Agreed. There'd be subgroups which would essentially be designated by purpose, right?  

But they're still all intentional crosses.   Even though I'm willing to bet these intentional crosses all got started from one accident, or one "oops."  And then: Whoa, wouldn't it be cool/adorable if we.....

You're rant story is sad.  Sorry buddy.  I know the public is tedious at work Did this dog perhaps never touch the ground ever, not have the ability to breathe properly, nor the ability to mate properly, or suffer from any other human created problem that brings into question its dogness?

Yeah, by purpose makes sense.
It is tedious indeed.. I didn't see the dog, so who knows. I guess some lady came into one of he other stores with a "vegetarian cat". Now that's disgusting. And a death sentence. Someone told them so, and that they should've gotten a hamster. I wish I had the balls. Or my 90 days, lol.

god, my dog love sweet potatoes but that doesnt make him vegitarian >.<' where do people get thi stuff

On one of the classifies page I *was* following, one of the "admins" was advertising her litter of HuskyxPom I couldn't hold my tongue anymore and obviously was removed from that group... lol

There are many breeds (a lot of the smaller "bully" dogs) who can't reproduce or give birth naturally. If the dog isn't capable of doing so... There is a serious problem with the way people have molded that breed.

Any intentional cross breed (especially when they name them) is idiotic. I can't stand it.

Haha, I love how you wrote HuskyxPom and not Pomsky. I can see the bad taste in your mouth, and rightfully so.

Do you not support any intentional crossings, even for working purposes?

Yeah, the only intentional crosses i support is for a better working dog

The only working crosses I wouldn't put in the same boat are those who health test their dogs. In the working world, many think as long as the dog can work- they're fine. I do not believe such a broad statement and feel if you're going to breed anything- do everything in your power to set the puppies up to be as sound and healthy as possible.

Even then- I feel the actual need for such crosses is much smaller than the current pool.

Her dog probably doesnt go on walks.  Probably rides around in one of those doggy strollers.  

I think most designer breeds are a "wouldn't that be cute/ neat to mix" and puppy mills and bybs have dollar signs in their eyes knowing that people Already pay $$$$ for cute little Yorkies and pugs so why not make a porkie for 2x the cuteness and $$$$$$$$$. (Note I nave no clue if porkies exist)

I saw a "dorkie" today. No joke. Dachshund x yorkie

Oh man, porkies and dorkies.

Issues aside, that's kind of the best thing ever. Tongue in cheek.

 

and yes i didn't mean don't health test it. Healthy working dogs are the best.
