Talk about awkward...

Ok so I had both the boys with me at Petco today stocking up on toys and we met the cutest multigen goldendoodle- or so the owner thinks (she seemed confused when I asked her what the parents were, should have been my first clue this would be not normal). Anyways, she was truly adorable and her owner was nice and asked me about my boys and everything seemed like a typical "pet store interaction".

Then out of left field she told her her puppy was 6months old so she should be going into heat soon and she was planning on breeding her and oh by the way can she and Moose (6months) be bred together because she thinks she's wants to breed Golden Mountian Doodles. I haven't heard of these but apparently this is a Bernedoodle (Bernese Mountian dog x poodle, which is what Loki and Moose are) crossed with a GD. I must have looked shocked and maybe even angry, I've never been good at hiding facial expressions, because she tired again in a more gentle way and when I finally found my voice I just said Moose was already fixed and she should really look into breeding more seriously because it isn't a fun hobby, it's a job with responsibilities.

There are so many issues with this situation and I don't even know where to begin but my first thought was "WT*! I'm not "pimping out" my baby!!!"

Sorry for the vent but I figured there would be someone on here who would either get a laugh out of this or had a similar story or would be pissed off or would just roll their eyes and shake their head. I was all of those which made for a super awkward check out.

Thanks all!

Hahaha! I should have! Why don't I think of these things at the moment when it would be great to use them!

It sounded like you handled it well and let her know it's a job with responsibilities. Perfect. Not that she probably had a clue what you meant, but it was good to mention.   I don't know how I'd respond. I can say while reading this my first instinct was "Hell No, you can't breed her with my dog!!" but who knows.  You did great though.

"Golden Mountain Doodles" are being bred by a bernedoodle breeder in Canada. That may be where she heard of the idea. Stuff like that interaction makes me rather aggravated- I don't know that I could have held my tongue on that one!

Lol I searched golden Mountian doodles and found that breeders site after this and they are cute little buggers.
