Absolutely love this 😀

THE DOG THEY WANTED US TO PUT DOWN IS THE ONLY REASON MY DAUGHTER SLEEPS THROUGH THE NIGHT

We rescued Tank six months after the divorce. He’d been labeled “unadoptable” at the shelter—too big, too strong, “intimidating presence.” But I saw the way he flinched when someone raised their voice. The way he sat down, gently, when my daughter, Leila, peeked at him through the kennel door.

He didn’t bark. He just waited.

I brought him home against everyone’s advice.

Leila was five and hadn’t slept through the night since her dad left. The nightmares, the bedwetting, the 3 a.m. sobbing fits—it broke me. Therapists tried. I tried. Nothing stuck.

Then one night, she crawled onto the couch where Tank had passed out, legs flopped over the cushions like a tired old bear. She tucked herself next to him and whispered, “Don’t worry, I’ve got nightmares too.”

He didn’t move.

But she stayed there the whole night.

After that, she called him her “dream bouncer.” Said when Tank was near, the bad dreams couldn’t get in.

It was working. Until someone in the building complained.

Said there was a dangerous dog in the complex. That her child was “terrified.” Management came by with a clipboard and a thinly veiled threat: Remove the animal or face consequences.

I looked at Tank—curled up with Leila, her fingers resting on his ear—and knew what I had to do.

But I also knew I wasn’t going down quietly.⬇️

So, Inanna is one of my my precious pooch girls. She doesn't "beg", she does this... If you can't tell her paw is on my foot, her chin is also rested on my foot and she is looking between me and my taco... I trained her to paw my foot when she needs something (primarily because she usually did it anyway and I thought it was cute). Anyway, I've created an adorable monster!

Question - Do you or any breeders you know still Embark (or other genetic test) your litters before placing?

Scenario - A breeder sells a puppy who ends up carrying for genetic health concerns that the purchaser would prefer not to include in their program. The purchaser reaches out to the breeder who is willing to take the puppy back but not refund any of the cost of said puppy. Does this seem like a reputable breeding practice and how would you proceed?

Let's talk... (this is a long one but, hopefully worth the time).
We do not breed doodles, it is a personal preference of ours. And, while we do breed merles with the understanding that the merle gene was presented into the breed fairly recently, we also understand that the term “purebred” is a misnomer. For a dog to be considered purebred it must have no other breeds introduced into it for a certain number of generations. While that number differs according to who you ask, at some point, merle poodles became purebred poodles.
Interestingly, those who take issue with merle in poodles because it’s “sneaky” also harbor resentment for doodles who are overtly mixes of established breeds. Before humans walked the Earth, there were no purebred dogs. All the breeds we know and love so much were created by breeding different canines with desired traits into one package. Without the innovative thinking it may have taken at the time, we may not have had purebred dogs now. Following that logic, aren’t doodle breeders doing what it took to give us poodles and all other breeds in the first place?
And true, there are some doodle breeders in it for the wrong reasons producing questionable lines with upsetting and unethical practices, but that is an unfortunate fact for any breed.
All of this to say we are not interested in your hate or derision. If breeders are using ethical breeding practices, taking care of their dogs, and producing quality progeny, leave them alone. There are other issues, both in and out of the world of breeding, that could use that scrutiny. Go find those.
And, as for why WE don’t breed doodles… we think poodles, as they exist, are perfect and see no need to personally tamper with that perfection 😊
Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

Do not confuse cost with quality. Obviously, breeders are entitled to charge whatever they like and people are free to pay whatever they want. However, please do not think that quality poodles from good breeders must cost thousands of dollars. Exercise due diligence when communicating with ANY breeder regardless of puppy pricing, but know that there are many breeders producing wonderful quality pooches who won't break the bank.
