The Latest Designer Dog

[Fran27]

I think you're missing the point. The my problem isn't with the dogs but with the breeders - mostly the reason/way the dogs are bred. That's what makes the whole difference in the world. Surely you can see the difference between someone breeding dogs for a purpose and someone breeding them for money by claiming lies?

There's no sitting on the fence here. And all mixed breeds (not hybrids) are definitely not bred for a clear reason - if it was the case, the breeding would stop if the reason wasn't met (as lots of oodles are absolutely not hypoallergenic). Yet you still see people selling oodles and claiming that they are hypoallergenic, so that doesn't really go with the 'making a hypoallergenic dog' excuse.

Its not the same becuase these mixes are bred for the program by the program and they are adopted out by the program. if they want to breed a dobe to a lab to make a good dog I don;t care because they jsut breed their best guide prospects as the main goal. Huge diffrence!

Can somebody/anybody with some common sense come and point out to these two that it is exactly the same thing it's just being bred for a slightly different reason than an "oodle" was.
It's somebody creating a mix trying to get a better breed out of it. Trust me whether or not they success there will be a group of people who fall in love with the mix and will keep it up.

Let me see. One is bred to be a better utility dog by people who don't make money out of them, and the others are bred by someone who, so far, has made $28.800. I think your notion of 'slighty different' is a bit odd.

Again, I'm fine with the reason labradoodles were originally bred for, but it was a failure, and as such they shouldn't be bred anymore (except australian ones as it seems those are mostly hyppoallergenic indeed, but that's more than just a poodle/lab cross). I would bet that if the labernese didn't work as a better blind dog, they would just stop breeding them, because those people are not after money obviously. But no, there's nothing wrong with the idea of breeding more hypoallergenic dogs.

That being said, I think you're missing the point. The problem is not why those breeds started being bred, but the way they are bred today. If some farmers decide to make their own mixes for farm dogs, I don't see a problem either... it's what works best for them. It's when people charge so much money for mixes on a base that isn't even true (that they are all hypoallergenic) that it bothers me. I just don't like the idea of people making money out of their dogs, whether they're purebreds or mutts.

So again, the problem is the breeders. Not the dogs, not the original idea, just the breeders.

Its like farm dogs being bred. A farmer takes these dogs and he breeds them for nothing other than work. It has nothing to do with doodles or a cute mix,it is all about the job they are to do. I have no isue with farmers doing this because just like with these service dogs they all serve a purpose and go to a good working home. Even the pups that don;t work out are on wait lists.

He believes the roodle is attractive to pet-owners because it combines the low-allergenic, non-moulting, non-smelling advantages of the poodle with the intelligence of the rottweiler.

This line got me..

Why the hell would you want to breed a poodle to a Rott to create a "smarter dog"??
Poodles are already the known smartest dog...

Its basically saying.. "I dont know why we bred these two breeds together.. i think its cause we were bored and couldn't think of anything else to breed with a Poodle.. We'd already tried all the others"

Wow really? I havn't heard of these mixes... I guess they really have tried EVERYTHING. That's sad.

 

[CanadianK9]

My definition of Roodles

Ugly & useless mix

 

[bubbatd]

Put 2 dogs together who aren't within the breeds and you get the wonderful mutts at the HMS !

 

[jamiechew]

speaking of crosses, my stepdaughter has a cross between a rottweiler and a border collie.. it looks like a rottweiler with a border collie head.

 

[moxiegrl]

Yeah that's strange...there are plenty of pb poodles and rotts...if it took the guy ten years to find 2 then maybe he shouldnt be breeding 'oodle pa noodle dogs.

[RetrieverLove]

There really isn't a purpose for breeding ANY designer dogs. There are purebred dogs that will do the trick just fine, plus all the dogs being killed in shelters every single day.

i heard sonmebody breeding mini saints but i am not sure if it is true. hopefully no other dogs fall victim.

I've heard of many "mini" breeders as well. So far I've heard tell of mini Boxers, mini Dalmations and mini Heelers (Australian Cattle Dogs) There's more but I can't think of them at the moment. There is a registered breed called Mini Australian Shepherd though.

 

[bubbatd]

With Labs being #1 and Goldens being close behind, when will the " minis " arrive !!!! Hope when it happens I'll be at the rainbow bridge !!

 

[Nobody's Fool]

Hmmm...... Have they tried "breeding" a "Boodle" (Boxer/Poodle) yet? Or how about a "Weimardoodle" (Weimaraner/Poodle)?? I can imagine that those aren't far behind. I mean, who wouldn't want to have a poodle with a shorter nose? (a hypo-allergenic, gassy, boxing dog who snorts!! )
Or how about a hypo-allergenic dog-of -all-trades? One that can be used for: hunting, tracking, retrieving, pointing, watchdogging, guarding, police work, search & rescue, and agility. (a Weimaraner can excel at all of those....)

(this was truly all sarcastic........)
