    American Bulldogs the new Poodle?

    Seriously, you know how it was ubber popular to cross everything under the sun with poodles?  At our local Petland, they are now doing it with American Bulldogs.  Last weekend they had a "Bullmation"--dalmation/American Bulldog mix ($1199) and an American Bulldog/Beagle cross.  In the past they have had American Bulldog/boxer mixes, and a half American Bulldog quarter shar-pei and quarter lab (cost upwards of $1000).  It's insane!

    What is wrong with people??? [:'(] I love my American Bulldog to death, but it is certainly not a breed suitable for the average person. An American Bulldog/Beagle cross would be a disaster. Who would want a ridiculously strong dog that will take off if it catches a sent?!

    That's terrible. [&o] I'm so tired of corrupt pet stores and the people who blindly go buy one of these poor pups, especially if they have been educated on this type of thing already (one of my friends won't buy her dogs anywhere else despite my nagging on her).

    In general the designer mutts are the big thing now. It absolutely breaks my heart because mutts and even purebred dogs in the pound are dying every second while stupid people are paying $$$$ because they think they are getting something special.
    They have got to do something about Puppy Mills and BYB's!!!

    what puzzles me is who would be stupid enough to spend that kind of money on a mixed-breed dog????

    Unfortunately its all about the mighty $$$ and not being able to see the forest thru the trees. Designer dog/mixed breed/mutt.....I just want to scream "Hello people wake up, its one in the same". Some slick marketer coined the term "designer dog", so now we have the perception of "value" applied to what used to be a good old-fashioned mutt.
