on the puppies either.

 

[Renee750il]

Definitely PM dr2little. She did quite an exhaustive search and extensive breeder research before finding her Sophie.

I like the fact that they state that no breed is hypoallergenic (most BYB's brag about them being, and I like poeple who are honest) , but thats about it.

Ok all doodle-specific debate aside...

I like their way of thinking, and the way they really want to have dogs with no genetic problems. But their site isn't enough to have an opinion - how many litters do they have a year? Anything over 3 means that they can't socialize the puppies properly. How much do they charge? The main problem of labradoodle breeders is that they charge just way too much for them, for really no reason other than to make money out of it.

It's really what you should look for in ANY breeder - health testing, good socialization (ie, not too many litters a year), and a reasonable price.

Looks like just another puppymill with a pretty website to me. No such thing as an ethical mutt breeder. If you want a Lab/Poodle mix, please refer to Petfinder.com - there are plenty of them on there, including ones from "Labradoodle breeding programs."

Thank you. That's been covered in the links listed on the first page and I really don't want to see this turn into another debate thread.

 

[lakotasong]

Hey - She asked, I answered. I don't think the breeder is ethical. I saw things that most mutt breeders put out there to try and trick people into thinking their mixes are healthier and have "hybrid vigor" and therefore will have no health problems. They also don't prove their dogs - they breed them to sell them and make a buck. Not ethical.

 

[princess_poppy]

thats what i found they dont list any of there pups or prices, ive spent the whole afternoon reaserching, no luck yet.

Like I said, thanks for the info just keep in mind that we don't need a whole new debate stirred up. It's all been said before.

This is just another typical response. Did you actually read the site that the OP presented?
I want to say that I understand the responses that again, a simple question with the word "Labradoodle" in it has generated....but I'm just fed up at this point.
Remember, there's a person on the other end of the post. I can understand this kind of response if someone was being rude or somehow promoting BYB....but come on PEOPLE she asked a reasonable question!!
I have PM'd the OP just to try to help her out without starting another ridiculous debate!
