Thanks so much everyone. =D
@Suki Wingy: I wish I would have thought to tell the kids he was a rescue, eventhough he was from an accidental litter from a breeder's... that got shut down for being a puppy mill a few years ago... :[ I wish I would have done more research(this was almost 8 years ago.. when I was nine), but I don't regret getting my Friskit Biscuit. :]
@Ginger's Mom: I, too, am guilty of automatically thinking most people I see with designer breeds have bought them from irresponsible breeders. It doesn't help that two casual acquaintances of mine breed designer mutts.

I love that little guy. It is so nice to start my day with some Frisk-man pictures. And a little story in reference to your mini-rant. Ginger and I were at the dog park last week and a lady came in with two young children and a Jack Russell/pug mix (Jug). I was talking to them and being polite, when another lady came in with a poodle/yorkshire terrier mix. I asked the second lady if she got her dog at the Puppy Barn, a local store known for selling designer breeds
. She said no she rescued him from a shelter. I made a big deal of telling her how wonderful that was. After talking for a while, the lady with the Jug indicated that she also rescued her dog from a shelter.
I must admit, when I see someone with a "Jug" or "Puggle" I automatically think that they bought it from the Puppy Barn or a backyard breeder.
