So proud to be a DK'er

[Deanna & Desi & Cori]

Yesterday, someone (perhaps an "internet troll", perhaps a genuine person) posted a discussion about breeding her well-loved lab with a poodle so she could "have another one [lab]".  The irresponsible, careless nature of her actions clearly struck a chord with DK'ers around the world, as this kind of behavior is the antithesis of what Doodle Kisses represents.  I could literally feel everyone's hackles being raised - yet nearly all of your responses centered around one clear message: while acknowledging displeasure at the woman's actions, everyone's focus was primarily on the well-being of the puppies-to-be and their mother.  This could have been an opportunity to rage against the woman (if, indeed, this was not the work of an internet troll), sending her away to continue acting irresponsibly.  Rather, you all took the time to offer guidance and support!  DK'ers rock in my book!!!

I never hesitate to reccommend DK, as I feel the atmosphere here is so warm and supportive...no '"better than thou" attitudes..Just genuine concern and friendship.  Thanks for such a wonderful site!

well-said!!!! I love this community!!

Deanna, I thought the same thing yesterday, especially after Adina reached out to the breeders on this site and they started responding to help.

DITTO, DITTO, DITTO....I will say it again, I am so happy to have found this site.  Lots of great advice, great people and LOTS of laughs!  Thank you all

Yes Deanna as I was watching the thread and all of the advice and comment surrounding that whole discussion,  I had exactly the same thoughts as you.  All the wonderful genuine people here on DK are without doubt the best advert possible for "social media". I felt the same as everyone who posted, anger and frustration but above all else a desire to do the very best for the Mom and Pups to be.   I didn't join in as I was afraid that if this was a genuine person in need of help ( and I seriously doubt it now) that I would say/write the wrong thing and alienate her.

I have another idea, lets all have a virtual Christmas Party...I have no idea yet how it is going to work but with video conferencing and Skype there must be a way?

I love DK!
