Designer dog breed magazine!!

[GreyhoundGirl]

And they give them stupid names that are attracting people that know NOTHING about caring for dogs. Just people that wanna look "cool"

What I hate most is cities are PUSHING it !!! Editorials are LOVING IT !!! When ever a photographer sees one of these *interesting dogs on the streets, they take pics of it on a walk . They write


Example :::

" May-Poo (just the sort of name one would have ) and her owner Don't-Poo, I. ( ) walking down 2nd street on a lovely saturday afternoon. May-Poo, a golden-doodle is almost 5 months old, her owner says she knew a GD would be the perfect dog for her. She says these are the best breed of dag out there, and she loves the golden retrever temperment with the poodle's shedding. She got May-Poo at Dumb-Dogs kennels were more GDs will be available at the end of this week. Dumb-Dog kennels is now selling their GD at half price ( only 9999 $ !!!!! ) So, if you want the best dog out there, check out Dumb-Dog kennels."

Actually, I made that up on the spot, it was very fun to write, got some of the acsess anger out of me. We should have a contest, see who can write the most horrible designer dog story.

Some dogs need clothes in the winter. My mom won't allow Sassy out of the house without her coat on in the winter, especially when she gets groomed and shaved down a bit. Her outfit is by no means "frilly" but it's sort of designer and I think she looks adorable in it. LOL, it has a little fake belt and rinestones. Don't greyhounds need jackets in the winter? They have very short fur. I also have some t-shirts for Sassy and I think they are cute but she doesn't wear them 24/7 and I really don't think they're nessicarly stupid.

About the designer dogs, they aren't very popular around here but it's sad that Petsmart, who supports the ASPCA and the Humane Society, actually sells that crap. They are supporting puppy mills and overpopulation. It saddens me people would actually buy such a waste of paper and ink.

What I really don't understand is WHY people are buying this Disigner dogs when they could get the same breed at a humane society!!!! I had a friend once who wouldn't go into a Shelter because she said it was nasty. Instead she went out and got a Disigner dog for $5,ooo. I just didn't understand it. Then about a week later she didn't "like" it anymore so she took it to the Shelter and dropped it off in the middle of the night!! I really wanted to hurt her!!!!!! What is the deal with some people thinking dogs or even cats for that matter are fashion accecories now! It makes me so mad

People like to outdo each other. They also like rare things. It's simple. It's human nature. You can not change it. Unfortunately, many people have decided to take advantage of these human weaknesses and create supposedly "rare mixes" and sell them for thousands of dollars. In American culture, price is often equivalent to quality. Therefore, high priced designer mixes are often bought as a status symbol. That's why designer mixes are so popular. Additionally, designer mixes like to play on human emotions - i.e. cuteness. All humans have a natural instinct to care for the young (meaning cute things). Scientifically, humans are attracted to small creatures with short noses, stubby arms and legs, and large heads. It is no surprise that designer mix puppies have become a hot commodity.

Not quite. Designer mixes have been popular for many years. The first time I heard of them was in 2001, but things have simply skyrocketed out of control. At that time, we'd only heard of Cockapoos, Pekeapoos, Labradoodles, and the occassional Goldendoodle/Schnoodle. It's a shame how drastically things have changed over the course of five years.
