Hi,
I was just wondering, I'm looking for a goldendoodle breeder in the Illinois area.
It has to be a breeder that I can go to and see if they really do what they say.
There is so much fraud going on with dogs and puppy mills and so on...
Thank you , M.C

What can I do next?

Oh my gosh. Call me and I will tell you about our Bogo. She is a red golden doodle. Here is the website: http://www.doodlepuppy.com/index.html

This breeder believes in breeding goldens with poodles NOT doodles with doodles. This is important. We have refered another family to this breed and they love their dog too.

I know it's tempting to try to find the "perfect" dog, but have you looked at local shelters for a puppy? It's a shame to breed new dogs when so many are put to sleep each day because no one chooses them. We found a sweet 2-year old mixed-breed dog that we wouldn't trade for the world. We visited four or five different shelters, because we were determined to find a non-shedding, mid-sized dog. We finally found Kiki at Orphans of the Storm up in Deerfield. It was worth the hunt!

marion: I would think twice or more about getting
a "goldendoodle" whether from a "breeder" or not.
I'm not sure what you think they "do"??? But, there are
so many unwanted, unloved dogs in adoption programs
all over the state, supporting hybrid breeding just
doesn't make sense.
You can find a wonderful companion for your family at a
golden ret. rescue group or at an animal rescue facility.
You might even find a goldendoodle....
I am a canine behavior specialist and dog trainer and this
"fad" of breeding mixed breeds and selling them is only resulting in dogs with many physical and mental issues and
increasing the homeless dog population.
Thanks.

Are goldendoodles "real" dogs anyway to be able to find a so called breeder that not a miller?

Read about the history of how goldendoodles/Labradoodles came to be.

It might be hard to find that awesome "Breeder" for a dog that is not recognized as a "breed"

I'm not scolding you by any means, just giving you insight to the breed.
Here's what I found:
The Goldendoodle is not a purebred; rather, it is a specific type of mixed-breed dog or crossbreed. As such, it is not accepted for registration by mainstream registries of purebred dogs such as the American Kennel Club or United Kennel Club. A true club will only register dogs with a provable pedigree.

Some breeders allege that the Goldendoodlestandard is a first generation (F1) pairing between purebred Poodle and Golden Retriever parents. Others maintain a looser definition and include under the classification what is known as an F1-backcross Goldendoodle, or F1-B. This dog results from a union of Goldendoodle plus Poodle or Goldendoodle plus Golden Retriever parents. Those marketing F1-B puppies resulting from an F1 paired with a Poodle typically maintain that such animals achieve the same hypoallergenic qualities as the purebred Poodle.

There are currently several breeders attempting to develop the Goldendoodle as an actual breed. This requires formation of a sufficiently large breeding stock as identified by previous breeding history, number of animals, geographic dispersion, etc. and accepted by the registration entity. After breed formation, only offspring from pairings of animals within this locked set are considered to represent the breed. The risk of future genetic problems from such selective breeding is best answered by early establishment of a varied, original, gene pool. Even with these precautions by the registry, the subsequent, aggressive, breeding practices that are often pursued amongst the most popular breeds can produce problems that might only reveal themselves as the dogs mature. On the other hand, all modern breeds have been developed in exactly this way--by limiting the parental pool in order to isolate targeted characteristics of structure, color, and aptitude. To date, no all-breed registry recognises the Goldendoodle as an official breed.
