I find it irritating that they have the whole medical/vet theme going on - as if that makes them really professional and upstanding.
They are not goldendoodles anyway, they are F1 Golden Retriever/Poodle crosses. And I sent them an email telling them so. Even though they threaten to look up people's IP addresses if they make any negative comments by way of email. In fact, I gave them my email address and told them to feel free to get me in trouble if speaking your mind against something so wrong is not allowed in democratic countries.
All they are is completely committed to making a profit. Fancy not allowing prospective buyers to physically look at any of the pups without paying first? That is disgusting.

HAHA I got a reply!!!
Here is what that puppymill wrote back to me:
First of all...the next time you have a thought....LET IT GO!
We have plenty of happy customers who do not share your personal beliefs or opinions and you need to take a good, hard look in the mirror before passing judgement onto people you don't know or even have a remote clue as to who they are or what they are.
You obviously have inward, personal issues going on within yourself to send hateful email to those you don't know. Does it make you feel like a better person? Did your sending us hateful comments make you feel better about yourself? Is your life so boring and so incomplete that all you have going on in your life is to scour the internet looking for people to send hate mail to? What a waste!
Please go see your therapist immediately
Lordy Dordy, how professional! What a bunch of great people!

Those bassets are definitly crossed with begale or something. That's not how a basset is suppose to look. Their paws were way too small, their leggs were way too long and thier ears were way too short ...I could go on, but this is really awful. The way the site was set up you could tell all they cared about was money, those poor dogs , they all looked unhealthy. You can tell that the money being made was not going to them. How sad!

I have received no less than three abusive emails since my intial one telling them that what I thought.
Tried to tell me that they've been doing what they do for eons and do not `live off their dogs'. I have not bothered to reply, even though it made me so angry. You just can't get through to some people.
The thing that's made me the maddest, is that their `purchase policy' doesn't once talk about the standards that must be met in order to buy one of their puppies, all it talks about is money. So basically, if you can fork out however much they charge before you even get to see a puppy - you have to buy off PHOTOS?????? - you can have one, no matter who you are. Just disgusting.
What I want to know is, is there anyone that these people can be reported to? Surely not even being able to view a puppy before putting down a ridiculously huge deposit must be illegal...

Those poor pups! The dogs look horrible.. Ruby, I can't believe they replied! I sent an email to the "Bad Breeder" I posted about the other day, she didn't reply to me, and many other fellow ACD lovers did also and they too did not get a reply. I wish she would though... I'd LOVE to she what she has to say!.... Well I must go check my emails now...
Oh yes, they replied instantly! When I said I was in animal welfare, they told me to `go and get a real job' - which clearly states their attitude towards animals, if they don't think that's a real job! I was tempted to write back and say, `I have a real job, I help animals, you exploit them' but I didn't. I don't want to engage in internet tit-for-tat with morons like them...
In my reply to their first email I said that I helped to rescue dogs for a living, and they wrote back - `not any of OUR dogs'. Well, clearly not, I live in Australia!! But I have no doubt that their harsh refund policies have led to many dogs in shelters. I emailed the ASPCA this morning to see if their purchase policy is actually legal - I can't imagine anywhere that would insist on you paying for something before you actually see it, and then being forbidden a refund if you don't like what you get, when you DO actually get to see it!!
Did you notice on their site they tell you not to write and criticise them, quite clearly??? Obviously I'm not the first person who has written to give them opinions on their backyard breeding.

They also tried to tell me that my PUREBRED Australian Standard Labradoodles are nothing but nasty illegal backyard crosses - and that they came up with Goldendoodles long before we ever came up with Labradoodles in Australia, but despite that, the whole nasty Doodle mess is Australia's fault. Complete contradiction of themselves there. And I don't think they've been puppy milling since before 1982, when the first Labradoodle was bred.
