Glad to see that this thread is still going. It's not clear if "Puppy-Raiser" is referring to me, but I have never posted on any dog forums before this.

Even worse, imagine if animals bred themselves. The world would go absolutely mad!

DING DING DING! You are correct! Thanks Dan.

If I adopt one of these children, do I get to look down my nose at everyone who chooses to give birth to their own child?

The 143 million orphaned children in this world disagree with you. Again, do you go around telling your friends not to have children unless they are of premium pedigree and bred to further the race? The smugness in this forum is so thick, you could step in it.

I don't want to sound cold. I have been to the shelters, I have seen the dogs on death row. I understand the plight of pet population control. My problem is with the elitist logic of someone who will go to extraordinary lengths to breed an exceptional purebred dog for himself, but then tell me...

Again, if I could have found a young, healthy Goldendoodle that was raised well in a shelter, I would have bought it. Unfortunately (or fortunately), there are none that fit this description in the Los Angeles area shelters because mini Goldendoodles are very popular right now. Because of the...

Thanks Doberluv. I'm sure that this forum has seen the mutt debate 1,000 times already. You aren't going to convince me that only purebred dogs should be bred. This is America, land of the free (economy), home of the laws of supply and demand. I already said that it satisfies me that my choice...

Wow, Tucker. I'll summarize your argument with this "you can't breed unless it furthers the race". Does this theory apply to humans as well? I'm guessing you don't get invited to many baby showers.

Thank you, StunnedMonkey. I understand that now. I'm still waiting for some specific evidence to back up the "puppy mill" accusations that have been posted. We'll see. Lots of kneejerking on this site.

I'm sorry, I still don't understand the "unethical" part of the website. All I see here are baseless allegations from looking at a marketing website, and observations from some low resolution photos of other parents. Given your attitude about hybrids, I'm surprised that the "best of breed...

This article labels every hybrid breeder as a "puppy mill", no matter what the situation. Does that sound realistic to you?

I see. The opening paragraphs for 3 of the 6 studs are identical because they came from the same breeder. You seem to really be stretching to trash this hybrid breeder. I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Please note that it takes away from the potentially legitimate points that you made. Also...

Sorry, I just re-read your spay/neuter comment. Is there a problem with selling breeding rights?

I have no reason to doubt her, but since you seem to be the investigative type, can you tell me if you see any issues with Coda's parents in particular? This litter did come from Frazier who is her own pet (He was there when we picked him up), and Ariel the retriever, who she says belongs to her...
