Any experience with Morningstar Farms in MA/VA?

[Discussing Labradoodles & Goldendoodles]

Thinking of getting our first doodle from them!

Hi Jeremy,

Welcome to DK.

Breeder recommendations, reviews and referrals are not permitted in the public forums. People can private message you with information; you will need to accept a "friend" request from them. 

If you have not already done so, please read the guidelines on What to Look For in a Breeder and take them very seriously. These are the minimum standards you should require. The most important issues are health and temperament of the breeding dogs.

I do not see any mention of genetic health testing of the parents on the website of the breeder you are considering. This is something that most reputable and responsible breeders are proud to post on their websites with the dogs' pictures and information. No dog who has not completed health testing should be bred, and you should not consider a puppy from untested parents.

Here is some other information that you may find helpful: http://www.doodlekisses.com/forum/topics/considering-a-doodle-crowd...

Keep in mind that all Goldendoodles are NOT "hypoallergenic". Many of them can and do affect people allergies.

This article from the Labradoodle Trust applies to Goldendoodles as well: http://doodlerescue.org/group/isadoodleforyou/forum/topics/the-alle...

Hi, Was wondering if you ended up getting a puppy from them? We are also looking at them. Please pm me any experience you may have had and willing to share.

Jeremy, Lesley asked you to message her because breeder recommendations or reviews are not permitted here in the open forum.

Hi Bernie, this discussion is a couple of years old and Jeremy is no longer a member here, so won't see your question.
