CA labradoodle breeder recommendations

[Paul Schumacher]

Hi everyone, 

Very excited to be adding a labradoodle to our family.  We live in southern CA and are searching high and low for good breeders.  Please post (if that is allowed) or message me any recommendations you might have-- would love first hand experience recommendations.  A few names that keep popping up are Beau Monde, Country Labradoodles, ASD, Shadow Mountain and Brasken.  Thanks so much-- trying to do our homework before moving forward!

Thanks, 

Paul

Hi Paul, welcome to DK.

Breeder reviews and/or recommendations are not permitted here in the open forums. People can message you if you accept a friend request from them.

However, personal recommendations need to be taken with a grain of salt when it comes to choosing a breeder. Everyone here loves their doodles and thinks he or she is the greatest, so they often think that means the breeder is the greatest, too. I have seen people recommend known puppy mills and dog brokers. 

Please read What to Look For in a Breeder if you haven't already, and use it as a checklist for any breeder you consider. This is the minimum that you should require, if someone can't match up, look elsewhere. Good luck in your search!
