***labradoodle pup for sale***

[cook]

I appreciate your apologies taketz. I just want what is best for this dog and I feel that people's posts on here are only making it harder for me to re-home her. It's as if people are trying to make it seem like we aren't telling the truth and debating every comment that was made.

All I want is for this pup to find a loving forever home where she can get the attention and love she is worthy of. I am sorry if I came off as misleading in some of my remarks. I have nothing to hide, I just want what's best like I said.

And for the record....this is my husban's account and I hope I have not ruined his reputation on here as this is the first time I have ever even been on the site!

Bluecarpet, trying my best not to sound mean or demeaning to you or any of the other people who have purchased any of the poodle mixes, but if everyone truly realized that any poodle mix was simply a glorified mutt, then why would they be sold for the same price as purebreds and why would those buying or selling them truly care if they came from 'champion blood lines'. The fact is, many people don't understand this and I was simply trying to make sure there were no discrepancies here.

Cook, I'm sorry if it came out as if I were implying you were being deceitful, I truly wasn't. Like I said before, these are great dogs and for what its worth, knowing the parents of the dogs is very useful as the chance you will be surprised with a health issue down the line is much, much less.

They are unique and can carry traits that you want them to carry like being shedless and smart or something of that nature, yes its sad that breeders munipulate the great characteristics and get rid of the ones not needed but its being done and people pay a premium like myself. I have no problem spending more money on something that is customized for my needs and wants and still get a healthy pup out of it. You pay for what you want and thats all that can be said.

And this is coming from a person who has pure bred dogs as well. I am a dog lover and i can justify the amount of money people pay for these crosses for the simple fact that they are unique and one of a kind.

I can not believe what this thread turned into. Im appalled.

I know how it is taking care of a kiddo, fish, and a house while the hubby is away. My hubby, Brannon, is out of town 5 days a week, so I know exactly how you guys feel. Training a puppy on top of it all must be so overwhelming. Those dogs have such a neat personality and demeanor, and she would make a great addition to any family. I wish you the best of luck finding that sweet little girl at home.

I think you should honestly look into finding a good rescue to find a home for your puppy. They will be able to do what you can't when it comes to home checks, and the proper evaluations to determine that the dog's next home will be a FOREVER home.

Here is a poodle rescue in the area located in Melbourne. My fiancee's parents just adopted a disabled poodle from there, and they are a great organization.

I'm not trying to start anything with this, just give you the proper resources so that your pet will be in one loving lifetime home. I will keep my opinions on labradoodles and your situation out of here.

 

[cook]

Thank you.

 

[skinnyjoe1976]

cook just sell to someone that you know will take good care of the dog. you might want to cut your loses and lower the price due to people having a huge heart but short on cash. i think that's what sent people in a fuss. i was trying to find a good home for my bird and the moderators pulled the thread saying it was not fish related as freed had stated before. if you would concentrate on finding him a good home and then worry about the money the dog would be better off. good luck on finding him a good home before the mod's yank the thread. ps try www.reefers.org they might let you post since you are local

 

[racerw]

cook why not contact the breeder you got the puppy from??
Most breeders will take a puppy back if the person who bought the dog has a change of heart.
I hope you the best in finding a new home soon!!!! Sure is a cutie

 

[cook]

We have contacted the breeder and she is unwilling to work with us at all.

Sorry to hear that Cook... If I didn't already have two dogs I'd give you a shout.
I'm one of those people who found out the hard way about pet allergies. I knew I was allergic to cats since I was very young.
But I never had any problem with my moms poodles. (other than the fact that they were Poodles)
When I finally could afford too - I spent a small fortune on a English Bulldog puppy with a pedigree a mile long.

After 3 trips to the ER with what they thought was asthma, my doctor finally figured out it was our dog.
He pretty much summed it up when he said get rid of the dog or die.......

Sadly, I sold my little Buffy to a single mom who couldn't pay any where near what she cost - But I knew that my baby would be taken care of.

And that was what was most important to me.

Now we have a Miniature Schnauzer and a Peekapoo. Both dogs are hypo-allergenic and do not bother me at all.
In fact my mutt loves to watch our big Naso swim back and forth...
(something fish related to keep the mods happy)


I know what you are going through, and wish you the best of luck finding a good home for your puppy.

My mom owns a labradoodle. They are such sweet dogs...they will for the most part be a smaller dog which many people like. They don't shed and have the friendly personality of a lab instead of the sometimes very mean streak of poodles. These dogs are really the best of both worlds. And this is coming from someone who hates poodles.

This is like trying to argue what coral is the best...it's absolutely impossible because it comes down to what people's own personal taste is. Personally, I like ferrets. Some people like snakes...some only like albino reptiles. Because someone pays 100, 1000, heck sometimes 5000 for a certain animal doesn't give anyone the right to call it stupid...if you don't like it, don't buy it. That doesn't mean you should ruin his FS thread...

Just my $.02 Good luck with your sale.

Why are so many here so critical? It amazes me. Never an 'atta boy', a 'way to go' or a kind word. My hope is that those so quick to judge never find themselves in a similar situation.
Cook, have you considered in home professional dog training? We recently bought a pup who was quite a handful due to the bold nature of an Akita. We had Canine Magic come to our home and he helped us to make our pup a good family member. It is'nt cheap, but I felt it was worth every penny seeing the results. You don't have to pay all at once. I hope all works out for you or you find her a great home.

Only one person that I've seen post on this thread was really critical. The other posts have been geared towards making sure all of the information presented was accurately portrayed, so that anyone who might decide to offer this puppy a home did so with full disclosure of the information about the puppy's background.

The fact is that while some people may have the "common sense" to realize that labradoodle is a mix of two other breeds, other people will not. I work in the companion animal field. I know there are plenty of people out there who might've misunderstood.

And while I don't know the breeder of this dog, ethical breeders tend to take an active interest in helping to find a new home for the pups they produce if it happens that the family can't continue to care for the dog. This is especially true when the dog is less than 4 months old.

I've offered to assist cook's wife in training their dog, or recommended a training center at which they can attend group classes, should they decide to try to keep the puppy.

Outside of all other discussions. Please consider this experience with these people.

Ethical breeders, will take dogs that they bred back.

When you are looking for a dog in the future, take that into account.

I wanted to clarify what I meant with this paragraph - I was in a hurry heading to work.


The reason I wanted to mention ethical breeders in the context of this post is that I have a feeling that the OP was to some extent misled by the breeder, and merely passing on the information provided to them by the breeder. When a dog breeder has "champion" bloodlines, to the general public, they take on a position of authority in some ways. When a person doesn't have a lot of experience in the industry, it's easy to be dazzled or misinterpret the meaning of the information being provided. (And for those who might not realize, it's a legal requirement in FL that the breeder provide a health certificate documenting the pup's vaccinations and health status. It has no bearing on whether the dog's breeder is ethical.)

This is in no way a judgement against the OP. But, if they were in any way misled by the person from which they got their puppy, it would be remiss to allow them to in turn (knowingly or not) pass on misinformation to someone else in the attempt to re-home the dog.

And as for comments previously made in the post along the lines of "good luck finding the dog a home after the way this thread went" well, the truth is that if someone has an interest in acquiring a labradoodle puppy, knowing full well that it is a mixed breed dog, then reading this thread should in no way disabuse them of an interest in this puppy!

To my mind, the only way someone who might've been willing to provide this dog a home, and then decide otherwise is:

1) They didn't realize the truth of the labradoodle "breed", thought they would be getting a registered/recognized breed and then realized that wasn't the case

or

2) Were so vain that after reading the thread, they somehow judged the puppy unworthy of having a good home because it is a mixed breed.

In either case, I think it's better that the puppy not be sent to this kind of home. The pup needs to go to someone who is aware of the characteristics and behavioral predispositions of both breeds, with full disclosure as to the pup's background.

People can choose to look at this thread in one of two ways - in a positive light as a learning experience, or in a negative light in assuming that people are just being judgemental.

Regards,
Heather

Not to sound rude or anything, but it is common sense to everyone that if something is called two different names in one name that it is a mixture of the two. I could understand if the title said labradore for sale people might get a little confused, but it says labradoodle, hence a mixture of a labradore and a poodle. If a 4 year old boy could figure this out, my nephew by the way, a grown person should have no problem knowing that it is a mixture of two breeds.

And who asked for opinions to begin with, he was asking where to find a good home for his pup, nothing more. Clarifications & opinions were'nt necessary. It seems that all threads go this way on this forum lately, hence my previous comment.

 

[BlueCorn]

This is done.
