My amazing companion is a SCOODLE; an unintended cross between a purebred Scottish terrier and a purebred apricot poodle. His name is Kahlua (like the coffee liquor) and I found him through Petfinder.com at a rescue shelter in Waco, TX

I think that a lot of people don't understand the difference between a dog BREED and a Designer Dog.
Yes, it is true that all dog breeds had to start somewhere. Let's take the German Shepherd as an example. When the breed was started, it was with a specific goal in mind - create a strong, agile, working herding dog. There were already many types of herding dogs in Germany at the time, and the breed's father, Max von Stephanitz, picked the dogs that most embodied what he wanted in his breed, drew up a standard, and set goals for his breeding. Out of this came the German Shepherd as we know it now. When a new breed is created, there are a couple of things that are essential: a clear goal for the breed, and a drawn up standard - the things people want for and in the breed. Breeders will breed for some characteristics, like specific colors, structure, and temperament. The other important thing about breeds is that they are not breeds until they breed true. That means, you can say that you will continue to produce the traits you want in your dogs with each litter. In the German Shepherd this is now ensured by breeding dogs that conform to the breed standard, and titling breeding dog - titling shows how their looks and structure measures up in conformation, and how their temperament and working ability measures up on the trial field. Most "designer dog" breeders don't actually want to create a breed that "breeds true", like it should. They simply take two purebred dogs, cross them, and sell the puppies under a "cute" name like Cockapoo or Maltipoo. Their breeding stock is not titled, so we don't know what health, structural, or genetic issues are found within. They have no goals for their dogs other than selling the puppies. Fact is, you have no guarantees with such a dog - health or temperament wise, because it's not possible to give one! And therein lies the difference. |

It never ceases to amaze me at the nutty postings! If you think your purebred dog came by virtue of just being a purebred dog...your wrong! All purebred dogs are basically refined mixed breed dogs! Get off of your high horse! There are more purebred dogs in shelters than there are mixed or designer dogs and the reason they are there is because their darned owners put them there! The breeders didn't put them there! If you have a problem with dogs being in shelters, stop your whining and go adopt them! Build yourself a huge kennel and go adopt every single dog in the shelters and pay out of your pocket to take care of them and perhaps the issues they may have. MOre purebred dogs have health problems than designer dogs because breeders inbreed the dogs so much, causing genetic defects. That's reality and a fact whether you like it or not.
No one is making money selling designer dogs! We breed Goldendoodles and we spend more money out of our own pocket than we ever take in. Your complaining about breeders of designer dogs living off of their dogs???? Your show breeders of your purebred dogs who are selling purebred dogs for upwards of $20,000 a piece, my friends, are the ones living off of their dogs! Sounds like you people are jealous! Envious! Ridiculous!

Or, instead of paying sucker prices, you could just go to your local rescue or shelter and adopt the same mongrel you've been sold as fashionable.

It is important to keep in mind that every single one of the breeds listed above is NOT a purebred. Disturbingly, somehow the breeders of these poor dogs are handing out "registry papers" or advertising their litters in the paper as registered. THESE DOGS ARE NOT PUREBREDS. The registries some breeders use to get around this are known for intentionally registering mixed breed dogs. They are all about the money, as the large majority of breeders of these dogs are.
This fad is a detriment to the overpopulation problem in this nation. People are rushing out to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars (I have seen yorkie/rottie crosses sold for 10K!!!!) on these puppies from "breeders" when they can get the same mix of dog at any shelter for so much less. So many will be euthanized because of the ignorance and greed of some people. The only reason for breeding any dog is to better an established breed, ever. Anything else does nothing but sentence thousands more puppies and adult dogs to death all over the country. |
