I met a Pugapoo at the dog park. PUG x POODLE!
I find any dog lovable and cute, in general... just because they're a dog... but this dog looked gross. D: Not aesthetically pleasing in any manner. It was an overweight, curly, unkempt Pug, basically. It almost looked like a bunch of random dog body parts pieced together, and it walked like it either had HD/ED or would have it very soon.
The owner was so proud. I assumed he was from a shelter but, no, pet store puppy. Why???
Mixed breeds are fantastic, of course. But when people are breeding unscrupulously, with the main intent being money, NOTHING good is going to come of it. If any of these DD "breeders" actually stepped up, incorperated more than TWO breeds, went anywhere beyond one or two generation, bred reputably, and bred for a reason, and actually got together a breed club to responsibly create a breed... I would encourage them. However, all the DD trend is doing is promoting random, irresponsible breeding; period.
