UPDATE at 4 yrs: We continue to enjoy our Bestland boy! Don’t get me wrong, he has the typical labradoodle quirks such as me having to buy two pairs of slippers so I always have at least one pair to put on after he sneakily steals one! But he is still one of the best “investments” we’ve ever made. He continues to have ZERO health problems. All our friends run up big vet bills with allergies and ear infections and more but he just gets his annual checkup and is declared in perfect health! His coat is very forgiving with respect to my unprofessional grooming. I like to do my own grooming to save money and bond with him. He is super smart. If we lose a ball on the trail I just say “Go get the ball” and he hunts it down no matter how far back it disappeared. He loves other dogs and we’ve started a neighborhood dog pack walk every morning so he gets his social fix. He is loving and cuddly and we just can’t imagine our lives without him.
2 yr UPDATE: Our Bestland ALD is now almost 2 years old. I wrote the review below quite some time ago so just wanted to reiterate everything said before plus say how important it is to go with a reputable breeder like Jeremy and Marcella Best. At the time it seemed like a lot of money for a puppy but since I’ve watched so many people try to economize on the breeder price but then they spend WAY more on vet bills later. Our dog has had ZERO health problems—no ear infections, no allergies, nothing. He is an absolute joy.
Previous Review: Bestland ALD is the best possible breeder. Jeremy Best reviewed what we wanted in a family pet and recommended a puppy to meet those needs. He and Marcella are so knowledgeable about the breed and provide detailed owner training prior to picking up the puppy on everything from the right diet to crate training and more. They have been very responsive in answering questions we have had since bringing our puppy home.
Our little guy is without a doubt the best dog I’ve ever known and I’ve had quite a few dogs in my lifetime. He is so smart and with such a funny, sweet personality. He is great with people , other dogs , and children. He has a gorgeous black fleece coat and is very easy to train. He has been such a fun addition to our family! Thank you, Bestland!
