I am curious what you all out there in the Doggy world think about the so called evolution of "Designer Dogs". You know what I am talking about...Bugs (beagles/pugs), Frenchtons (frenchbulldogs/boston terriers)Bossy Bullys (bulldogs, frenchies and bostons all mixed together), I pick on these because its a mixture of several breeds I care deeply about. The resulting puppies from these mixtures are nothing more then what they are.... A MIXED BREED DOG!! While there is absolutely NOTHING WRONG with a mixed breed dog, there is something very wrong the the amount of money the average joe has to spend to get one. From $600 to 1100!!! Now that my friends is just someone out there to make a buck. Have any of you read the contracts? NO reputable/responsible will ask for a down payment to "HOLD" a puppy. No where in the contracts does it say that if for some reason you can no longer keep your precious wonderful puppy that they will ALWAYS be there for you to take the dog back at any stage in its life. Only reputable and responsible breeders do that.
My mom told me that this rescue group has taken in 5 of these mixes from SW Washington state, all had to be put to sleep because their temperment was so bad it was scary. She even said they were evaluated by excellent trainers that work with our most difficult dogs. So sad because it was not the dogs fault, it is just poor genetics and breeding practices.
Please let us know your thoughts and opinions.
