Why don't people accept new doodles?

[Sam&Bella]

Hello!

 I was just reading some old posts about  Sheepadoodles and found that a lot of people  did not accept them when they first starting popping up. This got me thinking, What did people think about labradoodles when they first came out? What about  goldendooodles? Probably  nothing. They thought it was amazing that a a dog could be made into a non-shedding dog.  Now people don't like the idea of making more doodles.And now that  Sheepadoodles have been around for a few years, people aren't making a big deal about it. I understand that most people make a  puppy mill out of these new dogs, but not all the breeders are bad. Just do your research.  I am in touch  with a few of MANY reputable breeders that breed sheepadoodles and bernedoodles. They do testing before every litter. People want doodles for many reasons and many of them were probably bred on purpose.

1. Many doodles do not shed.(I know that doodles do shed sometimes)

2. They may live longer if the poodle is being bred with a dog that has a shorter lifespan.

3. They had the dog that the poodle is being bred with before, but didn't want to deal with the shedding again, or they like that dog but have allergies.

I hope that I did not offend anyone but I had to get this out there!. I was very confused on why people judge before they even know what they are judging!

PLEASE TELL ME IF THIS MAKES NO SENSE AND I WILL FIX IT!

 Thanks!!

I have been following this discussion and I want to thank you for your comments. Also, I read your blog post from 2012 and it was very helpful to me as well. I was overjoyed when I joined DK because of my purchase of Pippa. I love our little girl but I did get hurt when I saw all the bad things DKers were saying about Pet Stores. I admit today that I purchased our Pippa from a pet store and I am a little ashamed of it. I am glad I have stuck it out here at DK. I take it as a learning experience and I am going to take care of our life long member of the family. The people here are great and I visit daily to see all the latest topics. Thanks again!

Frank, If you read all the comments in that old blog post you will see many people talked about where they got their dog from. I am sure Fudge's breeder was not the best. I thought I did everything right, but I hadn't found DK yet and I really didn't. I always like the expression "when you know better, you do better!" I used to take my kids in the pet store at the mall all the time and was tempted every time.  I had no idea what it meant and now I do...just like you...and now I try to speak up when I can. Your Pippa is beautiful!!
