So OH and I looking to get a puppy this summer, preferably July, so we need to get a move on with finding some reputable breeders!
I've always had large dogs (german shepherd, yellow lab, weimaraner) and OH has never had a dog before, and says he doesn't want a dog that looks like he couldn't take in a fight. Ok, so I suppose that's the shepherd out, then, but I think it's most other large dogs out, as well- though he's said he wouldn't mind a lab (me: wouldn't mind?!?!). We've decided that our ideal breeds would be Labradoodle, or other poodle cross (Id even consider a Lhasa-poo, even though they're so small, they're just so cuddly!), labrador, brittany, or west highland terrier (this was strictly OH's choice, but I've heard they're lovely dogs).
I know it's a strange cross-section of breeds, but if anyone knows reputable breeders of any of these or similar breeds to the south/south-east of London I would be so so so grateful!
