Yes we did 3 years ago. Our spoodle is the smartest dog around and very loving and loyal. He is mid sized between a miniature size and standard poodle. He is second generation, his mother is a spoodle, the father a miniature poodle. He is from American cocker spaniel line which sheds less than an English cocker spaniel. Our spoodle doesn’t shed at all. I had no issues with these people, but I am concerned that they are now going down to 3rd and 4th generations.

Get a Greyhound.
1. Its a purebred
2. It will probably end up going to the vet to be put down or in a medical centre because not enough people out there realise about greyhounds.
3. they’ve got better personalities than designer/cross breeds.

PuppyMills/Designer dogs suck.

A Reputable breeder doesn’t mix breeds on purpose and give the dogs cute designer names, Though not all mutt breeders are bad. Its you who needs to do the research and you started by asking here that’s good! Now you need to get their vet number call and be sure they are seen regularly and there breeding stock is given OKs for breeding. Call area shelters and law enforcement find out if they were ever complained about or there dogs wound up in shelters for behavioral issues, see if they will give you references to current owners for testimonials on there dogs…see if they let you visit and tour the entire premises so they are not hiding anything, then lastly check out how many dogs they have there should be one person per 5 to 10 dogs be sure they have adequate staffing if they have large amounts of dogs, this is crucial for proper socialization. If they dont comply on any of those points above I would proceed cautiously I would never pay those kind of prices for mix breeds like Spoodles.
Contrary too what someone said about them being a puppy mill thats not always true of mixed breed breeders… you just have to do lots of digging.. I havent heard of anything with these guys but if they are a large kennel facility then the are more of a processing plant for dogs and are in it for profit rather than breeding good dogs.

If you actually did mean to type "spoodle" and not "poodle" I can tell you right now that your paying for a mixed breed dog and it’s highly unlikely that you’ll get anything better than a dog you could get at your local shelter for much less money. Considering that such breeders are often unscrupulous to begin with by trying to convince people that puggles and cockapoos are registered breeds and should cost top dollar, I wouldn’t generally expect them to be all that honest about the quality of their dogs.

THAT IS A PUPPYMILL!!!

Stay away do not give them a dime to risk the lives of animals for money.

NO DECENT BREEDER MIXES BREEDS.
