Before anyone says anything, I already know all breeds originally started out as mixes and could have been called 'designer breeds' back then. However, I believe that was totally different as back then, people were creating breeds to serve a certain purpose (be it hunting, herding, whatever). Nowadays people are creating them just because they are cute and a "good way to make a ton of money". I don't think designer breeds can be compared to todays purebreds.
Agreed! I just dislike that they are trying to register these so called 'breeds'....
