Youre an ignorant person. Not to mention a real ashhole.
Make money as a breeder?

Look, youve clearly.done no research.
1. Theres no such thing as a hypoallergenic dog
2. Hair and fur are the same- same chemical makeup
3. Look up double and single coated, dumbass.
4. Do you really think a labradoodle is a purebred dog? Its a mutt. A stupid looking mutt, also.
5. The rest of your article is bs garbage also. Just crap.
6. Please do life a favor and quit writing.

In my search for, “making money breeding dogs”, this article or… letter came up. It never ceases to amaze me about how people get led astray. A Labradoodle is a mutt. It is a so-called designer breed which has become popular in the last decade mixing a poodle with just about anything to help get the dander out and is considered allergy resistant for kids who have allergies. It is NOT even close to a purebred dog and if you really did your researh you would have known you were being robbed. My sister is a professional breeder. She is president and secretary of 2 of the breeds organizations whom she breeds, weimeraners. She has a Winnebago and travels the circuit devoting all of her time to dog shows and the better of the breed. She will now sell without a complete interview and checks references and yes… she probably charges over $2000 for her puppies. She trains, shows, gives shots and has made a living bettering the line and the one thing she cannot stand is… a mutt selling as a pedigree! You will never have a responsible purebred breeder breeding 2 different dogs nor will you have the top dogs of each breed cross breeding. My sister can verify the heritage of the blood lines and give guarantees on some inherited bad traits of that particular breed.
Having said that, I am sure your dog is a nice family dog and this is not meant to insult just to inform. My 2 hounds are rescues and I firmly believe in rescuing dogs personally since there are so many people who either use, neglect or simply don’t care about dogs in this world. Good luck to you and next time you get a dog do research first unless you have money to throw away and like someone elses comment said, “in THIS economy?!”

Yeah, I have to agree with the other commenters. I worked for a woman who bred dogs, a family business, with smiling children hugging dogs in pictures, a licensed veterinarian with her own SUPER classy facility… and behind closed doors, her dogs were stock, they lived at the facility, they were bred continually until they were retired and then given away/sold. They were nothing more than livestock to her, and her classy practice paid all the bills for the dogs’ upkeep, their feeding, their vaccinations, etc.

Do your research first, and properly this time.

Good grief people, telling someone not to breed dogs because there are so many out there needing to be adopted is like telling newlyweds not to birth a baby because there are so many kids waiting for adoption. Responsible breeders are good for the breed. I don’t adopt dogs because they have to be fixed before you get them. I also have friends who did adopt dogs and they were not good pets. Who wants a dog they know nothing about anyway.

Breeding is a horrible suggestion. If you truly love Animals you would not even consider breeding

Wow, I completely agree with everyone who mentioned about the immorality of many breeders. How can someone support breeding cross breed dogs, and if not, ANY kind of dogs? There are so many crossbreeds/mixes at your local animal shelter dying for a home, and yet there are those who continue to populate more dogs for a horrific price… Selfish, selfish people…

[...] may recall that a labradoodle puppy joined my family earlier this year. Adding a dog to our household has brought many changes. Some have cost us money. [...]

On my local news, they keep showing story after story about dogs and cats that are abandoned because of the foreclosure crisis. Surely it would be inhumane to bring more animals into the world (especially for mere money) when there are animals dying for a good home.

Here’s another thought I had:
I wonder how many dogs that are euthanized in the US come from backyard breeders?

If you want to breed a creature for profit, breed exotic fish. Yeah, the initial outlay can be more, but you don’t see too many “abandoned” Hawaiian Dragon Moray starving or dying by the side of the road.
(The reason I picked the Hawaiian Dragon Moray is because one is currently selling on ebay for $799.)
