Okay, /an/, just what do you think about "designer dogs?"

A good alternative to purebred dogs (hybrid vigor and all) or just another way to scam a couple thousand dollars out of materialistic, self-absorbed people?

Pic is a goldendoodle, a golden retriever X poodle mix. If nothing else, designers have the fucking faggiest names. Cockapoo? WTF...

To a point i think the whole designer dog thing isn't a bad idea. The goldendoodles have the willingness to learn of a golden, with the independence and intelligence of a poodle...plus the non allergen fur.

Some other people just get them for the whole 'fad' and i think that is stupid.

They're mutts that trendy idiots will pay thousands for, and we should laugh at them for it.

Ultimate combination = Bulldog + Shih'tzu.

Bullshit.

Aren't they supposed to be healthier at least? I guess if that were your primary concern, though, you would be getting a dog at the shelter.

I've got a "goldendoodle", however, when we first got her she was just a mutt, nowadays, shes some stupidly expensive mutt-mix.

How in the fuck does stuff get like this?

They are both from the same litter, the nearest one is ours, the farthest one is my grandmothers.

You get some con/scam artist that convinces some rich folk to think your 'mutt/breed' is the best dog ever and that they can not live with out them... who decided to mistake /an/ for /s/???

There's no guarantee that the dog will inherit "good" genes from the parents. I've seen many designer dogs that were pretty messed up because of poor breeding, which is pretty rampant actually (it's like anything else...if people can make money off it, they're gonna do it). There's no real definition or standard for these dogs, and you'd be surprised how many people get animals without researching them first.

There are so many dogs and cats out there that need good homes that are put down every year because people want to buy these kinds of dogs. You're just paying extra for a mutt that you could get at your local pound. At least when you adopt, you're saving a life, and the majority of the animals are grateful.

I think it's horrible that people pay hundreds of dollars for a mixed breed dog. I think it's horrible that people pay thousands of dollars for a pure bred dog. I think it's even worse when they don't train it properly and/or treat it like furniture or a toy.

For the most part I agree that it's a load of shit, but wasn't the original idea behind the whole designer dog idea to breed a dog that was hypoallergenic like a poodle, but easier to train as a seeing eye dog? Seems like a legitimate reason to charge a fuckton for a well bred labradoodle to me.

Maybe if it is already trained, but as a mixed breed puppy? Eh, no. A few hundred bucks tops. Way to take advantage of the handicapped.

Also, that only applies to labradoodles. Two thousand bucks for a puggle? Bitch, please.
