The decision to own a dog is a major one as you will have the responsibility of ensuring the wellbeing of your pet. One step towards ownership of a dog is to find the right pooches that you can comfortably find a suitable home for. There are many types of dog breeds with the Goldendoodle being the most preferred breed by most people as family pets. The main reason behind this is that Goldendoodles do not shed a lot and have a lovable temperament. A Goldendoodle is a crossbreed between a Golden Retriever and a poodle and is known to be naturally energetic and alert. Once you have decided to go for a Goldendoodle, you should find a reputable breeder that can deliver healthy pets in your kind of environment. However, with the many Goldendoodle breeders in the market, selecting the most suitable one can be quite an overwhelming experience. For that reason, you should consider some factors as will be discussed here, to make an informed purchase.

One important factor you should consider when buying a Goldendoodle is your budget. No doubt Goldendoodles are quite expensive, hence the need to set a budget and stick to it to avoid putting a straining on your finances. Once you have a budget, you should shop around and compare the various prices offered by the different breeders and settle on one that is most reasonable for you. You should, however, be wary of Goldendoodles offered at a suspiciously low price as they may not in good health condition. You should, therefore, look for a reputable breeder as they are known to offer a reasonable price for their pets.

When purchasing a Goldendoodle, you should also ask to see the parents. The main reason for doing so is to establish whether the parents are healthy and also to confirm if indeed one is a Golden Retriever and the other one is indeed a poodle. If the breeder hesitates to provide you with proof of who the parents of the Goldendoodle you intend to purchase are, you should seek a different alternative as that is an indication of a questionable reputation. That could also mean that the dog of your choice could be a different breed entirely.
?
The other crucial factor you should consider when purchasing a Goldendoodle is the vet records. You should ask to see the vet records of the Goldendoodle you intend to buy to determine whether the puppy has been dewormed and also received his or her first set of shots. The vet records will also help you determine if the puppy is in good health condition and ready for adoption or not.
?
Before settling on Goldendoodle, you should also ask to see the living conditions of the puppy. By seeing where the puppy is living, you will be able to determine if she or she has been properly cared for or mistreated. In doing so, you will be able to avoid purchasing a puppy that has been abused or neglected as dealing with such a puppy can be quite difficult when it comes to rebuilding the trust for humans that may have been broken by the breeder. A reputable breeder will not hesitate to show you around and prove to you that are proving perfect living conditions for their litters.
