Some people desire to own a particular type of mix breed. I like all dogs, but I prefer toy breeds. I especially like small dogs with fluffy hair. My shelter usually has Dachshunds, Chihuahua, Golden Retrieves, German Shepherd, Cockers, and Labs. Many people say why buy a poodle mix breed when you can adopt them from the animal shelter. I agree with that comment. I think before buying a poodle mix breed you should check the animal shelter first. However, in my area poodle mixes are very desirable. The poodle mixes are instantly adopted once they are available for adoption. I tried very hard to adopt a poodle mix breed at my animal shelter. I visited the animal shelter a lot where the people recognized me when I came to visit the animal shelter. They even took my name and number, so they could call me if a poodle mix came into the shelter. I even searched the animal shelter's database for adoptable dogs. When I found a poodle mix on the website, I visited the shelter, and the dog was already adopted. I got tired of feeling as if I was competing with everybody else to adopt a poodle mix dog. I decided that if I wanted a poodle mix breed that I would have to buy the dog from a breeder. Everybody experience at an animal shelter are different, because different breeds are popular in different areas. Some places there is a market for poodle mix dogs. At the time, I wanted a poodle mix dog, because I did not want to spend $1000+ on a dog. In my area, the poodle mix prices got outrageous, so I decided to adopt a purebred dog and that when I adopted Josh. I think before breeding mutts, a breeder should check to see if they are desirable in their area to ensure all the puppies get homes. Breeders should check to see if breeding two different breeds make a good mix. I am also proud of breeders who strive to breed dogs that meet the breed's standard. If I decided to breed, I would breed according to the breed's standard.
