You know what makes me rage more than every other /an/ thing combined?

This new trendy crossbreed shit.

Maltypoo. Pomshi. Puggle.

Fuck it makes me loathe the human race. Does anyone else feel like this or is it just me?

Give me a good old fashioned Mutt any day.

All my dogs have been "Heinz 57" dogs, they were smart, loving, and tough as nails.

My one got heart worms when she was eight, almost died, pulled through, and lived until she died of old age at 19.

All the weird mix-names are an indicator of the number of irresponsible idiots who don't get their dogs fixed and let them run loose. It's not so hard people. Whack the sack and keep the mutt on a leash.

Hey, why are all of these relatively small dogs? Any one hear of any big dog mixes?

Also I knew someone who had a Lhasa-Shit. (Lhasa Apso/Shitzu)

I read somewhere that the more a dog deviates from teh size of a wolf, the more likely that breed will have genetic problems and short life spans.

any truth to this?

actually small dogs tend to live a lot longer than big dogs.

True. Small breed dogs can have a lifespan of 15 yrs, while large breeds only 9.

The dogs can be cute as hell but the names created by fat middle-aged women are annoying as FUCK. However, this trend did help me identify my old mutt, who is apparently a "Bichomo" (Bichon Frise and American Eskimo). Fuck that's gay.

Agreed, OP. This whole "designer dog" nonsense is complete and utter bullshit. People are spending thousands of dollars breeding dogs to look cute, while across America millions of dogs get euthanized (sp?) because they don't have homes.

Doesn't that seem just a little bit fucked up to you??

A mongrel is a mongrel. I actually saw a bunch of GSD x Rotties in the petstore the other day and they wanted $650 each for them! Fuck, ten years ago you'd have to pay people to take them! A mongrel is a mongrel is a fucking mongrel. I can understand a cross that's been deliberately developed for say, people with allergies (which could in time become a breed in its own right) but paying hundreds and hundreds of dollars for anything else? People are fucking idiots.

Totally agreed. What the hell, dog world. If I ever met anyone with one of these designer crossbreeds, I'd purposefully start saying things like "awww, what a lovely mongrel".

Designer dogs suck shit, if you buy one you're a fucking cockstain.

Absolutely retarded. Can't stand the shit. The names alone are enough to turn me off, just fucking call it a breed/breed mix or cross. God. MUTTS.

How these things came into being:

Breeder: "Oh shit, my pitbull fucked my poodle. I have to get rid of these... Buudles.
Airhead: "Zomg, Kawai, I pays top mounies for this cutest thing vear"
Breeder: *ca-shing* $.$

The annoying thing is that it was probably a conscious decision to prey on the stupidity of the general populace.

Those people who buy a fucking purebred dog.

What the hell is a purebred anyway? It's a dog with mixed breed ancestry until some point where people decided it looked cool and stopped breeding it with anything but it's own siblings. All modern pet dogs are mutts because none of them are wolves so get over feeling good about your little "Roddy" or "Bichon Frise" and go rescue your next pet because that bullshit doesn't matter.

Yeah. All the dogs I've had have been some form of mutt or other, one of which I got from someone i know who's dog had puppies, the other one I got for about 3 dollars when she was a puppy and she lived to be 19 before dying of old age.
