Like I said, I really don't care one way or the other, and to me, mutt, mixed breed, designer dog, cross, specialty, blend, Morkie/Yorkteese, Labradoodle, however you want to put it...all mean basically the same thing...a non-pure bred dog. Doesn't mean it's bad, but you have to decribe them somehow, right? So what would be the non-offending, correct terminology?

I refer to Darla as a Borkie when people ask what she is, because that is what she is a Bichon/Yorkie. I understand how we can all call our dogs mutt in terms of endearment but the original poster wasnt using the term in that way I dont believe.
