[labradoodles] how do you deal with people who hate doodles?

[MyTMom8]

I'm coming up against it more and more and it's frustrating.  I'm on a general dog list and Labradoodles came up and no matter what I say about Doodles in general or Farley, my Australian Multi-Gen, there is a naysayer.  It really gets my goat.  The director of our local Humane Society wrote a really nasty article about doodles that was in both the regular paper and the HS newsletter.  A doodle came through the shelter and she was going on and on about how bad it is (ironically - she is the one who adopted it!).  Most of these people have had no or very limited contact with doodles anyway.  When my friend heard we were getting one she went on and on about how wild they are, her neighbor had one and it was just horrible.  When she met Farley she was amazed and said he was nothing like her neighbor's dog, who was an F1 from a backyard breeder with no knowledge of it's lineage or any health testing, etc.  Anyway, I just wish I had a really great comeback for people who feel they need to say nasty things and think they know more than I do about my dog.   ~Kelly~ __._,_.___ SPONSORED LINKS Labradoodle Dog breed gift Labradoodle dog Labradoodle dog breed Mixed breed dogs Your email settings: Individual Email|Traditional Change settings via the Web (Yahoo!
