Any doodles from Pennsylvania or Maryland?

[K Frey]

Hi everybody! As some of you know, my family and I have been looking into the idea of adopting a doodle puppy. I've been scouring the internet, calling veterinarians, and asking friends for references of breeders who would be within driving distance for us. We live in southern PA, so most breeders in PA would be doable, as well as many in MD, and possibly northern VA or WV. I have mild allergies to dogs, so I really need an F1B. Most breeders that I've found who are close to us either breed F1's, don't seem to be knowledgeable enough about health and temperament testing, or are raising their dogs and puppies outside. (We do live in the puppy mill capital of the US, after all!) I've found some breeders who look really good online, but are way too far for us to travel to. Moss Creek in Florida, Smeraglia in Alabama, Lakeshore Doodles in New York are on the top of my list. They would be able to ship the puppy to us, but I'm a bit leary of that idea.
Having said all of that, have any of you gotten your doodles somewhere close to southern PA? Or can anybody share your experiences with having your puppy shipped to you?

Thanks so much!
