It's a silly, silly trend. There is nothing wrong with mutts (unless of course there are health issues) but buying one because it's "designer" and "in" and paying ridiculous amounts of money for it shows what kind of person you are.

In my opinion if a dog is a cross breed then it's a mongrel regardless if the parents are different pure Breeds.

I have two so called 'designer dogs' - two Labradoodle boys.
They weren't bought as a fashion accessory or because designer dogs are currently 'in', they were bought to complete our family and yes, they are as spoilt as any child of mine would be.
I think as long as the breeders are responsible and not breeding crosses that will have increased medical issues, there's nothing wrong with cross breeds. Each to their own....

I have have 2 little lap dogs meet miffy and lulu. Miffy is a pure pedigree kc registered chihuahua and lulu is a so called (designer breed) pomchi. Pomeranian cross chihuahua. There is no difference between the 2 when it comes to temperment or health. I think its a bit of fun mixing the names of breeds together but has been used and abused by people wanting to make money. I didnt buy lulu because she was a designer breed I just wanted little friend for miffy

Labradoodles are a fantastic example of how cross breeding can be positive. I used to be involved with a charity that trained assistance dogs and they mainly use Labrador Retrievers or Golden Retrievers (seeing the difference in how these two carry out their tasks according to breed is very interesting)
However, they also use Labradoodles in order to combine the working side of the Labrador and the reduced risk of allergy coming from the Labradoodles coat. So if someone who uses a wheelchair suffered a dog allergy they will not be discounted because there is a dog for them.
My boy is pure bred Labrador Retriever from show stock so he is big and chunky (not fat), whereas our previous female Lab was working stock so she was more svelte.
My Husband cannot bear Crufts and everything that goes with it. Apparently they are coveting a new standard which means a fatter dog. How can you decide something is fashionable in the animal world FGS? All domesticated dogs are descendant of the grey wolf, but didn't man cross breed deliberately to utilise the breed specifics? So you could argue that all dogs are mongrels of the wolf.

This just came up on my FB.
Far as I can tell this is the bitches 3rd litter. Each puppy sells for £450 and the "breeder" is very much of the backyard variety. It is not fair to use your dog as an income.

"Theyd much rather be carried around in a handbag" this makes me so angry, no dog wants this. All dogs need exercise!
And they should not be leaving until atleast 8 weeks, sounds so dodgy

Why would you put a dog in a bag. It's got legs
I have a lapdog, but there is no way ever he would go in a bag, just silly

Exactly!
Yep I know !
I find people laugh at me and my chi when we go out for walks but his personality definitely makes up for his size !
He isn't " yappy " like most people say .
He is brilliant with my two children and part of the family .
But I'd be too embarrassed to whack him in a hand bag and go out !
People often ask do you put him in a bag ?
Um no it's a f:::::g dog !

Argggghhh yes. It's so annoying! The only time I have ever attempted this was for a flight, they told me he had to go in a bag as his cage (that we had measured and checked several times was the correct dimensions) was rigid???? Suffice to say he didn't go in the silly bag and yes he took the flight!!
I have 2 siberian huskies, love them too bits, I've heard of the pomskies we were discussing them at husky camp and apparently there quite loud compared to the sibes here's a pic of my 2

Little dogs carried around in bags really seem to wind my big staffy & american bulldog up the wrong way! There's a lady who lives on our street and she has some little thing that wears a sparkly pink coat & she carries it around in a pink bag covered in sparkles. I think my dogs see it as the canine version of McDonalds! Mmmm lunch!

I can't begin to explain how much this winds me up since that bimbo Paris Hilton started being photographed carrying a dog and even more bimbos copied it. A dog is not a fashion accessory you moronic half wit. Blimey I'm so hormonal!
