Thanks! They can't wait to meet you either! Looking forward to visiting your side of the coast!

I love their names!!!!!!!!

I have recently fallen for a coworker's "morkie". Quid. He is the CUTEST dog in the entire world. But, I don't agree with breeding cute mixes for the sole purpose of being a cute mix.

I would, however, probably go to a breeder that has a cute mix, does health testing, sells puppies on a s/n contract, only has a few dogs in the house, only breeds sparingly and the breeder is willing to take the dog back should anything happen.

Now that we know where I stand on the issue...I think your dogs are adorable, I just hope there won't be popcake/cuptart puppies in the future

Wow from someone who used to "rescue" dogs to now supporting byber's...what a wrong turn..

Clearly you like to poodle cut since you attempted to put your one in a continental cut so why not just get a poodle?

The reason why legit people breed mutts is for a better working dog.
Whats the purpose of these dogs besides being pets?
I dont care how much testing your breeder has done there is still not a standard to breed to, there is no way to prove any of the mutts are worthy of breeding.

I'm really sorry you feel this way. You are being very rude! Just because your opinion makes total sense to you, but not to me, doesn't make you right and me wrong.Haha
Nope, there is no breed standard as of yet, but whose to say I won't be the one to create this breed standard? Also, Who are you to poke fun at my grooming?

This is my LAST post here on PT. I've been here for many years! The vibe here has changed. I've been only nice to EVERYONE here and got to know a few of you personally. This WAS a great, fun, informative place. Now it is a non-regulated rescue only site, with VERY judgmental people. I no longer want to be associated with this forum.

Karen, Just an FYI, I'm not the ONLY long time member leaving because of what the forum has become. It's a shame.

No replies necessary. They won't be read.

I am not sure I completely understand all of the negativity here regarding these dogs. I realize there are a lot of dogs out there in shelters that need homes but seriously, this is a free country. If someone wants to buy a "designer dog", it is their business. Why is this such a bad thing?

I have thought about getting a Labradoodle at some point in my life when I can stay home more and spend more time with it. Am I going to be bad mouthed out of here if I do it?

[Karen]

I think, happylabs, that there are plenty of Labradoodles available in rescue, and as long as you are responsible in choosing your pet's source, no one will have a problem with it.

This is a rather old post, so why you even chose to respond now is beyond me. The fact that you even said "what's the purpose of these dogs besides being pets" is beyond ignorant, rude, and hypocritical. What purposes do your chinese crested serve now besides being a pet? I really don't get that one. I am against the breeding of mutts and all that, but when you're slamming someone who takes brilliant care of her dogs it bothers me. Frankly, she already has the animals, this post is old, and you didn't need to be so darn rude about it. There are alot nicer ways to express your opinion about something. Not to mention, when you're trying to educate someone or change their mind about something being nasty doesn't ever help. EVER.

Happylabs, it's the fact that people breed mutts for money that people have an issue with. There are plenty of mutts in shelters and rescues who need homes. Rather then spend $600 + on a mutt, it's a better option to adopt or rescue rather then add to the population.

Well, I won't be spending $600 on a dog anyway. I don't have that kind of money.

I was just saying $600, because I know that's what Mikey's old owner paid for him in the pet store, which is crazy to me. I doubt I'd spend that much on any dog, let alone a mutt, when you can get one for much less at a shelter Shelter dogs range from $150-$300 depending on where you go, how old they are, etc. Puppies are usually the most expensive. Good luck in your search though! Labradoodles are pretty common now-a-days so if you live in a urban setting you shouldn't have a problem finding a dog.
