Looking for a Labradoodle breeder in MD/VA/ WV/DE area

[Anna]

Hi all,

We lost our beautiful (50lb) chocolate Lab, Sammi in mid December and are hoping to get a mini (25-35lb) chocolate Labradoodle this spring.  I have been reading and researching and found this amazing website!

We started conversations with Gleneden in VA and Judy has been very responsive - any other Gleneden doodle owners out there?

We have also had conversations with Chocolate Labrador Puppies in SC - has anyone used them?

We would appreciate any breeder recommendations, warnings, suggestions... via private message of course.

Thank you in advance!

Anna

Hi Anna, breeder recommendations and referrals are not permitted here in the open forums. Members can send you a private message if you accept a friend request.

Please make sure to read What to Look for in a Breeder and take it to heart. RUN from anyone who can't measure up. 

I sent you a friend request.

I'm looking into your 2 recommendations - thanks Karen!

Hi Anna - I have no knowledge on the breeders you are asking about - I just wanted to say that I'm so sorry about Sammi!  Hope you find what you are looking for soon!  I know it's hard to find a good breeder but do your research and ask as many questions here as you like.  I hope you get lots of private message answers!  Good luck!

Hi Wendy,

I have had a private message recommending 2 so far.  Hoping for more, but appreciate you warm wishes!

How do I send this info to you privately?

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

Kim, breeder referrals, recommendations, and links are not permitted here in the open forum, which is why Anna asked for people to send them via private message.

Why is that ?  Isn't an open and free exchange beneficial to this community ?

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

Adina answered that question here: http://www.doodlekisses.com/forum/topics/looking-for-a-minimedium

I think any further discussion of that topic belongs in another discussion.  

[Kim Pullen]

Yes, I do realize that. I was trying to send her the info privately and thought I was doing that. How do I take my comments down? I have looked all over the site and can't see how I do that. Also, Anna sent me a friend request and don't see how I privately respond to her with the info. I apologize. Did not intend to make this public. Help in getting it deleted would be appreciated!

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

There should be a small "X" to the upper right of your post. Just click that to delete. 

And up at the top of the discussion under Anna's profile photo, there's a little envelope icon with the words "Send Message". Not sure if you see all this on a smart phone, though. 

You can also send messages to your friends from your friend list on your page, or from your Inbox.

Thank u! U are right! Hard to see on an iPhone. So I finally found the small message box and the tiny x and deleted my public post recc the breeder. Again, new to the site and was just trying to get the info to Anna. Sorry! my bad!

No problem, lol!
