Labradoodle & Goldendoodle Forum
I don't know if anyone has ever suggested this before but I'm just wondering since people aren't allowed to advertise puppies or breeders on the main forum, why are members allowed to come on here to advertise their adult doodles? It's particularly irritating when it's a new member who only joined for this purpose and will be gone as soon as they find someone to give their dog to.
I think there should be a group for "owner rehomes" so people looking to dump their dogs can go there to make all their silly excuses and the rest of us don't have to see it and be saddened by it. And people looking to adopt adult doodles can go there and sift through the 'advertisements". All of these posts about rehoming supposedly perfect dogs makes DK a very sad place to come to sometimes. I came here to see pictures of cute doodles to liven up my crazy day at work, and instead I see another completely ridiculous rehoming post that leaves me sad and angry. I'm starting to feel like coming to DK is like gambling with my happiness, one day all is good, the next day, sadness and frustration.
I really don't know how other members, particularly those who have been here a long time, have managed to deal with this for so long, but I'm asking nicely could we please find a way to stop all this rehomeing nonsense on the main forum and let's get DK back to being the happy place it was when I first joined. pretty please? :)

Lots of reasons I live in a private home : )
So the smaller the person the bigger the dog allotment...so I could get a Mastiff but Clark would be stuck with a cocker spaniel -- haha!
Funny! Many dog-friendly hotels and motels also have a weight limit for the pet. Usually about 30 lbs. I just don't understand the reasoning--small dogs make smaller messes? Shed less? Don't bark as loudly?
I think some of these weight limits are really a politically correct version of breed discrimination. There are not many Dobermans, Shepherds, Rottweilers, or other "scary" breeds under 50 lbs, and certainly not under 30.
Karen, that makes sense.
I didn't know this but Karen's explanation sounds right.
Karen's explanation sounds right. Also, I had a landlady tell me that she put the weight restriction in place because non-pet owning residents object less to small dogs. Meaning, they find the apartment more attractive if there are only small dogs allowed. They are probably less intimidated?
Um, let's hope not. LOL And F is right, weight limits are very common. Almost every "pets allowed" apartment I've looked into has had a weight limit of 25lbs
Little pets are less imposing I guess. So I guess it's like saying..yes you can have a pet as long as we barely notice the pet =)
Although I think little guys are often yippier. Although they poop less : )
Careful now!!
my in-laws have two yorkies. they bark at everything and poo/pee anywhere (if its not their own home)! My big fluff balls are 100000X better than those little yappers.
