I do not think it is a cockachon...i have a cockachon and he doesnt look like your dog.....he has really long fluffy hair and longer ears than your dog

Designer Dogs
I got my cock-a-chon from a rescue centre. I didnt adopt him because he was a designer dog, I adopted him because he had the characteristics mixed with an adorable face...also because I was put off purebred dogs because of the health issues.
My friend took a shitzu x Westie....again not because it was designer. I dont think the issue here lies with people not knowing rescue dogs can be of these mixes, I think the issue lies with our awareness of rescue dogs. The scaremongers that put people off rescue dogs and the lack of after adoption support from some shelters. I paid £150 and travelled for a total of 8-9hrs to colelct him and bring him home. some breeders sell puppies, pure bred for a simlar price, some even deliver. We need more shelters, improved funding and services. Its hard work getting a rescue dog. Its a walk in the park to go buy a pup from any old breeder.
Im glad I got my rescue pooch. Hes a darling. Im merely pointing out some of the reasons why people wont go for rescue dogs. Almost every single one of my friends told me not to adopt a dog. All of them told me to get a puppy. We need to educate people and improve services.
Also....maybe the increased popularity of mixed breed/ designer dogs would make some of the homeless x breeds seem more appealing to people who previously only considered purebred?
