A very close place to find "designer" dogs are in your local animal shelter. There you will find many mix breeds, there to die and lanquish for no cause of there own. Just because they were unwanted, and discarded to die in a cold lonely place.
Visit your animal shelter, and see what I am talking about, or go on Petfinder...Your designer dogs are waiting for you right there, but these will give back more in return for their rescue.
The idea to have a companion pet is to give love, and they in turn give theirs, so faithfully...no strings attached.We don't get animals because they "fit" in the fashion of that day, or match our furniture, or cute...Pets are not disposable, and I always wonder why would many spend so much for the Vogue "designer" pets, when that money could save so many more in your animal shelters across the country, and find the same "mixed" breeds.
I will always defend our pets in the shelter, they have no voice for themselves, they die lonely, hurt, at times abused, without a wimper, just a sweet kiss to the hand that puts them to sleep.
Maggie, Princess and Vanna saved as breeder"s dogs, for the fashionable"white"schnauzers that almost cost her death with a tumor in her mouth, decayed teeth, tapeworms, and her puppies that died minutes from each other, also she had 4 mammory tumors ,all for the sake of "white"toy schnauzers,and she was 7 years old at the time!
