The main arguments are:
1. They aren't "purebred". Well every breed at one point wasn't "purebred". Someone mixed two or more dogs, over and over again, until a type of dog was created and standardized.
2. Adopt Don't Shop. I get the idea that animal shelters are overflowing with dogs and many are killing for space. But most of the dogs in shelters are a.) not Doodles; and b.) are not purebred dogs. Breeders are not the problem. The problem is that municipal shelters are poorly managed and are not meeting the needs of the public. They have no business being in business. We all knew the economy was in trouble. How many reports do you need to know that? There are lots of things that could be done. Slamming Doodles isn't going to make a hill of beans difference.
3. They are crazy dogs. No, they aren't. Raise and train any dog correctly and a magical thing happens: they turn out well.
4. They are medical basket cases. No, they aren't.
Squeaky wheels always get the grease. For some reason, the anti-Doodle trolls have become visible critics. In the meantime, shelters need reforming. That would be a better cause to pursue.
Plan accordingly.
