Ok so Broome may only be able to afford 9 of them... which will actually be 8 because he can't have an odd number.
I can understand and appreciate the sentiment of adopting vs paying a ton of money for a doodle but those talking smack about them because they're very popular can stfu. My goldendoodle is a great dog. He can certainly be mischievous but he is incredibly smart and obedient when he knows I'm serious. Btw they are not guaranteed to be non-shedding. Mine sheds like a motorcycle because he got the retriever genes but I think they are still pretty hypoallergenic because it's the dander that causes allergies.
The neighbor next door is on their second labradoodle. The first one got cancer after 10 years, and they now have a second who is about 4-5 years old. I don't know if its the breeder they use or what, but these two are the most yappy dogs I've ever experienced. They both bark. Constantly. Incessantly. They both wanted to play, but only with other dogs. They won't play fetch or any other typical dog-human games. Two doors over lived a wonderful golden lab. She would come over and bring her ball to play whenever I was in the back yard. She and her owner were away for work 3 years, then returned, and when the dog saw me she was so happy to see me again. That beautiful dog passed away about 5 years ago, and I still miss Peaches. I'll take a lab over a labradoodle any day. Just shampoo the dog weekly.
I've always had shepherd dominant mutts and can't convince myself to stray. The guy in my profile is from a rescued mother found emaciated and abandoned (and pregnant) and was the best dog I could have imagined. Had to put him down a couple years ago after a stroke and haven't been able (mentally) to replace him yet.
"Annoying as hell", "I've never seen one of those bastards walking", "the guy who invented them said it's the worst mistake of his life" all seem like talking shit to me man.
Spitfire would flip you off, he hates everyone except a very tiny list that is really tough to get on The Sheltie I lost loved catching frisbees so much he wore his back teeth down on them (had to switch to tennis balls)
Here. I’ll play. Annoying, I said it and yes maybe the dogs are a bit annoying at times because they’ve become the keto, CrossFit, dog of America if you can understand what I mean. Annoying is subjective like how big is big. So on to your next point. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2019/09/25/us/labradoodle-creator-regret.amp.html?0p19G=2103 Btw- I know someone that “trains “” these as “service dogs” . I’ve seen more dobermans and German shepherds get through the program. The program is for dogs to smell when the patients blood sugar levels drop too much, mainly for kids and sports and the dog sits on the sidelines. Will only react if they sense the sugar levels dropping too much and the coach will pull the kid. It’s remarkable to watch.
I just don't like generalizing things, dogs even more so. This is the same kind of thing that happens to Pitbulls albeit that often ends with a more extreme opinion of "they should be euthanized and made illegal" I can understand thinking it's dumb that some people get them because they're "cool" or "in". Thats a terrible reason to get a pet.
I'm gonna settle the dog talk right now. The two top dogs are a Brittany and a German Shepard. If a Doberman wasn't only a three-season dog it might make a third. The breeds cascade down the lower tiers from there. Suffice to say ankle biters are on the bottom. Bald ankle biters are the bottom.
