Aspen Kennels - Should be called "Mixes R Us"

[Sweet72947]

This website: http://http://www.aspencypress.com/

belongs to somebody who is breeding doodle and other mixes up the wazoo. Her pups include "English Frosted Golden Doodles", "Doodleman Pinschers", "English Goldendoodles", and even "Minature Doodlemans". This sounds like somebody who's in it just for the money. Although they DO have a "2 year written health guarantee on hips and hereditary causes".

Some people you just want to smack across the head and ask them what the #&*^ do they think they are DOING???

 

[savethebulliedbreeds]

Ugh!!! I wish these stupid breeders would realize what they are doing to these breeds. What is going to happen to all these doodles when the fad passes? Most of them are going to end up homeless, in shelters, or euthanized. Its not fair!!!!!

Here's another one:

thts pefetic, but i must admit, those english goldendoodles are omg gorgeous!

 

[savethebulliedbreeds]

Hehe, they ARE all so cute, but purebreds are too.

 

[tempura tantrum]

I'm sorry, but an English Frosted Goldendoodle sounds like some kind of a cookie, not a dog.

Yummy- some kind of a British snickerdoodle with icing?

I've never thought the doodle-mixes were all that attractive, but some people just go crazy for them. In the end they just make me kind of sad, because they look like so many other mixed breeds that are languishing in shelters.

 

[RetrieverLove]

How sad. I agree, they sound like bloody cookies, not animals.

 

[Sheka]

They cookie ones are beautiful dogs tho, but there is no reason to "make" them. 1500$ for a doodleman.. wow. thats enough for like 500 shelter dogs

 

[SHORTY13TH]

and all it takes is a hand full of people to like a new mixed breeed and it becomes the new up and coming hybrid. its no different the the puggles (ha ha minnie mastiffs) they look like a beagle with a gianormous pug body. the worst of it all is people are paying thousands fo these dogs and people are making a fortune, so why should they stop mixing breeds?

 

[vanillasugar]

It probably doesn't take much to sway someone into doing this, simply because of how much money they'd make! Especially if they don't have strong feelings against it! It's so unfortunate that money is the bottom line, not the dogs

I mean honestly, a DOODLEMAN PINSCHER?!

 

[rottiegirl]

I think all the dogs on that site are butt ugly. If I wanted a non-shedding, fluffy, family dog... i would get a standard poodle.

 

[showpug]

I like how she uses a fawn and a blue doberman to create her "Doodleman Pins." Some people have no clue!

 

[LabBreeder]

There was an ad in "Dog World" magazine in the breeder section...a DVM has a Labrador/Bulldog/Labradoodle/Bullador kennel. His Labs have decent pedigrees and testing done. Why would you mix them with a bulldog (very ugly pups btw) when you can have a good enough Lab by itself. He breeds at least 2 purebreeds and 2 or 3 designers. Very, very sad.

Our family is blessed with a beautiful silver frosted goldendoodle from "Aspen Kennel". His wonderful temperament, his eagerness and ability to learn, his gorgeous sweet face, and beautiful coat (which very barely sheds), are just a few ways to describe our puppy. Included in the price, our puppy came with a medium wire crate, large grooming kit, shampoo and conditioner, collar, food samples, treats, toys, and more......... basically everything we needed for him. All puppies are guided in a program called the SuperDog program, a way of training small new puppies to aid in their ability to learn. You can look it up on their website or on the internet. In dealing with the breeders, we have talked at length many times, and have found them to be very knowledgeable, loving to their dogs/puppies, very supportive, very particular in knowing about who is purchasing their puppies, and overall after researching and talking to other breeders, very true, real dog lovers. People may knock the combo, but we feel we have the best of both. It is truely up to each dog owner what type of dog they prefer, as well as how much they choose to pay. Puppy mill type places are offering these dogs for 800$ with no guarantee or vet check. It is the responsibility of everyone looking for a dog to check out to their best ability, who they are purchasing their pet from. We are completely happy. People stop us almost everyday, and ask us about our puppy..........what type he is, and where we purchased him. Everyone as a right to their own opinion and preferences. We absolutely love our puppy!

 

[taratippy]

Oh and they are all such rare breeds! Um no theres plenty just like them in pounds over here and they are not a breed

It is true, many dogs of ALL TYPES AND BREEDS end up in shelters. People get tired of them, they are neglected, abused and for dog lovers, it is beyond apprehension.
As far as whether to haggle over "breed", or "rare breed" , I suppose it is an attention getter. It really doesn't matter to us if they are a "breed" or not. The color of our dogs is not the norm, and even that doesn't really matter. We happened to like the silver color, and the thick fluffy coat, the breeders, and the parents of our pup. We had three wonderful yellow labs over the years, and every one of them we loved dearly....they were the greatest dogs. The last was the absolute best. We went for a total change this time, wanted a large dog, one that shed less, a totally different color, not necessarily a curly standard poodle, one that friends who have allergies can come and visit without having to leave, one that we knew a bit about the backround and temperament because of our 15 mth. old grandaughter. So, you can make jabs at goldendoodles, the people who buy them, or the breeders, and the way they advertise, but that doesn't change anything except you voiced your opinion, which is your right.
Just for your info, those breeders take in and train dogs for shelters (so that they are more easily adopted), and find homes for lost or abandoned dogs (which they have driven a distance to their new homes). Whole litters of dogs have been bought, cared for, and found homes for, all on their own time, and expense. So, just to say it is easy to judge people you don't know.

Hopefully, aside from voicing our opinions regarding breeding ethics, we also are able to educate the general public as to what type of breeding practices to support.

 

[~Jessie~]

There was a survery somewhere on the internet that I saw a while back... it paired a shelter mix, with a breeder bred mix side by side... you had to choose which one came from a shelter. It was IMPOSSIBLE to tell the difference.

I can't stand breeders who breed mixed breeds. I love mixed breed dogs, but no one should purposely be breeding for them.

Ugh!

You totally work for them or represent them. Troll!!

hey hey hey, lets not get into a dogfight here. Bsan is merely trying to defend a breeder she likes. We have our ideas, she has hers, and her experiences.

i just looked and, if you look at the training stuff on both sites, its true and valid. Let each be their own.

It doesn't strike you as odd that this person's only two posts are in unequivocal support of Aspen Kennels?
