I just hate the stupid names they make up for them. It's dumbing it down for people so that they know what they're getting. Ugh. I mean, if they're really trying to come up with a new, long lasting breed with future hopes that it will be recognized, why not just come up with a completely new name? Anyway...it's a cycle that will always always be moving...unfortunately.
Thats what I thought too, but at the local shelter I volunteer at they often have little conferences about different subjects. I went to one a couple months ago where they had vets, trainers & breeders speak about designer breeds. I can't remember all the technical things that explained why but apparently they ALL said that a labradoodle can NEVER be breed, not even after thousands & thousands of years. I'll have to ask my trainer next Sat, as he was one of the speakers... see if he knows/remembers exactly why.
