About Me:: Hi there,

I'm looking to get a doodle for my parents, and joined to gain some good info. from the experts (the owners)
After tons of research, I think a doodle is exactly what they need... now it's just a matter of finding the perfect match!

What Type of Doodle(s) do you have? What are their names? Tell us about your doodle(s) or any other pets you have!: none

Why did you choose a doodle rather than another breed or mix?: personality, smarts.

The LIGHT colored dog is the cockapoo =)

Cockapoos can be nice too. What made them choose that mix?
I am not very familiar with cockapoos as our site is focused on labradoodles and goldendoodles. But I know that TimShell Farms (who breeds goldendoodles) also breeds cockapoos. And possibly spingville labradoodles might have some. Good luck in your search. Be SURE to talk to them about making sure whatever breeder they choose does health testing on their parent dogs (ask to see PROOF) and that they offer a MINIMUM of a 2 year health guarantee.

Take a look at the Owners Recommended Breeders Group, there you will find recommendations for breeders who fully health test their dogs and raise the puppies in their home like family. I know you want to get your parents a healthy family companion and not just any ole yard dog. Doodles are companion animals and should never be raised like livestock in barns or kennels.

I look forward to seeing you around.

You might do a search in the forum page for past discussions on choosing a breeder...helpful advice there. Karen's suggestion of visiting those 3 groups is a good one! Though we have many excellent breeders as members, any breeder can advertise here so you will still have to do your own weeding out of good vs. bad.... Note that in all groups a max of 20 posts are listed...you will have to click on "view all" to see the rest. Good luck and watch our video tutorials to help you find your way around this site--there is a link on the front page in the scrolling announcements at the top! Have fun and ask me any questions if you need help.
