What do people in general think about "DESIGNER PUPPIES" ??? I know there are ol' time breeders who hate it and some that like crossing the breeds, but was wondering what in general do people really think....??? I have heard some view points on this and have my own thoughts, but is it really that bad of a thing to do...?
thanks for your input...and remember be kind and civil...    |
While mine may not be the accepted responce... all dogs are designer breeds. We as humans put dogs together to get them to do the job we wanted right from the start. dogs where not in breed classes in the beginning they were only one kind.
We did our human think and took the good herding ones and made herd dogs and good hunting ones and made hunt dogs.
and so one to little lap dogs.
Yorkies have been down sized from bigger dogs they were at 13 or more pounds to the undersized dogs they are not.
There are the newer breeds like the Black Russians and the biewers....
Althought BRTS come from a mix of dogs taken to a breed with much work by the russain people and Biewers from one breed it still playing with the gene pools.
What I do not like about designer breeds is the puppy miller end of it.
That there are people out making money saying this mutts a doodle doo or a shiz poop or what ever are papered and show able. THAT IS WRONG.
Plus no mixed breed should cost anywhere near a pure breed and show dog.
They are mutts....
