We considered trying for a litter of pedigree golden retrievers, but fell in love the concept of the doodle and the thought of bringing together the best of both breeds.

After no small amount of looking around we went to Lisa at UKDoodles, and her stud dog Scout. I cannot rate highly enough the service we have received from them.

As you can see from the links, the doodles are a wonderful dog and hopefully the best of Baileys will be passed on to her pups..

We couldn't decide whether to keep the cream girl from the litter or a particularly cute black girl so ended up keeping both and have joined the ranks of doodle owners.

Please check out the photo albums and blog for updates on the puppies. It is said of poodles that owning anything else is just a dog - I think the same goes for the doodles.
