Lana, at Rustic Road Doodles is a reputable dog breeder and a breeder that is concerned with the betterment of a breed. Their breeding seasons are meticulously planned to match genetically superior female dogs and male dogs to give birth to healthy puppies with the desired traits of their breed.
My wife and I recently picked up a sweet and gentle puppy named "Buddy", he is very low keyed and an absolute joy to be around. Lana, made the hold adoption process quite simple. Lana was attentive and her response time was within hours of our inquiry.
These doodles are well worth the money as they will provide many years of enjoyment to the family.
If I am ever considering another puppy at a future date, I would definitely come back to Rustic Road Doodles again.
