Scary because when I was researching to get a puppy that nj goldendoodle website had come up in my research and I considered them!!! Sick...people are just sick!

http://goldendoodle.newjerseypuppiesforsale.com/?awkw=NJ%20goldendo...   this is one of the websites I encountered and it was on that video clip! I wasn't even expecting to find it still running after this but I guess they don't think they are doing anything wrong!

Thanks F....I'll do that.

So very, very sad.  I have been on this website looking for doodles, boy am I glad I did not use them !!!!  I think the key here is that you must insist on visiting the puppy first and if they decline then you know something is wrong.

That website has an ad right now as I am looking at this discussion on the side here!

They're all the same broker. And it's really all the same website.

[Ricki and Tara (doodle)]

I don't see it either but when I clicked on the link you posted I wanted to CRY looking at those babies!!

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

See, I don't have that one. I only see an ad for Fetchdog. I think which ads you get depend on your web surfing history, but I'm not sure. I dont see most of the ads here on DK, including the ones in the middle of the discussions.

Oh...maybe because I looked it up after I saw the Today Show segment, it is now popping up on my screen?

These people contacted me about selling my dogs.  I told them in no uncertain terms that I would never sell a puppy to someone without having lots of contact with them, before and after the sale.  They tried to tell me that they "screened" the buyers.  Yea right.  Makes me just sick to think of the heartbroken people and used and abused dogs.  Grrrr.  I posted this story early this morning but must have once again, done something wrong.  Glad it's out here for everyone to see.  Spread the word.

OMD! You must have been LIVID!!  Glad you put them in their place, Lynne!!!

If you type in any kind of puppy and put Atlanta in the search you come up with a "kennel" That advertises over 80 breeds of puppies, ready for Christmas.  Every time I come across it it makes me mad.

I know Ive posted three times on this subject but Ive got to say that the breeders that participated should be ashamed.  Maybe they didn't understand what they were getting into because the company paints a pretty rosy picture.  However the person that the Today Show  interviewed that worked for the company said the company told breeders to ship a puppy wether it was healthy or not.  Money money money. Ok I've got to quit thinking about this.  Think I'll go smell some sweet puppy breath from my babies. Sigh
