Jarka, Monty & Auggie replied to Denise Rollins's discussion Breeding Doodles"Denise, don't get scared. We've just seen way too many people with no breeding knowledge who decide to breed their dogs without giving it a deeper thought. Each good breeder must have started somehow so it's good that you have a…"
Denise Rollins replied to Denise Rollins's discussion Breeding Doodles"YIKES! Of course I have a contract from her breeder and the only reason I wanted to breed her, was to share the wonderful temperment she has with people in my area. I am not looking to make a buck. I certainly would not do it at my beautiful…"

Lynda Kamrath replied to Denise Rollins's discussion Breeding Doodles"You bet there is a desire for Labradoodles, and because of this desire, there is also a demand. However....you have to balance the desire/demand with the responsibility of breeding your pet. You need to do a lot of research before you…"

Karen & Jackdoodle replied to Denise Rollins's discussion Breeding Doodles"I think that sometimes, people just love their dogs and think their dogs are so cute and so wonderful that they want that dog to have puppies so they can have another one just like it, and their friends and family members can have one, too. But…"
Becka replied to Denise Rollins's discussion Breeding Doodles"Thanks, Karen, for all your wise words about this issue. I really hope that the original poster (and anyone else thinking about breeding their pets) takes them to heart. I've seen several episodes of "It's Me or the Dog" where…"
Karen & Jackdoodle replied to Denise Rollins's discussion Breeding Doodles"This is so true. Just yesterday I was looking at a breeder's site that had just about every misleading bit of hype you could think of about goldendoodles. Don't shed, hypoallergenic, healthier than purebreds, they all have a…"

L.M. replied to Denise Rollins's discussion Breeding Doodles"There is certainly a desire for doodles, but often it's for the wrong reasons. The number one thing people say to me when they see my 2 doodles is "Oh they don't shed, right?" The public is SO misinformed about our so…"

Well said! Ditto."

Yes many times breeders do take losses. Mariner's breeder is a prime example. Mariner was injured as a 7 week old puppy. The breeder spent alot of money on an a puppy that she would never be able to sell. Doggy…"
Kaytlin and Cooper replied to Denise Rollins's discussion Breeding Doodles"well said Jennifer! I agree, all good breeders have to start somewhere, and it must be with well bred, health tested dogs with good lineage. As long as its done right, then we are not saying dont breed. We are just saying if you are going to, go…"

Ginny Nightingale said… Your doodles are lovely and you live pretty close to me! I saw your discussion about breeding the doodle and I work for a breeder whelping litters and raising the pups--I can't stress enough the importance of knowing what you are doing before you do it. You can get good money for doodle pups, but people who spend that money are not stupid and expect you to do all the health testing first. Expect to spend upwards of $1000 for those tests plus the cost of driving to vets that so the tests.
There is also a stud fee that could be $2000 if it is a decent health tested stud. Then there are the vet bills that come with breeding and the pups need to be wormed, checked by the vet, vaccinated, etc. Oh, and do you have a whleping box? How about an exercise pen for the puppies when they are too big for the box? It goes on and on...It is hard to break even unless you have many dogs that can be bred. On the other hand, it is fun (But a LOT of work!!) to raise pups as long as you don't mind losing some money on the deal.
Of course, that is all assuming that you have permission to breed your female--most breeders insist on spaying because they "own" the genetics--if you signed a contract stating that then you could be sued for breeding your dog.
Let me know if you have any other questions or would like to call me--I am just about 45 minutes from you.
