But, but the. There's also F1 Doodle, which is so an F1 Doodle is one that can run incredibly fast. Like as fast as a car that Brad Pitt would drive. No, F1 is like first generation. So if you took a poodle and a. Let's just go with yellow lab and you. And they had litter, those would be considered F1 doodles. Those are. Those, those are. That's kind of like that's the first generation of them. Now if you took a couple of. If you took those doodles, those puppies, and you bred them with other doodles and you weren't very careful with all this genetic testing and this, that and the other, you would then get a second generation that would be even less predictable about what their characteristics would be. In other words, what they're breeding for with the doodles is like, you want something that has hair and not fur. You want something that doesn't shed, but that has the intelligence of a poodle, but doesn't have some of the kind of high strung nature of a poodle, which is where the yellow lab comes in. We all remember Rudy, who didn't have one even iota of anxiety in her head because she doesn't have one iota of a brain cell. So you're trying to get what are considered the optimal characteristics, but there's just the. How actually imprecise it is is kind of crazy. So, like, these F1 doodles, they're kind of a crapshoot in a way because they're just. You're just actually legitimately crossing these two kinds of dogs. Whereas you get down the line and you get some of these, some of these, you know, breeders that get super scientific with it and they're genetic testing the dogs and they're. And then eventually you get sort of like the quote unquote perfect doodle. But then you go to these dog shows and you have the poodle people who have signs that they've put up that said just say no to doodles. They love standard poodles and they feel like the doodleification is a, is bastardizing, is diluting. And so they'll do this stuff where they'll grow their poodle's hair out so that it looks like a doodle. Because one of the things people like about certain doodles is they have maybe long kind of funny hair. Like a, like a, like a, yeah, like a golden doodle or like a, one of these ones that'll kind of have long hair. That's kind of fun. I almost look like a Muppet sometimes. So these people who have standard poodles will grow the poodle's fur out and they will literally be like, look, poodles can have funny hair too. Like you don't have to get a doodle if you're, if you're in this for some funny Muppet hair looking thing. May I introduce you to the standard poodle? Anyway, all of this, Andrew is, and again, I really do think that you, you and Vivs would get a kick out of this article. It's just kind of a check in on the state of the American dog kind of situation and something that I would have never thought of, which he's also ranking. John Seabrook is the hierarchy of people at the dog park. And the highest, the highest status people are people who have adopted a dog that's clearly got issues. So if your dog is, you know, the, like, the less, the less obviously desirable your dog might seem. You know, maybe it's a breed that some people are sketched out by or it's got three legs or whatever that you're the highest status at the dog park because you've done the most selfless thing. I'm putting a lot of this kind of in quotes. But then the lowest status people at the dog park are the doodle people.
