The Doodle Zoo is a place for Doodle Owners, those hoping to become Doodle Owners, and Doodle Breeders, to meet and chat and share. While, as a group, we do not endorse any breeder, we do have certain expectations of the breeders that participate in our forum.
We encourage them to adhere to the highest standards of ethics. A good summary of the ethics we hope they embody is here, at the International Doodle Owners Group's site:

We know that every breeder will be asked some difficult questions at some point. We encourage them to follow our guidelines for civil discourse, the same guidelines for civil discourse that we hope EVERYONE will follow:
We also expect that breeders use photos on their website only if they have permission from the photographers to do so. We expect that any dogs on a breeders site that are not a product of that breeders program will be credited to the proper breeders program.
We expect that breeders will not attempt to surreptitiously redirect traffic from another breeder's web site to their own web site .
