The way I feel about it is, I HATE it. I think that to lable a mutt as a "designer dog" is very misleading. It seems to be nothing but feeding a fad and a way for "breeders" to pull a profit without having to worry about the pups being judged as quality because there is no standard, no guidelines to judge them to. I don't see alot of cons and basically no pros to the practice. I think it's a big gamble and for what? I don't understand what the goal of doing it is and am against any form of breeding "just because" you can. I think that for those wanting this type of dog, adopting one from a shelter is a better option.
