The hate towards doddle owners.

[RedDeer]

The hate against doodles,
I keep reading about Doodle owners, in a negative way on here, I'm wondering why they is so much negativity around them.

For context I have a poodle cross, who gets treated like a dog, we have used trainers, she goes hiking with us, is groomed regular. Doesn't sleep in our bed, can be left alone for a few hours no problem, and not a fussy eater, just eats dry food.
I didn't pay 1000s for her, paid the same as a cross breed. She has no health issues etc.

Yes she does have traits of both breeds, she can be hyper, and prone to barking at times. But we are aware of her breeds, both working dogs.

So am I unusual in that my doddle is treated like a dog. Or is there an unfair reputation towards doodles and owners?

That’s not what happened though is it.

person a poses a question (great, what genetic tests/scores did your doodle have?)

person b does not answer the question but instead responds defensively- I am being interrogated, I don’t have to answer all your questions.

people point out that person b seems to think the question is a personal attack, but still hasn’t answered the question.

thing is, if they did answer the question it would go a long way to supporting their argument, and the posters with the other point of view would have to admit they were wrong.

but I suspect person a can’t answer the question without proving the other side’s point.

@BarkItOff I suggest you go back and read the exchange between yourself and twodogs.
Twodogs explained her reasons in a perfectly level headed way .
Your response was
You felt interrogated by one question?
Are you normally so sensitive?

It’s a smiley face?

I was trying to soften the point as people keep saying I’m being rude. 😁

exchange

barkitoff Brilliant can you tell me what health tests the parents had?

twodogs I can but I haven't any intention of doing so because I am not getting into it with a stranger on line. Nor am I going to ask you to justify your decisions and I'm sure you have no interest in whether or not they meet my standards.

barkitoff So I will assume that means the parents did not have ALL the health tests as I stated
Not sure why you are so secretive about health tests, again this seems to be a doodle owner trait.
The answer is generally because the owner knows deep down that they weren’t and prefers to hide this.

twodogsonacouch I have NOTHING to hide and resent the implication that I do.
I think the very valid points that have been raised by many on this thread would be much better received by everyone if the delivery was less adversarial and abrasive

barkitoff It wasn’t an argument. It was a question that you responded to defensively. Which said it all.

Beyond me why you judge twodogs remarks as defensive and that they are being sensitive .
It really isn't the case that if a poster doesn't engage with questions that they are ipso facto being secretive or hiding something .
They could prefer not to prolong the exchange or just not want to tell you .
That is allowed .
Clearly in your world view it has other connotations .

@LandSharksAnonymous emojis can be misleading and open to misinterpretation.
Thank you for explaining that you were trying to soften your remark to counter people's views of an adversarial and abrasive style of posting .
It didn't do the trick for me but good to know that you've taken the views on board and that you're trying to post in a different style .

The written word can be misleading and open to interpretation. I’ve found it best to keep your neck wound in, rather than jumping to conclusions.

we love ours she is a sweetheart
