Designer breeds in toys now????

[Argranade]

It's just a little statue dog I mean it's not going to kill anyone,

Build a Work shop toys are so cute, my cousin made her own santa bear for only $50.00, I want to make one of my own probably mumble lol, that little cross breed dog was realy not needed in there company tho .. why not just stick with a regulare dog?, I geuss they wanted somthing un-commen.

Ya I don't like it when they cross animals I think it's stupid (not the animals) but I don't get mad about it because there's nothing we can realy do about it, we can't fine the company because they cross breed there little teddy bears.

Guys listen, It's just a stuffed dog. Kids probably don't even know what a maltipoo is! If the mother was smart they would say no when the kid says "Mommy I want a maltipoo!" Kid doesn't even know what it is. So what if they want a mixed breed. Big whoop.

Is it okay for the Homies company (little 1 inch plastic people) to have 2 different guys holding up pit bulls that look like they are going to kill eachother then? I mean "they are just toys."
I am sorry but I disagree. It is advertising these designer breeds, along with many other area's of interest, and these things are only the start. Every company will start to use these different thing, and advertise things like dog fighting and designer breeds.

Well facts are people are going to keep crossing and breeding dogs no matter what.
So if you don't adopt a designer breed then someone else will, honestly I would adopt one because either way a dog at a shelter or from a breeder needs a loving home & it's not the poor pups fault it's a cross .. It's the humans.

My family wants a dog when we move, I saw this dalmation x german shepard in the adoption shelter and it had both my favourit breeds in one .. he was beautiful but I'm not going to be mad at the dog for being a cross, I would be mad at the owner and the person who put him in the pound.

It would be so much better if people would stop crossing animals, even tigers & lions where crossed, zebras and donkeys ect ... it's so stupid what humans are trying to come up with & as for that toy company I realy don't care about there teddy dog because chances are the kids won't even know what the fudge it is, I didnt even know it was a cross teddy dog.

I have no problems whatsoever with adopting a mutt or a crossbreed cause like you say its not the 'digdogs' fault....BUT..my problem is and will continue to be...
1.crossing these doggies on purpose just to cater to 'fashions whim',is wrong..
2.these then so called breeders charge stupid amounts for these fashion items just cause some body thinks its cool to have a 'cockerpoo'
I have to take issue with this because are those folks buying this 'digdog' out of desire to have a addition to their family who will be loved for years to come or just because they have seen these designer breeds advertised and think this is the way to go as opposed to going to a regular breeder or rescue home/society?(and for the record all our babies are rescue).
So turning these designer breeds into toys only highlights a way i wish the dog world wasnt going.

Look! You can even get all the stupid things a designer dog owner would buy. So you can act like a "real" ideot.

Argranade, that really isn't the point here. Sure, Back yard breeders and bad breeders(Such as designer dog ones) are being advertised through this new toy. Designer dogs are another way of saying overpriced mutt. There are "cockapoos" in shelters but they are reffered to as a Cockers spaniel/poodle mix. Having a "cutesy" name does not change what the dog is.

Having the knowledge to not buy a designer dog and not advertising them will eventually stop the process, or atleast decrease it. The people who breed these dogs care about nothing but wealth so when people stop buying these dogs they will stop making them. Now with a big industry like Build-a-bear Workshop advertising it, I don't see this happening anytime soon.

Someone HAS to buy one no matter what, yes I wish humans could stop buying those doo daa blah dogs but those dogs need a loving home designer or not, that's the problem ... when someone buys a designer dog they may have just done it to give the cute dog a home .. but then when other people see them with that dog they can think of the kind human as a stupid person for having that dog .. no not all people think like that but yes .. lots do!

If only the breeders would STOP breeding! there's enough dogs in the shelters.
