just like maltese_love posted, i am astonished to see petstores selling all these designer breeds. MORE designer breeds then purebreds.

there was: puggle, cockapoo, maltipoo, bichpoo, chipoo, more and more poos!! and a mini dachshund, jrt, and beagle.

its just SAD.

somebody on another pet board I belong to is beyond excited about getting her first Puggle in a couple days. says she understands its a mutt and knows shes paying more for this mutt than any of our purebred show qualitys ever came close to, but would rather pay for a mutt from a breeder than shelter. so she can "know who the parents are."

What does it matter if you know who the parents are? Thats sad...Shes going to pay a big load of money so she can know who the parents are and leave all the poor shelter dogs to die?! (sorry dont mean to offend or anything, thats just sad to me...)

All of this has been said 1 million times. We ALL KNOW ABOUT PET STORES.

ok!! i didn't know there was threads about this

[cyber-sibes]

Maybe only the name has changed, I believe "Designer dogs" used to be called "muts." If people want to pay that kind of money for a "designer dog", hope they don't mind shelling out for the vet bills for problems these puppy-mill bred pups may have. They should just go to their local Humane society and adopt a "designer dog" there!!!

exactly... there are acctually alot of designer dogs in shelters who need homes much more then any other dogs!! but there are some shelters now who are making those 'designer breeds' alot more expensive then there other dogs!!

Just last night, on our local news station, they had one of those "funny" segments by a reporter who finds unusal things. Yesterday was Designer Dogs. I was shocked at all the unusal combinations. The Labradoodle went for $3000! I found my own sweet, Designer Dog at the SPCA for $35! Haven't figured out what Logan is yet, but it sure is the best of about 3 different breeds.

There's sure been a lot of threads on this.

There's sure been a lot of threads on this.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. It would probably be a good idea to have a "Designer Dogs" thread topped at the top of the forum, so it's not flooded with these.
