This just answers the part about where to get your noodle from!

I suggest browsing on YouTube and looking through the smaller bp breeders. That's how I found my little boy and he's happy and healthy as can be! I wasn't as comfortable buying from a big seller like SAS/BHB/RCD even though some of these big breeders are very reputable from what I've heard. I just much prefer a breeder who I know has taken the time to check on the animal and from time to time have handled them. Maybe just a personal preference, but still an option to consider!
