[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a northern breed sled dog and can't tell any of the curly ones apart. I do see a lot of them where I live. It's a fad, OP: people believe they're hypoallergenic, see they're cute, and just want what everyone else has.[/quote]

We stumbled into a bernedoodle 15 years ago (RIP) for $200 on craigslist. At the time, I thought it was just a woopsie. Then I find out several years later that people are getting $2000 for these things.

It really was a great dog, though. And it was hypoallergenic and didn't shed.

I wouldn't give 4 figures for a dog, though, unless its job was saving the life of someone I loved.[/quote]

People do pay that much because they don't want to support backyard breeders like the one you gave money to.

Every single doodle breeder is, by definition, a backyard breeder. There is no breed standard to advance or protect because "doodle" isn't a breed. These dogs are bred for profit. Period. Some people might have nicer backyards, and might even somewhat care about the genetics they're crossing and the resultant quality in offspring, but every single person breeding doodles is a mutt-making backyard breeder.

Get one, if you want, but get off your high horse about how you paid for an upscale one. There's literally no difference.[/quote]
