rec.pets.dogs.behavior: you will find plenty of cross breeds at your local shelter. In the poster's post to rpd.breeds, I pointed him to a beautiful 1 year old male cocker/poodle in a shelter in his general area. I hope the poster follows up. -- --Matt. Rocky's a Dog. |

I'll take your word for the "good" part (assuming you mean ethical, responsible, etc). You're the Northern Breed maven. However, I doubt very much that there are good breeders of poo dogs. Yup. Some jackass, seeing that Baron hasn't been snipped (yet), approached me the other day about the idea of "schnoodles." I kept my composure, though. -- Mark Shaw (And Baron) moc TOD liamg TA wahsnm ================================================== ======================= "Outside of a dog, a book is probably man's best friend; inside of a dog, it's too dark to read." -Groucho Marx |

Rocky's a Dog. i do hope so. i hate it when a dog becomes a fashion item and right now its fashionable to have a 'cockapoo' . it really does rile me and right now its a puppy farmers dream come true with bloody 'jackapoos' and god knows what and yet if i were to offer one of these ppl a jrt x or a poodle x it just wouldnt do. }: ( |

Even though the dogs aren't recognized as a breed, a lot of the things that go along with what we call breeds are done, as well. I would venture that the average Alaskan Husky owner who works his dogs knows more about his dogs' pedigrees (i.e. not just who the ancestors were, but what they looked like, how they ran, who owned them, who the siblings were and who owned them, and so on) than the average purebred pet owner. There are probably a couple of things disqualifying them as a breed, particularly that there's a huge amount of variety in physical type. There are some people who breed because they think it's cheaper than buying and so they breed whatever they've got around, but the good breeders are extremely fastidious. -- Melinda Shore - Software longa, hardware brevis - Prouder than ever to be a member of the reality-based community |
