Those new designer dog breeds

I am just wondering what you can call when mixing Bulldog with Shih Tzu? Isn't that nice BullShihtz?

I dont know but I would like there to be a deagle dauschund beagle mix, or derrier a dauchund terrier mix like my little boy dog. He is really super cute but could use alittl work on his temperament. There are alot of cute dog possibilites out there if you use your imagination.

I think its a fancy way of saying a mixed breed. If they give the dog a fancy name like that, then they can charge more. I think they do that sometimes, so it makes people think they breed the dogs on purpose like that. I think its a cover up for some ooopps when dogs get together when you are not wanting them too. I think all puppies are cute and most dogs are good looking, even the funny looking ones.

Only one I can think of that you didn't mention is the Puggle, Pug/Beagle. I never knew putting a beagle and a basset together, you get a bagel. I have seen a bagel, wondering around my neighborhood, he's really cute and cocky. A dalmation got a hold of my Beagle, so her pups would have been called deagles, , or Balmations. I think it's just a fancy name for mix breeding. Some cases, these mix breeds are good for people that like dogs but are allergic to them. The Puggles are cute, I got to see one at the pet store.

I think that these are all kind of silly, though some of them come out cute. What ever happened to the good old-fashioned term, mut, LOL.

I had a cockapoo once. She was adorable! I also had a border collie/English setter mix... would he be a Borter? I think it's a new way of getting more money for the mixed breed dogs. Give anything a fancy name and you can charge more for it! People do pay for these things!!! Personally, to me a cross-breed is still a cross-breed! I didn't pay for my cockapoo, she was given to me. My border collie/English setter mix was free as well! (Of course, there is no fancy name for that mix!) They used to be called "mutts". I think they are the best kind of dog to have! I've owned several mutts in my life, and they were usually the easiest to care for and to train. Well, my cockapoo was retarded. LOL She couldn't learn anything! But my border collie/English setter was VERY intelligent and extremely healthy until he got older. Yep, they're cute, but I still think it's a new way to make more money.

What I understand, from someone who has a golden labradoodle is that with this breed you get the laid back temperament of a lab, and then the hair of a poodle, which I guess is less allergy producing. It is a cute mixed breed.

Most people around here just have mixed breeds. The mom is pure breed and the neighbors dog is the daddy. LOL I personally have an Eskimo Spitz and he is such a great dog and companion

It's just a way to make a mutt and charge a high fee for them. It's a dog, it's not a purse, or a pair of shoes. There's no "DESIGNER" about them. (and beagle/basset hound mixes have been popular for a long time) I have 2 mutts. Nothing designer about them, and I got them at a shelter. So I got 2 dogs off the streets, without supporting an asinine breeding market.

Although these designer pets are really cute, I think we are not really doing these animals any favor. The genetic changes undergone by these animals can be fatal to them. I read somewhere that many of these designer pets do not really live long and they constantly suffer from different kinds of illnesses during their lifetime. It is really sad to see your pet suffer... I don't have the heart to see my dog in pain.

I think it's stupid and breeding dogs is even stupider.

Some of those fancy named "mixed breeds" that I have seen on tv or on the internet are cute. I think it is just a way for the breeders to make more money. hahaha

puggles are kinda popular. Part pug part beagle. This mixed designer breeds are costing so much money and yet they are not even recognized anywhere. It is just a way for people to get a lot of money selling a mutt by calling them designer breeds.

The AKC doesn't recognize "designer dogs" as breeds. But people will still dish out lots and lots of money for these mixed-breed dogs. I say if you want a good mixed-breed dog, go down to your local shelter. There's tons of great mixed-breed dogs there! I know around where I live puggles and yorkiepoos are pretty common.

I really think breeding dogs to be certain ways is wrong. Generally it does not cause problems, however their is the case of the pUg. They originally had slightly pushed in noses but people bred them until they had breathing problems because of it. They did the same thing as persians. Look at hairless cats? WHat use is that to an animal?
