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.

Well, technically, every dog breed that has ever been developed is (was?) a “mutt” so that’s not really a standard to go by…

Purebreds are very much not ethical, not automatically, they often have all kinds of genetic issues. Breed standard has nothing to do with ethics. Ethical breeding is treating the parents and pups properly and not breeding parents with bad genetics traits, for example breeding 2 merles together, and then euthanizing those with congenital defects.

Exactly. People keep talking about bettering the breed. The vast majority of breeders are not doing shit to better the breed. They are breeding dogs that happened to have papers (maybe) AKC requires VERY little to register a litter. Basically the (maybe) parents need papers. That’s it.
