disapointing On animal planet right now on Dogs101 they are doing a show on designer dogs and the benefits of mixing these dogs. Check it out |
I guess the programming is diff here, we have a dog's life on. what are they saying about the benefits? and who is saying it? ie a DVM a geneticist? anyone with any degree of education? |
No it is vets telling the benefits. They have went into genetically engineering the dogs to be hypoallergentic or be a good swimmer or basically mixing two dogs to get the traits you desire. They also said since they are mixed they have vigor. Then they tell what celebrities have that type of mix. |
Hmmmm....want a hypoallergenic dog, good swimmer, with LOTS of vigor? Get a yorkie -- a purebred 100% yorkie! |

Or a Westie! In truth though, the likely hood of problems must be lower for mixed animals because the pet insurance companies charge less for mixed breeds. If they didn't have less (number or amount) of claims, they wouldn't charge less. So there must be something..... That said, my purposely bred "designer doggie" is my least healthy pup. |
LOL they just said the chorkie can be hard to housebreak thats the yorkie in them |
Well, I happen to love my "designer" dog. Some people, like myself, don't want a purebred Yorkie. I wanted a Shorkie and am part of this forum bc she's still a Yorkie and it's rather insulting that people on this forum rather frequently feel the need to bash on these adorable puppies. |
My best friend has a chi-weenie and she is the worst she has allergies and bad hips she sheds like crazy we have spent over $500 and antibotics alone this year really of all the dogs in my family my grandmothers sheltie is the healthiest my moms pug lost an eye her chi has to have nerve pills. Gatsby is anemic my best friends Maltese had LP,cataracts,arthritis and bad skin problems. |

I absolutely love and adore my Shorkie as well. I wouldn't trade her for anything but that doesn't mean that people should purposely mix dog breeds and charge lots of money by labeling it a "designer dog." |
Programming must be different - we have Cats 101. |

I love mixed breeds... you can find millions of them in shelters around the world every day. Why purposely breed them? Btw, I really dislike the whole Dogs 101 show anyways. They always have a bunch of their facts wrong. And half the stories they do don't even look like the breed of dog. The Papillon episode featured a dog that looked all Pomeranian to me, and the Silky Terrier looked like a Schnauzer. It's so odd... .you'd think when talking about a purebred, you'd want to show them how they are supposed to act/look. |
Amen to that! |
