Help finding affordable breeder in midwest

lookingforlabd · 04-05-2008, 02:12 PM

We're looking for a breeder.

We talked to one in KS but her price is @2300. That is way out of our budget.

Our budget is more like $1200 at the very highest.

We are looking for a medium or standard size Labradoodle.

We live in Kansas City but are willing to travel if need be.

Is it possible to find a good breeder in our price range that offers a good guarantee?

Thanks for any help

I would guess you were talking to a breeder who has Australian Labradoodles which are more expensive for a breeder to get, as well as then to sell for others.

In addition to puppies I might recommend you contact breeders about any dogs they are about to retire, as they are usually very reasonably priced if the breeder is convinced you will continue to love and cherish their dog in the same way they have, while he/she was breeding.

Send me an email, John, and I will be glad to tell you some ideas I have and also I might have some referrals, and I will be glad to tell you about our puppies, as well.
