Tips to help you find a good, reputable breeder.

 

-Ask questions!

 

-A good breeder does not mind sharing their knowledge with you.

They should be proud of their dogs and want toshare information about them with you.

Whether it's health questions,questions about their temperaments or sharing pictures of the prospective

sire and dam.

 

-Health testing.

Ask if both parents of the puppies have had full health testing done. The proper tests should include-Hip and Elbow Dysplasia, Patella, Cardiac, CAER and a panel for genetic diseases related to Goldendoodles.

-Ask if the tests have been certified by the OFA (Orthopedic  Foundation for Animals) Pennhip or eVet. You may ask to see the health certificates.  If you ask about health testing and you get a response like this: "My vet says that both parents are healthy and they go for routine checkups" that is not health testing! A  veterinarian cannot diagnose hereditary, genetic diseases through routine health check ups. You are paying for a  quality, healthy puppy that you want to remain with your family for many years to come. It's important to make sure that the breeder you choose has taken responsible measures to ensure that they are producing healthy pets for families.

​

-Lineage.

Breeders should know their lineage. They should be able to tell you where their dogs parents and grand parents are from and possibly even beyond that. This will help to know if there are any health conditions that are not yet testable for in your puppys parents genetic background.

​

-Environment.

Choose a breeder who's puppies are raised in a clean, roomy, home environment. Puppies should not be raised in a small cage, should not be raised in a barn or in an outside dog run. Puppies and dogs require proper socialization and the first weeks of their lives are so very important to make a good family pet.

 

-Communication

-You should feel comfortable asking your breeder for advice on the preparation needed for bringing your new puppy home. You will likely have questions and may need some support after you have brought your puppy home. You will want to choose a breeder that you can have a good communicative relationship with.

 

-A puppy should never leave to his or her new home before 8 weeks old. Puppies younger than 8 weeks are not emotionally ready to leave their mom and their siblings.
