A big thank you and congratulations to the Golden Retriever Club of America for their response to a disgruntled “doodle” breeder who took exception to their position on crossbreeding golden retrievers and poodles.

One can only hope… I have shared the doodle breeder’s letter and GRCA’s response on my Facebook page. It’s priceless!
