ABOUT US
The internet is inundated with puppy scammers, puppy mills, and puppy mill brokers. When you search for a "Goldendoodle" on Google the first page is flooded with paid ads promoting puppy mill broker websites. These brokers are selling THOUSANDS of puppy mill puppies a year. They sell so many they can afford to purchase private jet planes to deliver them to customers. They can also afford the best advertising, the best website designers, the best sales people, and the best marketing strategists to burry bad reviews and replace them with good ones.
The non profit StopOnlinePuppyMills.org is dedicated to ending online puppy mills through educating and advocacy. They're a great resource to learn who these brokers and puppy mills are and what to look out for to spot them. Puppy mills aren't just in other states like most people assume, there's plenty of them right here in California. In fact the majority of so called "breeders" selling puppies in California are actually selling puppies they obtained from puppy mills. Another great resource to learn more is
THE HUMANE SOCIETY'S HORRIBLE 100 LIST
It's extremely difficult to obtain a permit to own more than 4 adult dogs in the state of California. So when you see someone advertising more than one litter of puppies, having puppies often, or selling different breeds of puppies, you should ask them where are all the puppies parents? Are they claiming to use guardian homes? Are you able to go to the guardian home and see how the pups are being raised? Are you able to meet the pup's parents? Do they insist on meeting you some where or delivering the pup to you? Are you not allowed to meet the pup until it turns 8 weeks old? Are they using excuses like they need to protect the pups from parvovirus so you can't go around them? Those are all RED FLAGS you should watch out for.
If they own the parents but don't have all the proper licenses and permits, they're putting them at risk. If they get caught, they'll be shut down and fined. The dogs will be seized by animal services and taken to the dog pound where they might be euthanized.
If they were in it for the LOVE of the animals they wouldn't be putting them at risk. It doesn't matter how "nice" or how "honest" they might seem their actions speak louder than words! Not to mention the fact that illegal breeders hurt the legitimate ones that pay taxes and fees.

LICENSE info
To make sure that the person (or place) that you're adopting a puppy (or any type of animal) from is legitimate, they MUST have a valid animal license (issued from the county they're conducting business in) and also proof of passing inspection by the Department of Animal Care & Control (with an "A" inspection grade). If they don't then it means that you're getting SCAMMED, because it's against the law to breed and or sell animals or even to adopt out rescue animals without having a license and passing inspection. When in doubt you can verify information with the county or the Department of Animal Care & Control. For example all of our information; our name, address, phone, license, and inspection grade can all be verified.
