    Any retired or soon to be retired breeding doodles going to be available as pets? Prefer medium sized or smaller. Must be good with young children under 5 and have calm temperament. Home raised a... more
    • Another option for you :) — Kelly-Orchard View Labradoodles, Mon May 7 18:44
      Hi Gabi. You might consider contacting a breeder close to you to find out if they have any adult girls available to a guardian home who may have one litter left. I've done this a few times with great ... more
    • Here is a great girl you could consider — Kendra~ Noble Vestal Labradoodle, Mon May 7 15:04
      Aspen is now available! She is from our Godiva Sir litter born October 31, 2011. Aspen has gone through our Primary Education program and is ready for her very own furever family. She knows Sit,... more

      I am curious why you are looking for a retired dog for a pet for your young children instead of a puppy that they can grow up with? Are you thinking there would be a price difference because usually... more

        Ooos! Accidentally forgot to post who I was again! Brain freeze! LOL
        • For Tracy — Gabi, Mon May 7 12:41
          It's not necessarily about cost, it's the fact that we want a dog out of its puppy stage who is house trained & social. Puppies are a lot more work, and it's a phase we want to skip.
          • older dog — Tracy - Desert Winds Labradoodle, Tue May 8 12:12
            I understand completely Gabi. A lot of people do want an older puppy or dog for that reason. A retired breeder would be pretty old, and as other said, you may take a chance that it has not been a... more
          • The puppy stage is the most rewarding — Joyce of Annabelle Doodles, Mon May 7 12:54
            experience of owning a dog. It gives you wonderful perspective when the pup has matured and you look back at how well you did raising it. Older dogs do not equate with 'trained' dogs. You might get... more

              dogs from other breeders that were shamefully undersocialized and poorly trained. I have one that I will have here forever that came from a large kennel as I could never in good conscience place her... more
            • sorry Joyce I don't agree — joy shadymaple, Tue May 8 00:51
              I have retired many breeding dogs and they are well socialized, housetrained dogs ready to be part of a family and I think any family would be lucky to have them, I know other breeders who also raise ... more
              • Yes, of course, there will be some that would — Joyce of Annabelle Doodles, Tue May 8 16:31
                make great pets, but let's face it, they are in the minority. Breeders who 'resell' their stud after they have used him up in their program come to mind. Most of those dogs are not house raised. They ... more

              when you need it? Not because you said my name. I honestly feel like the biggest disservice many breeders do to themselves, their dogs and owners is keeping dogs past 8 weeks of age. Many don't have... more
          • Re: For Tracy — Kendra~ Noble Vestal Labradoodle, Mon May 7 12:54
            There are many breeders who do a great job of raising a puppy from birth to 8 weeks but so much more care and attention goes into raising them right past 8 weeks. If they are not properly socialized... more
