I don't see ANY reason to breed dogs just for pets. Pick one of the 100s of breeds already exhisting, or go to the shelter. Just because this new "breed" is in the news doesn't mean it's any better than some other breed you didn't know about. I also hate the way they sell them on false truths. The recent crossing of pure breds was started by the Australian guide dog association to create a low shedding dog that was more loyal than intelegent, and they reported a 30% success rate, so low they quit.
