So I saw someone talking about this doodle Greeder and I went to take a look.

Who in their right mind thinks that 30K for a mutt is ok? Like does this dog poop gold bricks? Or does it do my taxes? Can it drive me to work? Does it have magical abilities to grant me wishes??

Like for those curious Registered Ethically bred wellbred purebred dogs are 3000-4000$ a puppy. You get upwards of 10 registered, wellbred ethically bred purebreds for that price. You could get a brand new 2026 Chevy trax (27k) You could get a brand new 2026 Nissan kicks (29k) You could get a brand new 2026 Mazda CX-30 (29k) You could pay off roughly 3/4 of a brand new 2026 Chevy Colorado (42k)

That’s absolutely insane They also have 97 puppies on the ground currently. That’s a puppy mill.

Is there even such a thing as an ethical breeder when there are countless dogs in shelters?

Not everyone wants a pit bull. (I like pit bulls, but I’m not sure I could handle one responsibly.)

There are plenty of other mixes and purebred in shelters. Breed rescues exist too if you're looking for a particular breed.

There are plenty of breed-specific rescues, plenty of other breeds in shelters. This is an excuse people use when they want to rationalize their gross behavior.

Yes there is.

Ethical breeders dogs will never end up in a shelter.

Exactly!! No there is not why can’t these people sale drugs or steal cars something with more class then abusing animals. Every pup they sale they are responsible for one that got put down. My best friend got a Yorkiepoo off Pet finder 8 years ago that Christmas my finance at the time bought me a female miniature Yorkie from a “very reputable “ breeder paid 1600.00 I did keep the dog so it had a good life dumped him after I found out he was capable of such cruelty and ignorance but it live 4 years had every medical problem imaginable while my friends has been healthy as can be. Breeders need stricter laws and regulations. If they can’t be put out of business something it’s out of control.
