Bad Company’s was founded in 1997, by my parents John
and Bonita Henry. We are situated on six acres in the quiet
small town of Delta, PA, located in the south eastern area of
Pennsylvania. We are bordered by pine trees and a beautiful
creek, which the dogs enjoy swimming in. They also enjoy
watching the array of wildlife that passes through. We are not
a Commercial Kennel but a private couple who have
dedicated their lives to helping others find the enjoyment and
companionship that can come from sharing your lives with
a dog.
The puppies are raised in our home, where we can give them
the most love and attention. Our life revolves around the care
and needs of our dogs/puppies. They are given a lot of care, love and attention. We work closely with our veterinarians, to ensure the health and well being of our dogs. The females are retired at age five and placed into forever loving homes. We want our girls to live out a fun, wonderful life with a great family that loves them. All of the care & most of the grooming is done myself but, I have started to send a few to a groomer in 2008. I feel the only way to truly know the temperament of your breeding dogs, is to spend countless hours interacting with them. My vets & groomer always comment on how well behaved our dogs are.
We have been involved in the world of dogs since 1976. The experience and insight we have gained over the years combined with the use of testing guides us in making sound decisions to insure that our puppies will be wonderful companions to share your days with. In 1997 my parents started to lay the ground work to breed their first Labradoodle litter. With the arrival of that first Labradoodle litter there was no turning back as the hybrid vigor was plainly visible in those puppies.
After 30 years of grooming and taking care of puppies Mom’s wrists and knees are tired. Not to mention that my parents have not taken vacations as Mom will not turn over the care of her dogs to just anyone. In 2004 I started working for my Mom and in the spring of 2007 John and Bonita made the tough decision to retire and they moved to Myrtle Beach, S.C. and love it there. Bonita does miss taking care of all the puppies. At this time, my parents turned the breeding program over to my husband (Jason) & myself, their daughter. Mom is always just a phone call away to pass on her advice & knowledge. They also come up a few times a year and give me a hand.
As a toddler I was dodging the tails of the Mastiffs we had at that time, at three I was winning prizes with a full grown mastiff at local competitions, at eight I was spending Saturdays at a large dressage based horse farm.
During and after graduating school, I worked on several horse farms from hunter, dressage, breeding and a fox hunting farm, As well as, a large local crop farm (Metzler & Wissler Farms). I graduated from the United States Pony Club and earned my “B” rating. During High School, I was also very active in FFA. FFA taught me leadership and business skills. My work in Dressage has taught me patience and a deep knowledge of care and training that has served me well in understanding and caring for breeding dogs and puppies. My work on the crop farm has taught me how to be a hard, dedicated and handy worker. Jason has a strong background in construction and the outdoors. He is in charge of all the maintenance work around here.
I want to wish you good luck in finding that special new addition to your family. If you choose a Bad Companys Labradoodle, I will do my best to place the right puppy into your family. I am a very honest, caring person. I tell you the honest truth, not just a sales speech to sell you a puppy. My puppies and breeding program sell themselves, I am far from a salesmen!!! Whether you choose a puppy from me or choose one somewhere else, remember this is a lifetime commitment. Please be a responsible owner and give your new addition all the time and love they deserve.
