RSPA: Fuhgeddabout Pit Bulls, Fear labradoodles

My friend Bob once wrote this tongue in cheek letter to the editor to the S-R (which they actually published and sparked a firestorm in the Labradoodle breeding world and with the S-R’s ombudsman) explaining how pitbulls were pikers and you gotta worry about those labradoodles.

New breed to make us jumpy

In response to the March 16 letter “Pit bulls given a bad rap,” the point made is beyond absurd, and I won’t argue it, as we all know the pit bull was bred for fighting in what is known as “The Pit,” and inner-city police officers have for years been required to learn the use of “The Jaws of Life” (normally a firefighter’s tool) to release bites from a pit bull’s “Jaws of Death.”

No, the real issue isn’t the devil we know; it’s the devil we don’t. That, of course, is the Labradoodle (a cross breed of Labradors and Poodles). This breed was originally developed in Australia to hunt and kill Kangaroos, which is does in a vicious manner.

Now imported here, under the guise of a lovable family pet, it’s only a matter of time until this hideous breed begins chasing and attacking children on pogo sticks, trampolines or jump ropes.

Please think very carefully before buying Labradoodles until we know much more about these “Dangerous Dogs from Down Under.”
