Talk about awkward...

[Jessica, Loki and Moose]

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!

Haha! That's so weird!

Well i can see why she'd be impressed with Moose :) but why would you feel awkward?  I think I would have burst out laughing.  Pimping out my dog in Petco to an underage minor of unknown parentage?  Are you serious? Of course, if you had said that she would have been mad and that would be awkward :)

"Pimping out my dog in Petco to an underage minor of unknown parentage"...LOL!! Thanks for the laugh!!

[Jessica, Loki and Moose]

Lol I love this!

[Jessica, Loki and Moose]

Omg hahaha!

There was a guy on a Doodle Group on Facebook who wanted to breed his 5 year old female Doodle and wanted to know what breed of dog he should pick for the stud...Poodle or Retriever. When I answered, "if you don't know the answer, you shouldn't be breeding your dog," he told me I was ignorant and to get a life :) I think these people think breeding their dog is a quick way to make an easy buck. They really have no clue and are idiots. I wish there was a test you had to pass to get a dog. 

[Jessica, Loki and Moose]

Yeah and on a childish level I understand because when I was five I probably wanted to breed puppies because all I thing about was "I wanted more puppies and to give them to other people". But we are all adults now and I don't think some people think of it beyond the potential price tag on each puppy.

Shaking my head and wishing there was a delete button on some people. I hate to think what is in store for that poor puppy!

[Jessica, Loki and Moose]

I know! She was so cute, she was about the size of Loki's head lol but so cute!

[Leslie, Yogi & Maci Bear]

I've had people (strangers) wonder if we would breed Maci and Yogi. Just because you have a male and a female dog doesn't mean you should make puppies. Honestly I think that is how the general public looks at it.

[Jessica, Loki and Moose]

Oh my! haha that's funny but it probably is how people look at it!

[Lucy & AnnaBelle's Mom]

I think you should have just said Oh my gosh, then reached down and covered Moose's ears and said don't say things like that in front of my baby!  What's wrong with you.  Then turned around and walked away.  Leaving her thinking "WTF"
