Hey M~ I think I can answer why we are "nice" :
we respect each other! We see ourselves as colleagues more than competition. We're all different, but we all have good standards and different approaches and timing to our puppies.
If someone is just wanting to recover the cost of their Doodle with one litter, and that's it, then you might not see the respectful side of us! :wink: That's not the sign of someone who's going to do the work required to offer sound healthy puppies.
As Jacque said if someone is really wanting to be a responsible breeder they'll find help and support here. We won't do the work of researching for you - none of the other forums will offer that either. But support? sure.
http://www.goldendoodle-labradoodle.org/ is a site that lists what testing a responsible "quality" breeder will do for their puppies by the way. You might like to check it out.
