It's not enough to simply go with a breeder a friend said is \"good.\" You need to have concrete facts to go on. In this episode, I discuss what those important facts are so you can ask the right questions to find the right breeder for you and make sure you're not shelling out thousands of dollars to a breeder who is not meeting high standards. \n\nCorrection: In the episode I incorrectly stated the term \"puppy lemon laws\" when I was referring to state laws concerning minimum age for sale of puppies. Puppy lemon laws have to do with not selling a puppy that's \"defective\" for lack of a better term and each state has different rules. According to the AKC, \"In New Jersey, for instance, the buyer has 14 days to return a puppy deemed “unfit for purchase” by a veterinarian, and six months to return a dog with a hereditary or genetic defect.\" Links:What to Look for in a Breeder (DK article)Health issues in doodles and appropriate testing — Know the most common health issues for the doodle mix you're interested in so you can best screen breeders to increase the chances you'll get a healthy puppy that turns into a healthy dog. Most diseases don't show up until a dog is past the two year mark. So testing is important.Orthopedic Foundation for Animals — A great place to look up a prospective breeder's dogs to see what testing they've had done. Doodle breeders often don't report their results so you'll find a lot of missing data, but worth looking into. This website also lists important tests for each breed. An invaluable resource!PennHIP website — Learn all about PennHIP testingAn example of impeccable testing (golden retriever) — Want to see what a fully health tested dog's OFA listing looks like? You can't get much better than this for a golden retriever! Notice how often his eyes have been tested. As far as health clearances, this breeder is on top of things!Health issues in Poodles — If you've got a doodle, at least half of its health issues will be passed on from that poodle parent. So it is VITAL to know what the poodle could, potentially, contribute to your dog's health issues. Be informed and ask your breeder about their poodle line and what testing (when testing is an option) they've done to ensure they are not passing on these conditions. Breeder comparison chart — A fabulous chart from the German Shepherd Club of America detailing what distinguishes various types of breeders from one another. Doodle breeders, by default, won't fit all the highest standards because they don't show in conformation or participate in breed sports, but this is still very informative and can help you better distinguish between who to support with your money and who not to support with your money.Australian Labradoodle Association of America — One of three Australian Labradoodle clubs. Each one has their own ideals. For example the ALAA does not require that pups are spayed/neutered before they are sold. Doodle Kisses doesn't endorse any individual club. Looking at the breeder lists in a doodle club is a helpful place to start, but do your due diligence and don't accept club membership as proof a breeder is right for you.Worldwide Australian Labradoodle Association — One of three Australian Labradoodle breed clubs. WALA also does not require mandatory spay/neuter on pups before they are sold. Doodle Kisses doesn't endorse any individual club. Looking at the breeder lists in a doodle club is a helpful place to start, but do your due diligence and don't accept club membership as proof a breeder is right for you.Goldendoodle Association of North America — The only goldendoodle breed club in North America -- has a set of standards. Looking at the breeder lists in a doodle club is a helpful place to start, but do your due diligence and don't accept club membership as proof a breeder is right for you.

In this episode, I discuss what those important facts are so you can ask the right questions to find the right breeder for you and make sure you're not shelling out thousands of dollars to a breeder who is not meeting high standards.

\n\n

Correction: In the episode I incorrectly stated the term "puppy lemon laws" when I was referring to state laws concerning minimum age for sale of puppies. Puppy lemon laws have to do with not selling a puppy that's "defective" for lack of a better term and each state has different rules. According to the AKC, "In New Jersey, for instance, the buyer has 14 days to return a puppy deemed “unfit for purchase” by a veterinarian, and six months to return a dog with a hereditary or genetic defect."

Great resource!Do's and Don'ts on How Kids and Dogs Should Interact — Great visual graphics and explanations to help prevent dog bites and teach kids how to interact with dogs.Factors Affecting Behavior and Welfare of Service Dogs for Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder — \r\nInterestingly, Burrows, Adams, and Millman (2008) studied the impact of autism dogs on the dogs themselves. The authors conducted a series of interviews with members of 11 families who used dogs for their children with ASD. Parents were interviewed at three different time periods – when they were receiving training about their new dog, and every third month for 6 months. The authors reported that generally the dogs were loved and bonded well with all members of the family. However, the dogs were placed under significant stress. Typically, service dogs are trained to bond primarily with the person whom the dog will be helping. One difference between autism dogs and other service dogs is that autism dogs are trained to primarily bond with and take instructions from the parent(s), but must also work with the child with ASD. Families reported that dogs developed a primary relationship with one or both parents, and to a lesser extent, the child with ASD. Only four of the 11 children with ASD showed interest in the dog, with interest defined as petting or initiating any sort of social approach. Thus, dogs seemed to prefer interactions with parents and were more likely to follow their commands. Generally, the children with ASD provided less attention and social contact with the dog than the other family members.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, some of the unique features of ASD (e.g., disrupted sleep schedules, aggression) placed the autism dogs under significant stress. For example, some dogs could not sleep for long periods of time, if the child with ASD went without sleep. Some dogs spent long hours “working” when accompanying a child to school, which inhibited urination and defecation. Some children engaged in aggression towards the dogs, causing dogs to startle and move away from the child. Thus, dogs often received mixed social signals from the child with ASD, but were then still expected to respond appropriately to commands from the parents and bond with the child. Thus, if autism dogs are to be used, the caregivers should consider the physical well-being of the dog as well (e.g., ensure appropriate rest-recovery time, recreational activities).Support the Podcast — Enjoy the podcast?

In this episode I interview Doodle Kisses member, Jane (Guinness & Murphy). Her first labradoodle was the poster child for labradoodles. Perfect in every way: easy to train, great with humans of all ages and loved other dogs.

Then came Labradoodle #2, Murphy, who was a whole different ballgame and required a different level of commitment to training and management. He was nothing like his perfect older labradoodle brother. He has had his share of Cujo moments. When he was only 10 weeks old, even his vet warned his Mom that she needed to get a trainer "NOW."

Murphy has been a VERY challenging dog. Luckily his owner, Jane, was more stubborn than him. In today's episode of The Doodle Kisses Podcast, you'll learn all about Jane's journey with a very challenging dog and how she's stepped up to the plate to meet his needs for structure and leadership and ultimately saved his life.
