I was brought up in a house without animals and my husband's family was just the opposite and had animals of all kinds. When we got married, he was persistent about wanting a dog. Eight years and two children later, he finally twisted my arm. Being allergic and having never had a dog before I was very hesitant, but started to do some research about Labradoodles. I met Maureen and Labradoodle Ranch online when I posted some general questions about the breed. Maureen gave me some of the most honest and thorough answers and quickly became a fabulous resource as I searched for a breeder close to my Massachusetts home. During the search, Labradoodle Ranch's Chloe gave birth to a litter. With Maureen and the puppies being so far away I did not consider bringing one of them into our home all the way from Colorado. Of course when I got pictures of the litter I couldn't pass up on Maureen's offer to personally deliver our puppy. Best decision my family has ever made!!! We welcomed Jax into our home in February 2011. At eight weeks old Maureen traveled via plane, with Jax as a "carry on" so that he did not have to be crated. He came with toys, food, blankets... everything he needed so he was comfortable with the transition. It was clear he was raised in a loving home! Jax was and still is easily trainable (he was housebroken after only a week), he is adventurous and very affectionate. Our family has been made complete with the addition of Jax!!! - Jennifer, Boston Mass.
