The universe has acted:

[Discussing Labradoodles & Goldendoodles]

Ok, so I'm a believer that everything happens for a reason, and this is why...

1) A responsible doodle breeder does not sugar-coat the truth and sell false promises about doodles. 

CHECK

2) A responsible breeder only breeds dogs that have passed rigorous health testing.

She breeds 2 litters a year, she is more into the craft than for the money.  It shows.  

I'm ok with this not being a complete check.

3) A responsible breeder does not breed/sell many different breeds.-->CHECK
She breeds F1's and F1B's only

4) A responsible breeder offers a decent health warranty.--> CHECK

Two years with lifetime support 

5) What are the parents like?-->check
There are videos of her dogs interacting with cats, even a video of the mother nursing abandoned kittens .

6) What is the breeder's home like?--> CHECK
She has taken over 25 videos of her gaining sessions with her dogs, her place is clean.

7) How are puppies raised? --> CHECK
In her home, she also has a small section in her yard devoted to puppies, with pine wood , no stain, no chemicals all natural, with a built in house with a built in puppy playground.

(please see attached pic )

8) Is the breeder asking as many questions as you ask the breeder? ---> CHECK
we've had lengthy picture exchanges and conversations

9) What is the breeders return policy?--->CHECK
She will assist in the rehoming of the animal.

older so that when i start school in September the pup will be around 5-6 months and not be completely puppy crazed. --> he's 3 and will be around 6 months when I go back (are you serious???)

red colored (would be amazing, I have red hair but they are harder to find), it was meant to be

a sweet honest breeder that passes scrutiny screening and breeder checklist no settling...

I FOUND HIM!!! please meet the real Nimby:

[Rose Coward]

So happy for you.  He is adorable!

[Maryann,Roo and Tigger]

Nimby is darling - congratulations

[Mari Bezanson]

I feel sorry that the puppy must meet your physical attribute check list before anything else.  I think that with mixed breeds there is never really any guarantee what they will look like in the end.  You need to meet the puppy, get to know them and see if it is the right fit for you.  I thought the last puppy was perfect for you?  Very confused and hard to have sympathy for someone who dropped their last "Nimby" like a hot potato after you didn't like what you heard....

[Abigail *George & Juno*]

Just thought I would add, 5-6 months doesn't guarantee "not puppy crazed" George requires much more time and attention (exercise, brushing, playing) now at 5 months than she did at 2 or 3 months. I understand the appeal of an older puppy for reasons of housebreaking, but a puppy is a puppy and takes a LOT of time until they aren't a puppy anymore (2 years) and I hope that if this poor puppy doesn't meet all of your requirements (calm? cuddly?) that you don't decide you don't want him anymore. I can promise you no puppy is calm or cuddly ALL the time. I just hope you're buying a puppy for the right reasons, no matter which breeder you end up supporting.

He's adorable. Reminds me of my George as a puppy. She is still that dark red color, but many puppies fade to an apricot (another requirement he may not meet)
