Doodle referral

[Jayd (Dempsey)]

Hello Doodle Nation!
We have friends that are looking for a doodle but my breeder is no longer in business. Would love some referrals of reputable breeders from this community. They are looking for a medium/small sized dude. They live in the Philly area (which is close to the Lancaster puppy mills and I do not want them to go there!)

Any suggestions are appreciated!

Hi Jayd,

Breeder referrals, recommendations and reviews are not permitted in the open forums here on DK. People can send you PMs, but you will need to accept a friend request from them. :)

Oh my goodness! I'm so sorry. I didn't realize. Karen, should I remove the discussion?

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

No need to remove the discussion at all. People will see it and can then contact you privately. :)

[Jayd (Dempsey)]

I just didn't want them to go to. Puppy mill because I know there are a bunch in this area... Thank you for letting me know.

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

I'm glad you are aware of the mills and are giving them some guidance. :)

I absolutely will. Bummed my breeder is no longer in business. My pup is great! Healthy and friendly and just all around awesome. I just don't know any of the other ones and would hate to send them in the wrong direction. Thanks for the how to pick a breeder info. That is a great place to start!

Jayd, I'm in the Philadelphia area and may be able to give you some help with recommendations, but make sure to read through the link Sheri gave you.  I'll send you a friend request and you can pm me if you want.
