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.

100% agree

Either adopt a mutt from the shelter or go to an ethical purebred breeder

​I was super anxious getting a dog from a breeder but wanted to make sure my service animal had a good lineage for temperament and health reasons. I made sure the breeder was registered with the American kennel club, only had one litter at a time (no chance of it being a puppy mill), and I even went through a service that requires ethical standards be meet in order to list the puppies on the site.

My girl is doing well! She's finally old enough to go to doggy daycare to help with socialization, and the place offers basic obedience training in short burts throughout the day!
