I haven't heard of them, but when I saw their website I came across "They are sold after 6 weeks to good homes." I'd check that statement out when you talk to them because it seems too early for the puppies to leave.

I have been trying to read a lot! I've read between 6 and 8 weeks is a good time. Do you think 6 weeks is too early?

6weeks is way to early, 8weeks is ideal

6 weeks is way too young they need to be with littermates and mom till 8 weeks.

California law forbids the sale of a puppy under 8 weeks old. They need to be at home with Mom and the litter to get that proper socialization to make a good start. Mom isn't finished teaching them yet at 6 weeks.

Another issue is that at 8 weeks they are just coming into the first fear period of their lives, so some breeders keep them for 10 weeks.

In the Monks of New Skeet book and the Raising Puppies and Children together, the authors recommend eight weeks as the minimum for the reasons stated above.

I agree with all of the statements... 6 weeks is way to early, puppies learn social skills between 6 & 8 weeks, puppies that are removed from their litter during this time usually develop behavioral problems, this can also be found in litters where there are no siblings/singletons.

Many states prohibit the sale or transfer of a dog prior to 8 weeks of age.

Keep reading most books say between 8 & 12 weeks.

They breed multiple breeds which is another red flag.

There is no mention of health testing that they do to insure healthy puppies. All ethical breeders will at a minimum do OFA Hips and CERF, there are many many more tests that need to be done however. They also make to mention of a guarantee, I would look for a 2 or 3 year warranty. It is possible they test and offer a guarantee but dont make mention of it on their site.

There are several pictures on their site that are property of other breeders and of Blue and the Goldendoodle website. It is possible they have permission to use these pictures but that is usually indicated out of courtesy to the owner of the pictures.

I decided not to get a puppy from that breeder. I found another breeder that I felt more comfortable with. We brought our little guy home the end of August. He was 8 weeks old at the time. He is now 15 weeks. Time sure does fly!!
