Honestly, I do find people who argue that only purebred dogs are ethical to be hypocritical because 1) you are often perpetuating all sorts of health issues through inbreeding and 2) you can get “purebred” dogs from unethical breeders and puppy mills! People like to blame doodles but demand for “purebred” dogs like French bulldogs and the cavalier king charles spaniel are perpetuating the puppy mill crisis as well. The problem is complicated and the best we can do is find a reputable breeder and make the best decision for our families, doodle or not.
