Talk:Rutland Manor Labradoodle Breeding and Research Center

I am in the process of documenting the history of the labradoodle breed, which starts significantly with the founding of Rutland Manor Breeding and Research Center in Australia. I have no affiliation with Rutland Manor.

In addition to being a cofounder of the breed, Rutland Manor also established the first two international labradoodle associations, and the breeder's foundation.

Beyond the labradoodle breed, Rutland Manor also pioneered mandatory health testing for breeding stock, juvenile desexing of puppies and the guardian home concept, revolutionizing the puppy breeding industry.

This is an important page for the history of the labradoodle breed, and for dog lovers in general.
 * Is there a reason why you suggest this hasn't already been adequately documented in the sentence on the Labradoodle page? I would agree that the breed itself is notable, but I have problems grasping the notability of the organization, which appears to be the only source of assertions of notability.  I'd like to see reliable sources that have specifically to do with the organization, written by arm's-length third-party expert sources in reputable publications.

 * I've merged and redirected to Labradoodle for now. The National Geographic reference will be a good one for that article, but it only mentions the organization in passing. If better sourcing that addresses the organization directly and in depth arises, it can always be unredirected then. Seraphimblade Talk to me 04:00, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

For what it's worth - Rutland Manor Breeding and Research Center is the name of a dog breeder's business. Don't let the name fool you, there is no research being done there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.152.115.205 (talk) 11:09, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
