Puppy Mill Greeting Card?????!!!!!

[Ricki and Tara (doodle)]

I saw this today while visiting an on-line card company. This is the front of a card for Labradoodles...

 

I know what my reaction was...what's yours???

 

 

[Suzann, Rosey & Bandit]

WTD???? I am at a loss for words! I think you need to send them an email, if you don't I will send me a message Ricki with the URL!

[Clifford, Cloud, Jake..and Kim]

I saw this the other day too and was appalled. I don't remember where I saw it though.

thats Gross

[Allyson, Peri & Taquito]

What kind of company? Is it a rude joke against doodles? I really don't get it - WTD?

Okay, here is the URL for this card:

As you can see it is presented just like any other greeting card. The company makes cards, stationary and that type of thing. I don't think they see anything WRONG with this card. I AM going to send an email to them about it and I encourage anyone else who is willing to do so also! These people need educated!!

This is the page that has all the labradoodle greeting cards on it and it is just presented along with the rest of them:

I'm confused. Is it a jab against the designer dog market?

[Ricki and Tara (doodle)]

I don't think so. I think that someone is really ignorant about the reality of what the term "puppy mill" actually means. Notice on the card that hearts (love?) are going into the puppy mill and out comes a labradoodle apparently because they are "love"??? The puppy doesn't look very happy though, to me...

[F, Calla & Luca]

I agree, I think they did not mean puppy mill as we would. Just a really poor choice of terms is my guess.

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

I agree also; I think they are using the term "puppy mill" in place of "puppy factory". I wonder if the designer is British. In Great Britain, a puppy mill is called a "puppy farm", and the word "mill" may just connote a factory.

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

I knew it was that company, because my sister just got me a pillow with the same Doodle on it and it says "Have a Merry Doodle Christmas." I love my pillow, but I HATE these cards. I look at their Labradoodle stuff all the time and I have never seen these cards. I will send an email too.

[Leslie and Halas]

Here's the description they have for the card.

"The truth about puppy mills is finally revealed in this humorous cartoon featuring a mixed breed puppy. Featured on great gifts for dog lovers!"

I don't think anything claiming to reveal the truth about puppy mills should have hearts and flowers in it. Even if it is trying to be humorous. I clicked on the Made By link on that page, and it pulls up a lot of other items. Based on those items, the creators don't seem anti-doodle. But the cartoon doesn't look especially anti-puppy mill either.

[Ricki and Tara (doodle)]

My opinion is the terms "puppy mill" and "humorous" should never be used in the same sentence! :(

What "truth" is being revealed anyhow???
