Tracy, thats exactly what i was thinking! This place does scream puppy mill, i was going to say that but decided not to.

A friend who works with an all-breed rescue had an oops litter of Shepadoodle puppies come through the rescue. They were very very cute. Can't see breeding them on purpose though.

Some of the GSD x poodle mixes are cute, a few do look a bit GSD in the body. Some of them vaguely remind me of wirehaired pointing griffons. Most of the dobie x poodle mixes look pretty neat, like a wirehaired dobie or a pudelpointer. To breed them intentionally though, that is made of fail. Epic fail. Not so much because of the breed crossing, but because we all know what sorts of health and temperament testing the breeding stock are going through. *cough* NONE *cough*

 

[Brightelf]

Yet more "Greeder$" trying to ca$h in on a trend, creating mutt$ with high price tag$.

These are LIVES here. To breed without the strict health screenings and impartial temperament tests..... a recipe for genetic timebombs.

Again, these are "Greeders" riding the crest of the wave of a trend. The mixed-breed dogs pay the price.

 

[DnP]

Designer dogs, eh?

I think 10 years ago they would have been called mutts.

Can't think of why you'd want to breed a gsd and a poodle to begin with.

And I'd agree with the statements about it being a puppy mill.

 

[Tetley's Mom]

Designer dogs? I thought the times of luxury were over here in the US? Seriously - get back to basics. Want a GSD, get one. Want a Poode, get one.

I agree that hybrid breedings are out of control - and the the price... Geez! These are glorified mutts IMHO.

 

[Prinzsalpha]

We have a moma wgsd who we think did it with a poodle. I just found out there hair is very wavy. I will post pics when I get them. So yes we do have designer dogs in rescue. A standard was hanging out around her and very aroused. LOL.

 

[SunCzarina]

Designer dogs, give me a break. They are mutts. Anyone in today's economy who'd pay $1000 for a mutt is a fool.

 

[Reik's mom]

Okay..this is getting worse and worse as time goes on and more and more people are trying to make money "designing" different breeds..Does anyone one of these

consider the lifetime health issues of these designer dogs that are out there?? Of course not.. it is about the almighty dollar and how much they can make over their newest designs.. It makes me so

..

 

[GSDLoverII]

WHY????

It's silly. We were at my great nephew's birthday party at the house of his father's auntie. She has a labradoodle. He's a spook. I know a spook when I meet one and he is one.

She was going on and on about him, wants to breed him but can't find an owner of a female who wants to do this. Then she makes the stupidest statement to me - "He is a purebred.'

Held my tongue becuase I her bfs family is a big sack of gossips and don't need my niece listening to what a meanie I am that auntie shouldn't be breeding her mutt. I did plant the bug in my niece's ear though, she's very good with dogs and she was like, Auntie Jenn, you're right that dog is not right in the head

 

[rainydaygoods]

Oh man, $1200 for a mutt from a puppy mill where there are so, so many dogs in shelters who need good homes.

I don't get it. I can see I'm not alone.

 

[lcht2]

wth??

 

[Caledon]

I agree. They are mutts. The owners of these mutts refuse to think of them in this light. I've been searching for a german shepherd club in my area and cannot find one. One exists for doberman's and for goldendoodles.

I'm open to new breeds being developed, but what is happening here has nothing to do with developing a better breed, more like developing a better bank account.

 

[BlackPuppy]

Why don't they look for like shepherds? No coat markings, floppy ears. And.. they cost more than Balto (shipping not included).

Still, they are cute mutts.

Designer dogs: Available now at your local shelter.



This craze sickens me as do the duped fools and tools of society who buy into these marketing atrocities and create a demand.

LOL!

Maybe if people actually thought this they would not only adopt the animals in shelters but also pay top dollar! That would help reduce euthanization and make the shelters more sanitary and welcoming...

The older I get, the more I think humans are "purebred" for stupidity...

 

[MustLoveGSDs]

It's really depressing and shocking just how many people are oblivious and unaware of the dog overpopulation crisis.

It's also really depressing and shocking that many do know and are aware, but they just don't care or turn a blind eye.

 

[Emoore]

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I heard that Labradoodles a recognized breed in Australia?
