Please Don't Call These Dogs Mutts...

Today on my yahoo homepage I saw that The Wall Street Journal posted an article yesterday about designer dog breeds.

In my opinion this is a bad article but I thought it would make for good discussion here.

LOL!  I'm sure you could photo shop that!!!  It would definitely be pretty funny!

Well, Allyson, I want Peri's head on Taquito's body!  hmm.... maybe not...

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

I would like Jackdoodle's head on Jason Momoa's body. Now, that would be worth some money!

[Kim]

I had to google him because I don't know who he is... that would be a site!!!  How about jackdoodles face, but with Jason's dreadlocks and body?  Nice!!!

[Jodi and Stella]

I had to google it too (glad I did-yummy!)

[Lindsey, Lee, Whopper and Simba]

I had to google him also...that would certainly be an attention grabber!

This article is horrible and look at those uneducated ignoramus comments at the end!! I think the whole world has gone nuts. The part about shipping puppies from "reputable breeders" and selling them in California made me sick! Who would buy one of those?? And all the comments about how you know exactly what the puppy will be like based on the parents' traits--what hogwash! This type of stuff sets us back in the eyes of people who don't know much beyond what they read in the papers. UGH! 

It has been said that all the online articles and websites like facebook have caused people to make snap decisions and become very self-important and opinionated, without much knowledge to base it on. Of course, WE never do that on DK! ;)

OK-I saw this on my way out the door also and wanted to say something but I was CERTAIN that before I got home someone would be as ticked as I was! People need to let things just be instead of judging everybody and everything-what a waste of time! They assume how much we paid for our doodles. I wouldn't trade them for anything and these people don't know what they are missing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't care what they say.I love my Labradoodle Jake and I never think twice about adding a designer dog to my family.He is everything I was looking for and more.Those people that had all thier comments need to keep thier thoughts to themselfs because thet clearly have no idea what they are talking about.
