Good breeders can be difficult to find, especially for a relatively "unusual" breed of puppy. We contacted Gooddog to find a breeder for an Irish Doodle puppy (Irish Setter/Poodle cross). The breeder we chose was Katie Brown of Desert Doodles in Mesa, Arizona (breeder of Irish Doodles, Poodles and Mini Golden Doodles) because of her reputation and location to us. Katie told us she had a litter of Irish Doodles ready to leave in a few weeks but were all spoken for. She put us on a wait list and, amazingly, a puppy became available. Katie was very accommodating with information on the puppy as well as arranging a convenient pickup day and time. When we arrived at her facility, Katie answered our questions, had our puppy's vet/health records for us, food for our 6 - hour trip and our puppy had been freshly bathed. We have kept in touch with Katie, who readily answers our questions and happily receives updated stories and pictures of our puppy. Katie is always available with kindness and information. Our puppy, Sadie, is healthy, sweet, smart, social, and loves all animals and people (especially children). We are anxious to work with Katie of Desert Doodles again for another Irish Doodle puppy.
