I was browsing on ebay and saw a cute Coach collar for sale...then I read the ad and was thoroughly disgusted with the person selling it:

This auction is for a Pink studded collar made by Coach. My wife bought this for her dog then got rid of the dog because we got a new house with wood floors and the dog kept scratching the floors. This collar is new and never worn since the dog never grew into it. So her loss is your gain. thanks for looking and good luck bidding. any questions please ask.
YUCK!!! I have hardwoods that are all scratched up from my lovely pooches...so what! I can't believe some of the reasons people rehome their dogs.
What is the worst reason/excuse you've heard for someone rehoming their dog?
Yes...well KC...dogs and other pets are not disposable. When you get a pet you are making a commitment to that animal for it's life. It is NEVER okay to rehome it because you've decide it doesn't suit your lifestyle anymore. You should have thought of that before you ever got a pet!
Cat: I absolutely wouldn't buy it...you are so right that it's tainted!
YES! Love! That's the one! Ick!!!
Yes you are all right that the dog is better off with a loving family, but for all we know they could have taken it to a shelter and it may have been euthanized.
My parents have brand new gorgeous wood floors and they are anti dog scratches...so when we go visit we bring little booties for our dogs. It doesn't hurt the dogs and it keeps the floor safe from their claws. If you have a hear there are other options than rehoming. That's all I'm saying!
I meant if you have a heart...oops spelling
I’m not talking about whether or not they make good pets (because I’m sure they do), but about your opinion of the phenomenon itself. About the practice of breeding two specific breeds together to “create” a new “breed,” and people actually accepting it as such. Traditionally, this is not how breeds were created. Different breeds were often bred together to develop new ones, yes, but it was usually many different breeds, and it was done over a number of years, carefully, to reach a new breed, usually for a specific purpose. Breed A and breed B were not just “stuck” together to get breed C. It seems to be getting more and more popular, and you even have people insisting that one day, Goldendoodles for example, will be “real” recognized breeds by the AKC, and similar organizations.
So what do you think? Are these “designer” breeds just mutts, or something more? Do you think this is a harmless practice, a beneficial practice, or just needlessly creating more mutts?
And, why is a Golden Retriever/Poodle mix a real breed to some people, but to the very same people, a Cocker Spaniel/Fox Terrier mix is just a mutt? Why is a Chihuahua/Pomeranian mix not a mutt, while a Lab/Afghan mix is? That seems like a blatant double standard to me.
Goldengal, I'm not sure who you might be thinking of, but I'm quite sure I have never asked this question before.
Wild and Free, a Goldendoodle is a Golden Retriever/Poodle mix, and a Labradoodle is a Lab/Poodle mix, as far as I’m aware.
Personally, I think they are not a good thing to be doing.
They are just mutts for one, and we don't need MORE dogs being bred and sold when there are so many already.
I know that for people that own them, they make wonderful pets!
I believe that it is okay if it is done respondsibly.
Hehe, I like your answer, Peggy!
So, Stacey, are you in fact saying, that all breeders should stop breeding their dogs for pets?
I'm pretty sure this is what a Christmas Acara is supposed to look like. The one I adopted is that, without the santa costume.
Ten Points to the person who explains how to make her look like a Christmas Acara!
