[labradoodles] new group

[Cynthia Hoskison]

Paula and the rest - I'm sorry you misunderstood.  I think maybe they need to justify to THEMSELVES that they spent A LOT of money to get their Labradoodles from these breeders.  They obviously feel that those breeders offer something the others don't.  They wanted their doodles to originate from Austrailia.  And if they want to create a group for themselves, then it should not hurt feelings.  I'm sorry I felt it necessary to stick up for those who wanted to join the new group.   I breed Labradoodles and have had many run-ins with AKC breeders regarding my breeding of "mutts".  I feel I need to be in closet with the Labradoodle issue.  My son can't even join the local dog fanciers association because he can't sign an oath saying he will only breed/represent recognized breeds.  So, although we may all love our Labradoodles and think they are the greatest thing since sliced bread, until they are recognized by AKC, then they will continued to be a "non-breed" or as Karen said not a "true" breed, in the eyes of many.  I myself consider them the "best breed"!   Cynthia   Yahoo!
