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?

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.

It is actually Lab/Poodle. I don't like all the cutesy names for dogs that are a mixed breed. Especially Schnoodle bothers me! There are a ton of Lab/Poodle mixes in rescue, so do not buy one. And actually it does bother me people go out and buy a mixed breed from a known Backyard Breeder (BYB) or pet store when they can find them in a shelter. And this is coming from a shelter worker. In my area, we don't see a lot of Lab/Poodle mixes, but they are more popular in the south I do think and I am not in the south. Standard Poodles aren't common here but Labs so are.
