Conclusion
From all these Breeders I definitely have a personal favorite but it can also depend on where you live and what you’re looking for.
In my opinion, Awesomedoodle is the best Doodle breeder (or at least Aussiedoodle breeder) you can choose because they offer a lot more than most but also manage to keep the puppies affordable in comparison to other breeders.
They are amazing people that have a passion for their Doodles and want the best for their puppies, staying in contact and helping you raise your puppy for years to come.
