so, I work for an orthodontist.. this morning a patient and her dad came in.. we started somehow getting into a conversation about dogs, and how I always find lost dogs and rescue them and things like that.. so me and the father started talking and it turns out they have 4 dogs, so of course I asked what kinds (lab/golden mix.. toy Chihuahua and 2 lab/boxer mixes) I asked all sorts of questions, names, ages, asked to see pics.. and they were all cuties!! I said wow 4 dogs I can barely deal with 1 when he was a puppy and I told him I have a goldendoodle.. I got no response.. then I showed him a picture..and showed him a picture or 2...no response..not hes cute or anything.. I thought it was weird because we were just chatting so much about his dogs and all that.. then I asked him where he got his 2 lab/boxer mix twins..and he said he adopted them and that he doesn't believe in buying dogs.. and this and that.. I felt kinda bad I must say..i mean then I realized why he didn't even respond when I said I had a goldendoodle or when I showed him a picture.. I guess he felt I got a "designer dog".. I got a goldendoodle because I have allergies and asthma..very bad in fact.. and I had a toy mini and standard poodle and wanted to try a different breed.. I heard so much about doodles and how they are great dogs and honestly, they are the cutest!!! I love midas to death..i just hate when people kind of look down on me for getting a mixed breed or "designer dog" when that's not at all why I got a doodle.. I could tell this man was judging me once he heard the type of dog I had.. I thought that was kind of mean.. it was obvious in my office that he stopped talking once I mentioned my dog and his breed.. and no response at all to my picture?? ok even if u didn't think he was cute at least say something like "wow hes big" lol I don't know I just felt awkward and uncomfortable and I felt like I had to explain myself as to why I chose a doodle and didn't adopt. I am all for adopting that's wonderful! and if I knew about doodles for adoption I probably would have, but It didn't end up that was and I have the love of my life Midas! anyways rant over.. lol

Oh brother--how rude! i am a big believer in rescue and support the humane societies and shelters in my area, but I don't think rescue is for everyone and I am sad when others look down on people if they don't rescue a pup instead of buying one-all of my dogs have been bought (for lots of reasons I won't go into) but I have nothing but respect and gratitude for the people out there who have given shelter dogs a good home--unfortunately, some of those people choose to believe that anyone who buys a dog is a bad person--and that just isn't fair. Don't let it bother you--they are in the wrong....

I almost paid $1500 for a German Shepherd from a backyard breeder. I backed out because i felt uneasy about the breeder and quite honestly the dogs were not good lines of gsd. We've owned 3 in the past. My point is...why is it anyones business or why would anyone care if you spend your own $ on a dog and if it is a mixed breed or not. Our good friends paid over $2,500 for a "Pudlepointer" which is also a mixed breed of an english pointer and a poodle. They are bred for hunting. Some people are just that way and nothing you can do about it. People have paid good money for dogs for centuries. Who cares if they are "mixed". Sheesh!
