WOW, that is a great site!! VERY informative!! Being that I rescue, therefore
spay/neuter everything that comes through my home, I don't know, really,
anything about breeding. I have done a little research, but tend to spend more
time learning about the ailments of my hospice poodles, as it is more pertinent
to me.
I do like being able to talk people out of breeding pet quality dogs just
because they are nice dogs, or because the people want another dog like their
dog. I sound a lot smarter and am a lot more influencial, when I talk about hip
dysplasia and genetic problems rather than talking about the pet overpopulation
problem. Everyone seems to think that all of the puppies THEY breed will all go
to great, loving homes the duration of their lives. The brutal truth is that
only one puppy per litter, on average in the U.S., find "forever" homes. Good
breeders know that they are responsible for the pets they add to the world and
take responsibility for every single one of them for their entire life.
My mom bought me a purebred siamese cat when I was 10 (no clue why we needed
a purebred cat) but the breeder called us every year for 15 years 'til that cat
passed away. At the time I thought she was a little strange, but looking back
on it, that is the mark of an awesome breeder. She also had a spay/ neuter
clause in the contract! Another thing that every breeder should have for pet
quality dogs.
Sorry, I don't post here a lot for the fear that I will go on and on like I
just did. I will shut up now. LOL!

They are prone to all the problems that poodles and labs are prone to. You
should have printed copies of certification to show your prospective puppy
homes. Go to www.vipoodle.org to find out what you should test for on the
poodle side.

Please make sure to have her hips certified. It looks like that is the
biggest health problem with doodles and can be prevented by responsible
breeding. It is a genetic defect that is VERY painful and VERY expensive to
have fixed. While you are screening for genetic problems, you might do some
research and find out what other genetic problems the doodles are prone to. You
also want to SEE the paperwork from the dog you are breeding to, to make sure
that he has been tested as well.
I know there is at least one person on this list who's doodle is young and
has hip dysplasia. It is extremely heartbreaking to see young dogs who should
be playing and happy, not be able to play for fear of the pain.

I agree with the other comments. I have 2 F1B Chocolate studs. One is Marley,
he is on the ALAA logo. Semen can be shipped, she has to have been tested
though. Contact me privately for more info.

Hi, I am new to this group and would like to find info and a stud for
breeding my labradoodle Tess. We have had her for 3 years and she is
the BEST dog! We'd like to share the joy of owning a labradoodle with
others and keep a puppy for ourselves. We live in the FL panhandle.
Anyone have any ideas?
