i sortof have a problem with designer dogs.

search the forum for "doodle" and put on your reading glasses.

what are u talking about.

i searched doodle and i dont get what for, though there is another thread form the 20 of september about the same thing. Are you upset with what i said?
 
 

I think Jones was just saying that everyone here will agree with you.  Anytime the topic comes up, we go on and on about how much we dislike the doodle craze.  A further search will lead to way more than just one other topic.

ok thank you i  was just saying cause the rescue where i got one of my dogs is always getting these dogs cause they dont turn out right. They dont get turn in but go to the puppy mill and take the dogs that were going to  be put to  sleep. Another question do u think its possible for a puppy mill to  have a viszla. cause i think the mix is dachshund viszla. justa question. And would trying to eat poop also account for may having minium food and using it so he didnt starve.

I am confused by your grammar. Are you saying that you have a doxie/vizsla mix that came from a mill?

hey,  yes i  am unsure of what he is but after comapring him to many breeds i think  he is a dachshund/viszla mix. we definalty know he has dachshund. The rescue we got him from takes in  puppy mill rescue. I woulkd never buy from them.

Designer dogs are a pity.  I saw an ad the other day on puppyfind for a beagle/french bulldog.  Why would anyone intentionally breed a beagle to anything other than a beagle?

hey i agree. There are so many dogs needing homes and unless u r improving a breed. You shouldnt breed. I mean most  dogs are great  and so  are designer dogs. They are just dogs that dont need to bred.

Eskiemom is right, all I meant is that we have discussed this so many times on the forum... it's kind of hard to think up anything new to say about it. [] Often people use the word "doodle" as shorthand for designer dogs due to the popularity of poodle mixes. I know there are lots of past threads on this if you're interested, maybe you could search for poodle mix, labradoodle, designer dogs, etc.

ok well would you know how to close thi, cause if that is so you can

I guess I felt like I had to reply here. I have owned a Cockapoo - free. A Cockapoo - 25.00. A Border collie mix - 50.00. Cocker Spanial - purbeed - 50.00 no papers ( I found out latter) , Ect. I Guess Susie at 50.00 and Buffy was the two most expensive ones - Susie - a pet store . No mill here. Buffy  - Yes I guess she was - I know better now. Boy did she need a home. We had to have the windows down for the smell.  Took her home - bath - It took me two years to get over her death. It was old age but she was my life. Almost every dog that I have owned have been mixes and I gave them a home because they need one and I needed them. I have had 12 dogs in my life. At sometime a few at a time. 4 have been purebreads. One 50.00 - no papers - Buffy- shame on me. One left at a street light - shame on them. The other two were when I was a child.

The last dog we have had was given to us for free cause she needed a home. We had her for about 10 years. She died this summer. The vet doesn`t know why. Test after test. Visit after visit. 40 miles away. Drug after drug. Hubby said money is no problem as long as we have a live Fluffy. Well $$$ down the road and Fluffy died. Shes in a jar on the shelf along with Susie.

Now to the post - Fluffy was the last dog that we got for FREE because she needed a home. Fluff died. I could not stand to walk into my house because Fluff waited by the door for us to come home. Its like losing a member of the family. I had to fill that void. I could not keep coming home until I did that. I was too hard.

So we got Molly a Lhasa-Poo. (Designer)OK. She was not from a Pet Store. She was from a breeder. Yes we had to pay money for her, but is wan`t a outrageous price like some charge - enough Yes. But I needed to fill that void in my life quick. If I could have brought Fluff back I would have. I went to shelters also. The ones that are round here don`t get puppies that will be small dogs when they grow up. I wanted a puppy that will out live me this time. I getting old. Anyway I feel like it. Went 150 miles away on shelters and they want 250.00 and up for the adoption fee. In my mind Molly was already born when Fluff died. She also needed a home - I needed her. Whats the problem.

Its not the dogs doing the breeding - its the owners doing it. I got cockapoos for 25.00 and free years ago - Not today anymore. Loved them back then and I still do. Only now they have a price on their head. They still need a home. If they don`t get a home What happens to them? They are not in charge of why they came to being. The breeders are.


I Love Molly I don`t care if shes a Designer breed or not. Shes mine and I love her.

I agree that they need homes and that it doesnt make a difference but the fact that they get put to sleep cause they dont turn out right. there mutts their supposed to look different.

If it wasnt for foolish people "breeding" them they wouldnt need homes.  By buying one you are just feeding the pockets of people living off of their dogs ability to reproduce.  It is disgusting that people would do this, it is a mutt flat out, not a shih-poo, cockapoo, bishon-poo.  These are just names that people put on their mutts to sucker people into paying for them.  No one would spend even 500 of it said mutts of sale, but call it a puggapoo, and they fly off the shelves, sick.  Pretty soon no one will even know what a poodle is, to sell them we are gonna have to start calling them doodlepoos, sad.  I am not saying the people that breed purebreds to live off are any better, but aleast in pure breds you can find a reputable breeder.  One that shows, does health tests, doesn't have mulitple litters a year, breeds only when they have all the pups sold BEFORE the breeding, is willing to take in rescues and their own pups if need be, they do not live off their dogs ability to make puppies, in fact most have jobs to support their dogs.  And people will come here and say oh no there are reputable mutt breeders, sorry that is an oximoron, no reputable breeder would cross breed, no reputable breeder will sell their dogs for mutt breeding.  Mutt breeders start out will poorly bred dogs, and produce more poorly bred dogs.  And yes I have heard the one about the so and so great poodle breeders that decided that labradoodles were such perfect dogs they started to breed them and only had the best dogs, ya right, no true poodle fancier would ruin thier breed by mutting it out to that.
 
and im off my soap box
