Oooooohhhhhh, that's so pathetic.

Why, oh why, would anyone intentionally do that? Oh, never mind ... for the money.

But why, oh why, would anyone pay thousands of dollars for that? Seriously ... I have never understood that.

You can get a mixed breed dog at a shelter for $50. Make up a trendy, designer name for it if that's what floats your boat, and tell all your friends it's a "Rare, smooth-coated Australian golden border labrasnorkapooie". Whatever.

But don't buy a mixed breed dog from some backyard breeder who is intentionally bringing more mixed breed dogs into a world where tens of thousands of dogs already die every day. Please. Please adopt. Then call it whatever cutesy designer name you want.
