What is a Designer dog?

Hybrid dogs, often called designer dogs breeds, are the results of controlled cross-pollination between two purebred dogs. It is believed that the term "designer dog" was made popular by the media after it was found that many celebrities showed interest in hybrid dogs. Hybrid dogs has been increasing popular in the last 10-20 years. Why is this?

The main reason for people to create hybrid dogs is perhaps to end up with a family-friendly dog that is also hypoallergenic. Case, Labradoodle and Goldendoodle. Labrador Retrievers and Golden Retrievers are two of the most popular dog breeds in the United States. They are fun-loving, happy, playful and active dogs that tend to be exceptionally good with children. People also like the look. But they throw me occupied. Maven shed not much at all and is usually large for those allergic to dogs. Despite the fact that the stomach is also a great family dogs, people who want Lab or Golden "look" and position do not want a Poodle. But crosses the two breeds may result in a low-shedding Lab or Golden. Perfect, right? Not necessarily.

Another reason to create a hybrid is pure ærefyldt. I accept that some hybrids-like Puggles (Beagle/Pug cross)-are incredibly sweet. It is, however, most of the mystery of the mutts on the pound. Guess what I'm trying to say that I am not a fan of hybrid dog trend. Crossing two breeds does not guarantee the offspring will take on the desired traits. Basic creates breeding hybrid dogs just deliberately more mixed breed dogs. One could argue that this causes more mutts ends unwanted and homeless. While I love the mutts, I also believe nature has given us with the surplus (and, by their very nature, want to say many, many irresponsible dog owners).

If you think you want a hybrid dog, I would first consider dog adoption. Many purebred and hybrid-type dogs are available through shelters and rescue groups. If you still believe you want a hybrid, do your research. Learn more about hybrid dogs before you make your choice.
