Instead, they've found a marketing ploy to get suckers to pay big bucks for mixes. None of those so-called designer breeds is a breed--they're an F1 cross of two purebreds (and likely poor quality ones at that). A breed is a breed when it breeds true (produces dogs that look like the parents) over several generations. And it takes years to become an AKC breed. |

All I can say is that I am sick to damned death of Puggles. I see them absolutely *everywhere*. Beagles are awesome. Pugs are amazing. But there is no reason in the world to combine them. Its not like they have complementary temperaments, strengths or structure. Its just bizarre. Tara |

"oooooo, if we combined beagles and pugs we could call them puggles! Cool name! Let's do it!" gag me. |

Tara But don't you want a chubby looking beagle thing that still has the beagle bark... because if you get a puggle you just might get one. Or you might get a stretched out looking pug that makes a little woof sound. I personally hate them, and don't see why people can be so stupid to actually get them. |

I was meaning it towards people allowing themselves to get pulled into the whole designer dog craze. My first cairn terriers were from questionable back yard breeders, but I've since learned why that was a bad idea. Since then I have only gotten one dog, and he is a rescue mutt. My next dog will be from a reputable breeder after my ugly mutt is no longer with me, which hopefully will be a long time from now. |

Not only can no two people agree on a definition for the term, the most carefully researched breeding is still subject to chance. (Speaking as a breeder who tries hard to produce good dogs.) Hope ugly mutt is with you for a long time. Amy Dahl |

Hope ugly mutt is with you for a long time. Amy Dahl Don't worry, I'm aware of the chance involved in a breeding. As far as I am concerned, the only definition of the term reputable breeder that matters is my personal definition. I will be the person aquiring a dog after all. As long as they follow my standards, then the chance for a problem dog should be lower in theory. And obviously, I wouldn't hold anything against the breeder if it doesn't turn out that way, because if they followed my standards, then they did everything they could have been reasonably expected to do. |
