German Shepherd dog

This past weekend, I saw an Affenhuahua.  Affenpinscher/Chihuahua mix.  That was different.

I call it a Great shit

Its certainly bullshit from the people that are breeding these cross breeds and then giving them a name to get lots of money for them.  They must find some real onions from somewhere willing to pay it as far as I`m concerned.

*lol* Shepadoodles have been around for a long time. I find all of these "designer dogs" to be utterly ridiculous. I had a shipmate bragging about one of her dogs once. She was telling me she spent $750 on a purebred YorkiePoo with AKC papers. I told her she just bought an over-priced mutt that came with its own piddle-pad; the AKC doesn't register mutts, and if the breeder told her that, she got hosed big time. I still think the best hybrids are shelter dogs.

The wackiest ones I've heard of: a Ba-Shar. It's a basset x shar-pei; also sometimes called a "mini-walrus." I guess they are running out of new things to breed with poodles.

Here's a post on a mutt with a fancy name: the American Superior -- http://www.pedigreedatabase.com/gsd/bulletins_read/142167.html

People are just making money out of crossbreds .The people who buy them must be crazy ..........

People don't even consider the compatibility of these dogs in physical structure or temperament. Out in my area, pet stores sell these dogs for $1000-2500+. It's outrageous. Last one that blew my mind was a "Bullmation", bulldog/dalmation. Great idea, lets see how many health problem you can fit into one dog, right? Best part is, you have NO idea what went into your designer dog. I just saw a "malti-poo" that clearly had American Eskimo in it, and I used work with a "labradoodle" that matured to be the size and body proportions of a standard dachsund. She paid $1500 for it.

The only hybrids I would lend credence to at this point are labradoodles from the Australia Rutland Manor and similar breeders. I have worked with several, and they have been very consistent in type, healthy with very good temperments. They are multigenerational doodles and before the big designer dog rush, it was cheaper to import one of their dogs than buy one from a pet store.

If you want a freakin mutt and you have two grand burning a hole in your pocket, for crying out loud, go adopt a dog and donate your money to a worthy cause. There's a great bumper sticker on cafepress.com that says: Designer Dogs Available Today at Your Local Shelter.
