MEET Rico
A Crossfield Doodle Down South BreederWe love our breeders and we think they are picture “paw”fect!
Our desire at Crossfield Doodles South is to take excellent care of our breeders in order to produce the healthiest and well-tempered puppies we can possibly provide for our customers.
Rico
Rico lives life in motion—this boy is always on the go and thrives on activity! Whether he’s exploring the outdoors or spending time inside with his people, he’s happiest when he’s part of the action. He has a wonderfully personable nature and loves to sit close, go for walks, and happily chase anything from a ball or stick to a favorite toy—or even a playful pup.
He’s friendly with everyone he meets, both dogs and humans, and has a sweet, social temperament. He listens well and is generally very obedient… unless something exciting catches his attention and he’s off in pursuit!

“What goes into a Crossfield Doodle?” Let’s start with the cost of owning our girls and boys. Puppies intended for breeding cost double and sometimes triple the purchase price of the same puppy intended as a pet. Purchasing a breeder is one thing, but after we purchase, we test! We have spent much money and time testing our breed fleet so we can make sure we are breeding genetically sound puppies. If you have done much checking around, you know transparent genetic testing is highly recommended and not easily achieved. See for yourself how dedicated we are to this at Pawprint Pedigrees!
If no pedigree is available, we have fully tested either parents or grandparents. These are both breeders produced by us. In these cases where you know parents/grandparents, then you know that a breeder is “Clear by Parentage”.
Genetic Testing
At Crossfield, we make every effort to continue to educate ourselves on best breeding practice. We use the knowledge we gain from multiple forums, including: 1) years of vet consultations with highly educated, well-practiced vets in our local area who specialize in canine reproductive health, 2) articles published by geneticists from PawPrints which speak specifically to genetic disease and canine reproduction, 3) professional peer dialogue with breeders across many breeds, and 4) independent research.
