The result of this breed comes from the blue merle Highland Collies from Scotland, Dingo-blue merle Collie Crosses, the Dalmatiian, & lastly the Black & Tan Kelpie. This dog was bred up for herding cattle. Here are the two ads in our Sunday paper. Golden Doodles OFA, beautiful, vet & family raised $600. The other ad Labadoodles, yellow, $100, vet work done. Now a Veterinary sounds like he/she is responsible for this. Shouldn't they know better?
Yes, the AKC only recognises the really popular breeds. I think the breeding of new breeds was fine when there weren't many breeds, but now that we esentially have 400+ breeding true, we should stop, don't you think?
