And with mutts you are pulling away from inbreeding which is another issue among purebreds when a breeder is irresponsible. However, there is an inbreeding issue among some doodle “programs” too.

Right, but it you may at least some of the time, which is why I think many people like the cross.

Correct... but everything is a likelihood and there's steps you can take to maximize odds

Yes, purposeful breeding is accomplishing goals. But with the exception of the Labradoodle, which is nearing standards…

So the argument isn't "Stay away from doodles", but "make sure you do your research if you're getting a doodle"

One issue with purebreds is that there IS a standard or conformation that breeders are working towards

The bulldog thing is another soapbox I could step on. Definitely an example of purpose gone awry.

Generally yes (but not always guaranteed). There's steps you can take to maximize likelihood though
