Most breeders agree that a curly wool coated doodle is the best choice for severe allergy situations.  Have you done your research and been exposed to BOTH the puppy coat AND adult coat of a wool coated doodle?

We do prefer only placing pups with families having children no younger than six years old.  Very young children can not deal with the nipping that is so common in puppyhood - one of the reasons many doodles have been rehomed!  Puppies ARE rambunctious and young families have difficulty finding the time to deal with the training of a new pup AND taking care of their young children.   Remember, doodles are highly intelligent and can be very challenging!   What makes you think you can do this successfully? __________________________________________________________________

USING DOG SENSE:
Please note that 'marketing hype' is just another form of advertising and should
not be the only reason for this choice.  Visiting other Labradoodles, training facilities that have doodles in their classes, visiting dog parks, doodle romps and speaking to responsible doodle owners are a much better representation of this hybrid than unsubstantiated website claims.

TRAINING FOR YOU AND PUPPY!

For a successful companion, it is CRITICAL that your puppy be enrolled in a minimum of two obedience classes.  This would be waived if you can provide us with the name of a trainer that will assure me (in writing) to your apptitude for training.  I apologize, in advance, if you find this uncomfortable.  My primary concern is for the success of your pup in its new environment.  Consistency in training is so necessary, that I cannot stress it enough - not only for the pup, but for you (and your family) too!
