[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you don’t want a pit bull mix, go to a breeder [/quote]
We recently adopted a super sweet lab/aussie shepherd mix from a Petsmart.  My co-workers both have designer doodles the same age and our rescue has a much, much better temperament.  I'm so glad we didn't go the breeder route.  She's the perfect mix of kind and smart.  My co-workers' doodles are a combo of anxious, neurotic and destructive. [/quote]t

Doodles are beloved of people who think there's an effortless form of dog ownership. You just need to find the right breed! And then they're shocked to learn that all dogs need training, exercise, grooming, socialization, etc. [/quote]

Oh come on, generalize much?  This drives me crazy.  I am asthmatic, grew up with a doodle mix that was the result of an accidental backyard love connection, and rescued two doodle mixes years ago.  When our last one passed away (at age 15), I looked for 6 months for a rescue doodle that didn't shed and I wouldn't have an allergic reaction to who was younger than 10 years old and didn't have major health issues.  After a while, I gave up and put a deposit down with a reputable breeder and waited for six months or so for our girl.  I continued to look at rescues (pre-covid) and had no luck.  However, we lucked out with our girl -- she is super chill, fun, and was the easiest dog I've ever had to train.  [/quote]
