And I am sure they will be cute and cuddly and loved. And as you said, unplanned--something that is going to happen in some cases.
2 things that concern me about 'designer dogs' (bred on purpose) are:
What if they ARE just a fad? What happens to the thousands of dogs and the generation created to appease a passing fad. A generation of dogs that were created for a buyers market and came about overnight to compete with established breeds that have been protected for countless years.
Also, what 'standard' is being achieved. You have a set standard for two breeds, but what is the standard for their offspring. Their isn't one. Who's to say the result you've achieved have been positive or negative?
Just general random thoughts...
