Where did you get your Australian Labradoodle - and would you recommend your breeder?

[Fitz & Henry]

We have friends looking to get an ALD --
Anyone super happy with their ALD breeder??

The rules of the site do not allow members to make recommendations on the forum.  I am sure you will get friend requests with private messages with recommendations.

Hope your friends find the perfect doodle.

Oops! I didn't realize that.. Thanks for letting me know.

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

Here's the exact wording from the DK Guidelines, for all of those who might not be aware of this: 

Reviews of individual breeders do NOT belong in the main forum, blogs or groups or any public area of DK.  If you want to recommend your breeder, you may do so in our Owner Recommended Breeders group or invite your breeder to post an ad in our puppy sales groups (mentioned below) or make the recommendation privately (on a member's profile page or by private message). If you are seeking information on an individual breeder, please ask for private responses.

Thank you Karen - So should I change my post to say...please message me privately? Or just remove the post all together?

[Nancy, Ned, Clancy, and Charlie]

We have an Australian Labradoodle group and you might join that and post asking for people who have ALDs to message you.  We also have a group called Owners Recommended Breeders where people who have actually gone to the breeder's home and seen things with their own eyes and recommend the breeder.  We also have a group where breeders who meet the guidelines dk has outlined for reputable breeders can post their litters.  If you need help finding these groups, let me know and I will look up links.

Thank you Nancy....I'm pretty new on here and haven't figured out the best way to navigate all of this Doodle-glory!  : ) Any help you can offer is appreciated.

I think I may just remove the original post...

 

Don't want to ruffle any feathers....

It is perfectly okay to ASK for recommendations.  Just take all recommendations (that you receive privately) with a grain of salt and compare them with this article: What To Look for in a Breeder  

Or better yet, send the article to your friend.
