[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1) Because the rescue market has created some strange incentives, and it’s not as straightforward a transaction as it may seem.

BTW, I'm against buying any kind of doodles, they are mutts, so nothing is predictable about those dogs[/quote]

This also.  [b]Quite frankly, I don't like dogs very much and only got one so my kids' sake.[/b]  I wanted to know what I was getting temperament wise.  I didn't want to take a risk and end up having a dog I wanted to get rid of.  Everyone I know when a rescue dog ended up with a lab mix that turned into a pit mix.

If there's one thing worse than someone who buys from a breeder, it's someone who buys from a breeder when they don't even like dogs.  This is really sad.  I feel so sorry for your designer dog.

Pit mixes are the most lovable dog around, fyi.[/quote]
