Ok, I haven't even gotten my puppy and already I can see that people are going to be pains in the butt out here about my choice to get a labradoodle.

Example 1. In the pet store and some male employee comes to ask if I need any help. I was looking at carriers to bring my pumpkin home on the airplane. I say, "Yes I am getting a puppy". He says. "What kind". I say. "A labradoodle". He laughs and walks away! Now did he forget that I needed help? Was what I said funny??

Example 2. I am on line in the fabric store. I can hear two women behind me talking. One says, "Mike is really mad at her for doing what she is doing with those dogs". I keep listening and it turns out that someone is breeding yorkipoos and this is apparently making this dude Mike mad. The one lady says, "Why would you take a dog with a beautiful coat like a yorkie and cross it with something like a poodle?! She was all down on poodles!

Example 3. This one comes from my own aunt who just wanted to know why the heck I would pay so much money for a mutt!

I guess I would like to know why people seem so upset about these designer breeds? Why do they feel like it is an issue for them? They just don't get it!

Hi Maureen,

I got my carriers. The sales person (different person of course) did give a chuckle this time as well but it was a kind chuckle and then he actually HELPED me!

My mother and I are getting puppies from Linda (4 Paws Puppies). I didn't even know that there were breeders out here. Mom and I fly out to Kansas City on Monday and not only get our pups but get to visit with Linda a while! I am so excited.

This board is full of such terrific people. I am so new to anything DOG. I haven't had a puppy since I was 7 years old and I have never myself owned a dog so this is so new to me. I am becoming a crazy doodle mom already and I don't even have my puppy! I am researching and shopping and I think I must look at the pictures I have of these pups about 50 times a day. I already love them!

I'm not going to let anyone's ignorance or negativity get me down! This is such a wonderful new journey I am about to embark on. I can't wait to hold my new baby!

Stacy
6 days to go!

Oh Julie, I KNOW! Everyone laughed at me too but now everyone who meets Coal says how cute and smart he is. My step daughter who is 22 saw Coal on Christmas for the first time and said, "Oh, he's so cute. I thought he would be much uglier and funky looking". Sheesh!! :roll:
