the breeding of doodles is not ethical— point blank.

the argument that doodle breeding should/shouldn’t exist has been a fairly recent one only coming to light as of the early 2000s, with the American Kennel Club (AKC) officially blacklisting such a breed from existing on record— rightfully so

the breeding of doodles has been, and continues to be, ethically questionable and often shady in nature. the industry itself comes from a background of backyard breeding, puppy mills, and often incessant interbreeding. unsurprisingly, the harm that has been done to these dogs has not only exposed them to have numerous physical problems (progressive retinal atrophy, otitis media, epilepsy, etc..) but long histories of mental ones as well. the term “doodle mania” describing the often zoochosis level psychopathy doodles may experience later in life.

by continuing to buy and breed such dogs, investors are unknowingly contributing to a problem that results in their dogs living a life of pain and confusion, often cutting their lifespan short when compared to other mid-sized breeds.

while many individuals in defense of this ‘breed’ may argue that owning such a dog provides a family with a hypoallergenic solution to potential health issues, this statement completely disregards other breeds that are both hypoallergenic and ethically bred such as the poodle (pictured above). additionally, those looking for a dog of similar characteristics to doodles, have no excuse in not investing in ethically bred dogs of a similar physical standard (briard, old english sheepdog, golden retriever, lagotto romagnolo pictured above).

owning a specific dog breed should never be a trend, or some sort of statement. it requires knowledge and an understanding for all aspects of the animal one intends on buying. by looking for alternative breeds to buy instead of doodles, not only are you supporting ethically bred dogs, but potentially saving another from a life of turmoil.

This is the winner of the Gundog category at Crufts 2023. She’s a Lagotto Romagnolo (traditionally waterfowl retrievers but nowadays mostly used for truffle-hunting). She’s from Croatia and her name is Orca. Her handler described her as a ‘happy, happy, happy dog.’ Čestitke, Orca!

i mean also the reason why i didn't want the cavalier to win is that that's a breed with a LOT of work to do and that really wouldn't be helped by a popularity boost rn

but lagotto is a breed i really wish more people were aware of

The dog AU is amazing. I wanted to tell you about a dog breed that is really cool looking. Don’t know if you could use it for a hermit, but you should check out the Chesapeake Bay retrievers. They’re pretty cool

I have looked into them before! They're actually one of the breeds I was considering for Xb, since for him I'm looking for good swimmers! I did consider the Chesapeake (left) and the Curly-Coated Retriever (right)

But the thing is that my brain will see a Minecraft skin with a beard and go "the dog needs fuzz around the muzzle or it won't feel right" so I decided to look for something fluffier for him.. i feel like a fluffy dog in a hoodie will also look adorable dlfkjfh So for now I'm torn between the Lagotto Romagnolo (left) and the Spanish Water Dog (right)

I know Xb's life is a mystery, but does anyone know if he has any real connection with Spanish, or if he just likes to say the season name in the language in his intros for the funsies? Bc then my decision might get easier dlfkhj

Number 177, the Lagotto Romagnolo. 

This breed comes from Romagna in northeast Italien. 

Its first jobb was to retrive prey in water but it then became a truffle hunting dog.

hiii moth, could you please give me some more detail about anthro micky (i absolutely ADORE the colour scheme you went with it is so, so, so good!!!!) like what kinds of characteristics does he have, etc!!!

Yes!! He is a lot like regular Micky, just with some dog tendencies : ) tail wagging all the time, scratching behind his ear, etc. He likely plays up a lot of his canine qualities on the show considering how exaggerated and expressive he is when acting. Early on, around the same time he started straightening his hair </3, he would keep his fur cropped pretty short, since it was considered "in style" back then and more "neat" looking. As the later 60s came in he started to let his fur grow out a bit more "shaggy".
