I'll just agree with Hornblower. :001_smile: Great advice. I hope you'll find the perfect smooshy-face to love!

Be sure to visit potential breeders, too. Check out their facilities. Check out the parents. "Reputable" is relative.

I'll agree, too! Great link, hb!

 

BTW, we adopted a labra-doodle from the rescue organization and it is one of the most wonderful dogs ever!
