Designer Mutts

hmmmmmm
You see....why are you feeling like these folks are getting ripped off? It's what they WANT. I wanted a Labradoodle. For a very good reason.
B E C A U S E he hardly sheds and he is VERY good with kids. I love Labs. I love Poodles. Now I have the best of both worlds.....and yes, I did try the local rescue and shelters. No luck. I waited long enough and did my research on the internet and learned about a Labradoodle breeder in Lancaster, PA.

I am now the proud owner of what I want. Worth every cent. I was not ripped off at all. I love him & he is everything I hoped for, and more.

yea, I do feel like they are getting ripped off a bit and poodles are like labs, thats why I would love a standard poodle one day.

I see how you feel but it opens up doors for more puppy mills and such. I think I have seen one too many episodes or daytime court tv (the cases with the doggies get me the most :bawl:)
ugh.

Here is my rant about dog breeds and the bastardizing of them. I am happy with a pure breed just as I am a mutt. A dog to me is a companion, a fellow excerciser and a protector.

Sunday at the Egg Hunt in L-town I came across a BEAUTIFUL Brindle Mastiff, 260lbs of love, jowls and :drool:. People were asking the owner to pet him he was more than happy oblige and to answer any questions about the breed.

In the group there was a couple with thier dogs, in front baby packs. At first they were joking, asking if Koojo (not the Mastiff's name mind you) was hungry. The Mastiff owner then asked the small dogs breed, the response was a Chug. A Chug. hmmmmm..... A cross between a Chuahua and Pug.

Ugh. No, your dog is a Mutt.

Its like a cutesy way of renaming a mistake and being able to charge $400.00 for it. "Oh, its a Chug, you never heard of it becuase they're so rare" This is why I will alwys rescue my dogs and cats.

............AAAAAAND END RANT

In the end you really can't taste a difference.

I have had pound dogs and mutts all my life and they all were fantastic dogs.......I wanted a yorkie and I did check out the shelters first with no luck, so I ended up buying two from a breeder. They are brother and sister and I had them both fixed. I love them no more or less than my mutts....

I also have two cats, one a give away and one was dumped and I have a ferret that was a give away.....

yes I am the neighborhood pet drop off location............LOL

I wonder if I can claim them as dependents.................:killingme
