puppies and dogs are alot of work, and it's not all fun and games. and when people that think that get dogs and puppies, the animals are the ones who suffer for it.

Exactly!! They most likely end up at the shelter.

You know, its just as bad the pet stores sell purebreds. If the puppy mills stopped selling designer breeds they'd just produce more purebreds to fill the gap.

Yeah, I agree. Any breed -- designer or not -- shouldn't be in a petstore.

A lady came to me for some work. I was making a joke about not "charging" for the fur.....MAXIMUS just has fur EVERYWHERE. The woman continues to tell me she just bought a golden "doodle??" She said they are not supposed to shed. I wanted to stick her with a pin. But you know, a job. Shoulda stuck her anyway. Make her bleed. Never in my sewing career, have I ever stuck a person before....ever. I shoulda though.

the sad thing is that ALOT of people are NOT AT ALL educated about dog breeds and aren't in to it so they don't know that buying a 'doodle' dog or any other designer breed is bad.

This stuff makes me soooooooooooo mad!!
There is a little pet store by my house, (a really dirty, cobwebbish store) it also reeks in there. And yep, you guessed it! They sell puppies. They sell sooo many designer dog breeds there, I don't even go in there to look at the puppies anymore, it makes me so darn upset. Luckily, they are going out of business! I'm soo happy! Hopfully another pet store goes there, and they keep it a lot cleaner, and know better then to sell puppies.
