Did I make a mistake?

I've put a deposit on a Labradoodle. Both my girlfriend and I discussed getting a dog for quite a while and after much research decided on a labradoodle. We actually met a few and I think that was the deciding factor. However after reading a lot fo this I don't think I've done enough research into my breeder. They're not listed on http://www.goldendoodle-labradoodle.org ... ctory.html and a lot of coin phrases are coming up in this forum familiar to my situation. "They didn't ask us about the home we would be giving the dog", "Mennonite Farm", "Breeder Mill" etc. etc....I'm starting to get nervous about making the wrong choice for breeder. Is anyone familiar with Burkhart's Kennels? They don't chip and now that I've done some research I'm finding other breeders that do?

The litter is due any day actually. We're hoping to get a poodle chocolate lab mix. Hope hope....

We were told once the litter is born we can come and choose our dog and then we're not allowed to pick it up until 8 weeks after that. I've asked to get the largest male of the litter. I've always liked large dogs. My girlfriend wanted something that didn't shed. Labradoodle was the compramise. However I think we were sold on the breed long ago when we met a couple that had one and heard/saw nothing but good things.

When we visited the farm it seemed very proffesional. However even prior to reading this I was suprised we were never asked about or housing situation and what our schedules were like and if we had enough time to accomodate a dog. At this point I think we just have to cross our fingures.
