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...    |
My personal oppinion is that there is no such thing as a "Designer pup or dog." All it is is a mutt that is given a fancy name and a high price tag. Although, I do hate the word mutt and would much prefer calling him or her a mixed up pup
With that said let me also say that I have a mixed up pup. She was given the fancy name of Morkie (maltese/yorkie) and priced up at $1800.00. And, some poor fool paid it and later decided she was not what they wanted and placed her for adoption in my local newspaper. This another good point with the "Designer pup." They don't always turn out look wise the way you hoped. You can see 10 of the same mix and yet not any grow up to look the same. Unfortuanltly this leaves so many in rescue or shelters. Which leads me to my speech. PLEASE if you must have that designer pup then PLEASE go through rescue rather then buy. So many are available through rescue. Elaine
