Good questions Sadie! I agree with most everything that was said especially about the testing, health guarantee, and the breeder only selling to approved homes! :lol:
Nonetheless, just because some one has more than one breed does not qualify them as a mill. That is just ONE sign of mill type breeding. A lot of breeders that breed only one type of dog have more dogs than some that have more than one breed. Breeders that run mills don't test there stock and are usually selling to brokers and pet stores. Contrastly, many breeders that only breed one type of dog may not test their stock. So those might give you some ideas :idea: you could ask to help weed out the good from the bad.
When feeling like you may not know all the answers a site like the Goldendoodle & Labradoodle Premium Breeder's site can help you find the best of the best breeder. This is a place where test results must be sent to the administrator whom puts the breeder in a catagory based on their level of testing. No non-testing breeders are on that site.
Price doesn't necessarily equal quality, but test results speak for themselves! :wink: Hope this helps!
