"Labradoodle" Is Not A Dog Breed!
A note to the brainiacs of the world who think Buster the Schnoodle, Sam the Cockapoo, Buddy the Eskiewawa and Pugsley the Bug are "registered" dogs.
People, you are the guardians of very nice, very expensive mutts.
Gullible people with a little more disposable income than common sense will fork over big bucks to brokers in exchange for mixed-breed dogs....aka mutts. They are often conned into believing they are purchasing registered animals, when in truth, the Canadian Kennel Club only registers purebred dogs, and even the CKC doesn't recognize some breeds (Border Collies and Jack Russell [or Parson Russell] Terriers, for example).
Mutts are the best! They often have a wonderful combination of the most desirable traits of several breeds, they have fewer health problems than many purebreds, and they generally have sound temperaments. Shelters and Rescues are full of awesome mixed breed dogs available for adoption, but people continue to support an industry with no regulations, no scruples and no concern for animal welfare.
It's time to eradicate backyard breeders. They exist only to make profit and have little or no regard for their breeding stock and the miserable lives they lead. Pumping out huge numbers of puppies to sell to anyone with the required cash is the only interest they have. Quality of life, health, socialization, breed standards....none of these things matter to money-hungry brokers.
And I will continue to say, when introduced to Labradoodles, "Nice dog, my furkids are mutts, too."
