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!!!

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.

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.

That is sad. But i'm surprised that petstores sell kittens and puppies. It's pretty unusual to have that where i live, kittens and puppies mostly come from breeders. I think that's why there aren't a lot of designer dog breeds here. I still disagree with them though
