To all those who have called my dog a "mutt"...

[Jessica, Loki and Moose]

Hey,

so my new neighbors have taken up to calling my doods "big mutts" and making comments about not understanding why anyone would spend money on a "mutt" and they just don't understand all the "hype with mixed breeds". So I played dumb and ignored it but got on Amazon and ordered this as our new door mat! (It's attached because I'm on my iPad sorry)! It just arrived a little bit ago and my neighbors have been rolling there eyes since I just put it out. I also got a magnet for my fridge just for kicks and giggles.

Cheers all!

Jess, and the "big mutts"

I guess we all have mongrel's!!! lol

1. A mongrel, mutt, or mixed-breed dog, is a dog that is not the result of breeding within an existing breed or to modify or create a breed and belongs to no breed.Wikipedia

Looks like Merriam-Webster got it wrong--not the first time.

I love mutts! I am a mutt! I reclaim the word....but understand that others don't like it and wouldn't call someone else's dog anything other than adorable.

Love the doormat. Mine is a little mutt and we were insulted at training class tonight. Someone actually made a comment that the yuppy goldendoodles are killing off the intelligent poodle breed. Also they got the worst of both breeds and they are all dumb as a box of rocks and most end up back at the breeders because they also destroy everything in their path. Annabelle's ears are still burning. I am just in shock. Why are people so against doodles? Sorry, I just had to vent.

[Jessica, Loki and Moose]

It's crazy to me that people say stuff like that out loud, I always think maybe they meant to think it not say it? I mean my favorite dogs do not have to be everyone's favorite dogs, but I'm polite even when talking about breeds that aren't my favorite.

[Amy and Annabelle]

Exactly. When I was in kindergarten my school friend was killed by a neighbor dog while she was walking home from school. I am not going to say to someone that has the same breed that a dog like theirs killed my school friend. I will still be polite and act like nothing ever happened. It is not my style to behave like that.

Well, technically they're crossbreeds... I'm pure breed (100% Italian) but my crossbreed dog is worth soooo much more than I paid for him!!! :-)

I would pay big bucks for any dog who becomes a part of my family. What they give back is more valuable. It's really no one's business what you paid for your dogs and I am shocked by your neighbor's bold rudeness. Your mat is perfect. I wonder if they'll ask how much you paid for it. It's priceless!

[Jessica, Loki and Moose]

Lol! Just lots of eye rolling and shaking their heads, I haven't heard a single word about my "over priced mutts" though ;)

[Nicky, Riley & Boris]

Good woman. I love the doormat. I call my two 'planned' mutts...sometimes it's easier than Labradoodle and Goldendoodle and all the questions that follow on...

[Ginny Nightingale]

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!! What is the problem with people that they have to judge all the time? I am sure they judge people too by some unfair standard of perfection--what the heck is wrong with people??? Luckily, my neighbors (one of whom has a doodle too!) think my dogs are gorgeous and sweet--no problems there! But I have had perfect strangers say exactly what your neighbors have said...and it is always shocking to hear...I tell them that my dog is a glorified mutt...

I love your sense of humor!    Your "Mutt" btw, is adorable!
