What makes us good breeders,

First I cannot believe you have moved so many times, Jac..wow....but I certainly can understand why....having the land for your pups and older dogs to run about "must be like heaven".

WE live on one acre...they are able to run, but nothing like if it were on 4 acres or more....a dream of ours when we are older & retired fom our primary jobs. I can picture us raising healthy labradoodles for many years to come. Its in our blood ...

We live in a secluded neighborhood along the East Coast & being able to run with them along the shore is a plus...Even though there is a "leash Law" No-one ever is at the beach where we live, so they bother virtually No-one..its a beautiful thing. Kelsey will swim along as we walk along the stretch of beach...Kozmo will walk along with us along with Monet & Finnegan...they do not like to swim...
So the dogs will get good exercise and we do not have to want for much right now.

Raising the little guys and seeing them go to their forever homes is so rewarding, expecially when they send emails back to us with pics either with their children or with themselves....Most of our customers lately are Married couples with children whom have waited on getting a dog until their chldren were old enough to appreciate the dog and assist with poop clean up and care of their dog. That is what we love...

..So what makes us good breeders?
We have turned away a few lately due to their work schedules of 9-5 ers....WE could not feel comfortable handing over any of our pups to a person who works 9-5 Mon-Fri. This time around we have turned away 2 prospectives...sigh...( what are they thinking)

The application we added to the web site has helped tremendously ( thanks to Todd ) to weed out the ones we do not feel comfortable with..but to tell the truth, it is a rare occurence. Most who send us the application are wonderful families looking for that perfect dog they have been hearing about , seen for themselves and truly want to raise at home with their family, now that ALL are ready for the love & fun!
