Baylake Doodles
Baylake Doodles
I made a visit to Baylake last year and met the prospective parents of a puppy that was to be born in December,2009. I put a deposit down for a puppy from the litter. Communication was a problem from the beginning and I should have gone with my gut instinct that something was wrong. I found out on the website that the puppies were born much later than they were supposed to be born. I had been checking by email with the breeder and she kept stating “any day.” That went on for 3 weeks. Another red flag that they really didn’t know when they were due. I emailed the breeder and asked if one of the 5 pups was mine. She wrote back that yes, due to a cancellation!! Five days later I got an email that the puppies had all died from an infection transmitted by the Mother. She emailed that the Mother of that dog was being bred and there would be puppies in late Feb. I checked and checked and once again I saw on the website that 3 puppies were born and all sold! I tried to call and the voicemail was always full. Meanwhile I found a wonderful breeder and received the most beautiful puppy in the world in late April. I wrote a letter requesting my deposit back from Baylake. There was no response so I wrote a second letter requesting my deposit back due to the deaths of the puppies and I had gone in another direction. I had no response from either letter. I have since found out I probably was very lucky that I did not get a dog from this breeder. I would love to have my deposit back but more than that I want other people out there looking for a puppy to be very careful and avoid this breeder. -
I ended up with the sweetest, smartest puppy in the world from Moss Creek Goldendoodles. I have a 15 year old labradoodle but this breeder was so terrific I changed my mind immediately. Good Luck!
