But if you go on petfinder you will see many cross bred dogs up for adoption. Makes me wonder why. |
I think the reason why you find them on petfinder is, that they can take on either the good or the bad of each breed it is crossed with. That is also the case with purebreds, who their parents are etc.... However, a good breeder, with breeding quality dogs....would never sell to a person who was going to "cross" the breed. Therefore, you get two poorly bred purebreds crossing and calling them "designer" dogs.
