Designer breeds are every where now! everytime i look in the paper, there are more designer breeds than pure(not that i would buy a dog from the paper, pure or otherwise) my MIL, against my wishes bought a cockapoo from the pet store 3 years ago, and it has had cataracts for 2 yrs now!!!! I told her it was nothing but a dog from a BYB but she wouldnt listen, now she has a half blind 3 yr old!! My dog Duke was a result of people trying to make a new designer breed! his parents were both AKC Registered, his mother was a Bloodhound, and his father was a Black Lab! They gave him to me, Because he got too big!!! DUH!! God, it gets me so angry!! I am very happy that in our area, we only have 1 petstore that sells puppies now! I wish there was none, but, 1 is better than the 10 we used to have!! Now we just need to take all the BYB's and have them Neutered!!( I am refering to the breeders, but yeah the dogs too!)
