Be leery of a labradoodle breeder in Arkansas who is selling puppies and claiming they are F1B.

I went into the deal to purchase what I believed to be a true F1B. Once we finally got all the pedigree paperwork, after we got the puppy of course, we discovered that our puppy is a product of F1B x F1B. When I brought this to the breeder’s attention, I was lashed at with all sorts of Bible quotes, and saying that I am a sick and bad person, etc, etc. I even pointed the breeder to several links I found, including the ALAA, that explicitly states the definition of an F1B and a multigen. This was followed by more lashing on me, more Bible quotes, and that I was wrong, didn’t know what I was talking about, that they had been breeding longer than my resources, that they wish they had never sold me the puppy, that they wish I would sell it to a better home, etc, etc.
I never once stated that I wanted a partial or full refund. I never once stated that I was unhappy with the puppy. In fact, we love the puppy and I think we lucked out and still received a quality bred one. But according to the breeder, I am doomed to hell and will receive my punishment on judgment day.
Sorry if this turned into a mild vent, but if nothing else it can serve as a lesson to others who are researching. Make sure the breeder from which you intend to purchase has the same definition as you.
