I drove Bear from Smithfield Rhode Island to Wilkes-Barre Pennsylvania. He is a breeding puppy from Ocean State Labradoodles and he is going to another reputable breeder. Both breeders are members of ALAA (Australian Labradoodles Association of America). They are focused on best practices breeding, to maintain healthy dog lines. The dogs in the program are raised by local guardian families. Once the dog has done his/her breeding duties, they remain with that family for the rest of their lives. I wish every breeder used ethical breeding practices, like this! We would have a lot more happier and healthier dogs in the world.
