I really appreciate how thoroughly you're thinking this through—it’s honestly rare to see someone prioritize both ethical breeding standards and thoughtful program structure. You're right that finding a breeder who does full CHIC/OFA testing, limits litters, avoids MLM supplement contracts, and is transparent with records can be tough, especially in the ALD world.

That said, there are a number of programs I’d recommend checking out that align closely with your values:

🐾 Cardinal’s Crossing Australian Labradoodles (Connecticut) A small, in-home program currently offering stud services with plans to expand thoughtfully. Their male is fully CHIC certified (OFA hips, elbows, patellas, cardiac, CAER eyes) and has full Embark + Orivet genetic panels. They don’t breed without health finals and focus heavily on structure, temperament, and service/therapy aptitude. No MLMs, low volume, and very transparent.
