Saw a comment you wrote on Lynda's page. Thought you might want to contact Jackie of JBADORABLE Doodles.

She has and may know of smaller doodles for you. Right now she has a gorgeous litter of tiny labradoodle puppies.

I have been to her home and played with her puppies on several occasions. All happy and safely raisned. No pens or cages or barns! UGH. No puppymill.

Check her out. Good Luck

It is beautiful here also this weekend and we have been out looking at art. It is the Santa Cruz open studios this weekend, and there was a photography show for Ed Weston in Monterey. It is in the high sixties and my husband is really looking forward to his bike ride tomorrow. There were two days of rain last week and the dust is packed down and the trails are perfect. Packed trails and temps in the sixties. Doesn't get much better than that.

Ember is the dog that someone posted about on the discussion you started on the forum. She's gorgeous, but not a mini.

I think if you work with the DRC or IDOG rescues you should be able to find the right one eventually. Good luck with the search!

I joined this site when it was fairly new and small and have learned along with its growth. I joined Facebook and can't get the hang of it at all - and don't much care! Do you only want a rescue doodle? There are two good places to go. IDOG and the DoodleRescueCollective

http://doodlerescuecollectiveinc.org/

On the home page are dogs listed through the DRC. The letters in front of the dog are the state it is in. I am one of the people who welcome you. You can apply to adopt a specific dog you see on petfinder or at the top of the DRC page fill out an adoption application for a doodle in general. At the top of the DRC page there is also a place to click that says doodles in need. This is another space that doodles are listed - these are not under the DRC foster program.

I will also tell you to google in animal shelters.

http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&hl=en&q=animal+shelters+manassis++virginia

When you get there click on what works for you. I suggest that you check all the shelters that are within how far you would drive to look at a dog - EVERY DAY. I would call about any dog that looked like a good match for you. Remember a doodle might be listed as a poodle, poodle mix, lab mix, terrier mix etc.

I also suggest you check Petfinder all the time. google in Petfinder and poodle mix or any other label you think might work and the various zip codes you might drive to.

If you are not only looking for a rescue. I can help you with that too. At the top of this page under help is advice on choosing a breeder - read it. Also there is a group that has owner recommended breeders - these owners have actually been to these breeders and can highly recommend them. I have a doodle kisses friend in Chapel Hill North Carolina. I don't know how close that is to you but she might have suggestions for your area. She is listed as Linda, Webber and Seda.
