I completly agree, all these designer breeds are just mutts, when you look at it. My cousin her parents didn't like our dog to be in their house, I think it might have been their cats intial reaction. My dog was scared stiff from the cat. Now they have three dogs running through the house all barking mad when ever anybody visit except little Kiki, the toy yorkie. Now the owner of the yorkie is another cousin as well but I think she trains it and socializes it, she does a pretty good job. As for Thor, the puggle and Hershey, the chocolate lab they are both obnoxious and difficult. Hersheys over weight and spoiled to death. I think both of the bigger dogs need some training, it ridiculous I had my dog, Clifford trained (he was Chespeake bay/lab mix) we adopted him from a free to a good home since the lady was moving to and apartment that didn't allow pets. My dog never jumped, barked and did what you told him rather bark and jump at you. Thor is as big as a beagle even though they said he wouldn't get that big, I just rolled my eyes at that, can't make perdictions on mutts.
