Chug anyone?

[emc]

Does anyone here have a chug (chihuahua/pug). If anyone has one can they post a photo of their pooch? I was wondering what they look like.

Designer breeds.

Before you post the mad, evil faces please get the facts straight first. You never know, this could of been a rescue or the like and not an intentional purchase. Or even if it was the later there is a chance that the owner is not aware of the all the bad things about puppy mills, back yard breeders & designer pups. Please research & educate others instead of being a little on the harsh side.

Ooookkkk...

I don't see how I was on the harsh side.

I'm not a breeder so I don't know anything about breeding but there seems to be this elitist attitude about only breeding pure breds. What's wrong with cross breeding (aka - designer dogs), they make as good as pets as any other dog. And just because someone decides to cross breed that doesn't automatically make them a puppy mill or irresponsible breeders. Anyway that's just my opinion.

Yes, it does make them irresponsible. They are breeding crosses and asking hundreds, even thousands for them while there are tons of crosses in shelters and rescues around the world waiting for a home and only costing $50-$175.

Im with you 110% on this one! How i look at it, if you purchase an animal from a breeder, or a shelter....either way, your saving a life! if you buy a dog from a breeder, you in turn are saving a dog from the possibility of getting sold to an irresponsible owner, then going to the pound! I aggree that people should adopt animals from the shelter, but then again if you adopt a dog from some place other than a shelter, your saving that dogs life from possibly going to the shelter in the long run! I hope that makes sense! if people want to cross breed, im sure there's people who will buy their cross-bred dog/animal! I dont aggree with the outrageous prices that these "designer breeds" go for, but at least there's people like us that will adopt one from a shelter or who will pay that amount for there animal to just go to a good home! Sorry if i offend anyone, but either way, we all love our dogs here, and im sure we all do our part to make sure there are loved and cared for just like the rest of us! buying a designer dog doesnt make them any less of a dog lover!

Hey PTers at the gathering. Didn't we have one there at the dog park? If I'm right this could be one that my daughter was holding.

This is Lucy. she's a Chi-pug. She is one of Star's favorite dogs at the dogpark. When Lucy's there. Star follows her all around! They were entertaining everyone there the other day - Star would very gently tap Lucy, then Lucy would come flying up at her, barking & Star would jump in the air to get away. Then she'd do it again- everyone there was in hysterics! -
Lucy really looks like both breeds, too. First time I saw her, she was less than 2 lbs., just a puppy. Now she's about 4lbs.
*edit* - yes, Tim, that's Lucy.

My dad has one. He didn't want her but he loves her now. She is the craziest dog ever!

You mean a mutt with a silly name?

Wow Giselle, that was extremely well written. I was trying to write something similar to that yesterday but my mind was not co-operating.
There are some parts of your thread that I never really thought through thoroughly before and some of my views have now slightly changed, for the better. I couldn't agree more with you.
Thank you!
