[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Apparently no one is allowed to post any opinions against buying from a breeder on the labradoodle thread, so I'm starting a new thread here. I'm seriously interested in hearing how anyone can [b]justify[/b] buying a designer dog when so many beautiful dogs are available for adoption in shelters. How do you sleep at night? [/quote] I don't need to justify it.[/quote] +1 Though my husband has dog allergies and it's near impossible to find a hypoallergenic breed at a shelter. We wanted to know the dog's background, meet parents, and raise it as a puppy. We also wanted certain characteristics. Our puppy has been VERY well-socialized right from the start. I would say that 90% of the rescue dogs in our neighborhood have issues and can't even meet other dogs while on the leash. Many have some issues that owners haven't been able to solve by their breed mix (some pit) or the way they were treated prior.[/quote]
