Ummm....labradoodles, goldendoodles, and woodles??? Enough right there to make me say NO WAY! No No No...I do not support anyone that breeds "designer dog" mixes

Ellie May · 03-06-2008, 05:03 AM

LOL..what's a Woodle?

Going to look at the site now...

They breed six breeds and that is just too many besides breeding designer dogs.

BamaFan121s · 03-06-2008, 05:21 AM

IMO, way too many breeds--and non-breeds (as in purposely cross bred dogs)

That site is kind of odd...there really is not much info or anything to look at.

Yeah I was thinking that too...there wasn't much info. No "about me" page or history of their breeding program. No info or pictures of sires and dams. Not much really except for a couple puppy and adult pics and a "contact me" page

I know everyone is going to jump ALLL over me for this one, but I'm entitled to my own opinion, so here goes.

I am against cross-breeding dogs for "designer" reasons. However, Labradoodles and Goldendoodles or what ever they're called, I am ok with. For one reason- it makes them non-allergenic (sp?) and people who want a big dog are able to have them. They are not bred that way for "designer" reasons (for the majority) but for people who are allergic and want a large dog. Like my boss, his wife is allergic to animals, and he has a disabled 5 year old daughter. He can't get a poodle because they will be too small, and his daughter could fall on it or what not. He was looking into a labradoodle because labs are GREAT with kids and disabled people and, the poodle in it would make it ok for his wife.

There is already breeds that are hypo allergenic
Poodles are not only a Toy Breed there are minature and standard poodles.

Myth. Some turn out to be non-allergenic, but it's a crap shoot as to which set of genes they are going to inherit. The poodle has a low allergen coat, but a lab does not...you can't be assured of what coat type will be passed on.

Why is there a need to "create" a non-allergenic dog when there are already numerous established non-allergenic breeds?

(And know that I completely understand your point/view and am NOT trying to jump you for it.

Just stating my thoughts as well. )

LuvnmyYorkie · 03-06-2008, 10:49 AM

I totally understand your points and respect them! And actually, what other kind of dogs are there that are hypo-allergenic and would be good for a disabled child? He tends to ask me for advice since I'm on here ALL the time, lol.

Miley's mom · 03-06-2008, 10:50 AM

How about the standars sz poodle isn't that like a a good size dog ??
I'm not very familiar with this breed but I believe they go up to the 30-40 pounds.......my opinion is that "there is never a good reason to buy a designer breed but it will be always an excuse"
and those excuses are always a good reason for people to keep breeding what they are not supposed to.

I know there are other poodles, but even the standard ones tend to be pretty hyper, and that is why he was looking into a labradoodle.

Thanks for the list! But I just want everyone to know, I personally, would never buy a "designer" dog, but I understand where my boss is coming from, and I can't say I disagree with him. Besides my Yorkie, Harley, my mom and I have Bella who is a poodle/chi mix. We adopted her, so its ok to love her, right? lol j/k

Bizzymammabee · 03-06-2008, 11:42 AM

Not into the designer dogs. Too many mixed dogs in the pound for me to pay and arm and a leg.

I personally dont' care for it because you never ever know what genes will be dominant.
