Looking for a Labradoodle

[Larry fonseca]

Hello! I am looking to purchase a labradoodle. We are in Connecticut and are willing to drive 3-4 hours away. We have been looking and looking but have had no luck. Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated. Please message us.

Karen, what are the requirements to be on the breeder list you posted? I'm just curious...

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

They have to adhere to the ALAA breeding guidelines, plus the testing included here: http://alaa-labradoodles.com/BreederMembership.html

So, the ALAA makes this list? Breeders can be taken off? I noticed a change of breeders from a list I saw a few months ago.

I don't have an ALD and don't really know exactly how their membership works. it appears that members must apply, pay a fee, and meet their standards. I would think that breeders could choose to leave the group, not necessarily be removed by the organization, but I would also hope that the organization would remove any members who were not following the guidelines. 

I like their advice to prospective buyers. I think the group as a whole is trying to follow responsible breeding practices and produce healthy dogs.

That would be the hope...producing healthy dogs and practice responsible breeding practices!
