I can't remember if I saw this posting on this forum or another one.  It was about certain breeders, who I believe belonged to the Club but were unethical.  The poster was advising against these breeders. Does anhone have any idea whers I can find it or recall this post?

I'm not familiar with the "Club", and I'm pretty savvy on all things doodle and doodle breeder related. Can you explain what you mean by that?

I'm used to seeing clubs associated with other breeds. I guess I meant the ALCA and ALAA.

There aren't really "clubs" for doodles like there are for purebreds, where you have the Breed Clubs that organize and sponsor AKC events and do breed rescue. They are really breeder associations that supposedly require breeders to meet certain standards in their breeding practices. ALCA and ALAA are for ALD (Australian Labradoodle) breeders. There's also GANA for Goldendoodle Breeders. Although we've had many discussions here where these organizations have been mentioned, I don't recall one in which we discussed breeder members of any of these organizations who were not ethical. I'm sure they exist though. We have also discussed other "memberships" that breeders may advertise on their websites that are simply paid "endorsements" and no indication of good breeding practices.

I think the post you saw may have been on another website, since DK's guidelines would prohibit anyone from advising others about certain breeders by name in the open forums here.
