Before purchasing a brand new puppy -- especially a mixed breed 'poo' or 'doodle', make sure you check out the breeder you are purchasing from. Some are great, with nothing to hid -- others are not so nice.
We recently had a run in with a place in Hartland, MN that was not so nice to us. They refused to let us see the parents of the puppy we wanted to purchase, when we persited, they became extremely unpleasant. Needless to say, we did not purchase a puppy from them.
There are some great websites that give advise on purchasing a puppy, please educate yourself before you unknowingly purchase a puppy from a puppy mill:
