I’m not talking about whether or not they make good pets (because I’m sure they do), but about your opinion of the phenomenon itself. About the practice of breeding two specific breeds together to “create” a new “breed,” and people actually accepting it as such. Traditionally, this is not how breeds were created. Different breeds were often bred together to develop new ones, yes, but it was usually many different breeds, and it was done over a number of years, carefully, to reach a new breed, usually for a specific purpose. Breed A and breed B were not just “stuck” together to get breed C. It seems to be getting more and more popular, and you even have people insisting that one day, Goldendoodles for example, will be “real” recognized breeds by the AKC, and similar organizations.
So what do you think? Are these “designer” breeds just mutts, or something more? Do you think this is a harmless practice, a beneficial practice, or just needlessly creating more mutts?
And, why is a Golden Retriever/Poodle mix a real breed to some people, but to the very same people, a Cocker Spaniel/Fox Terrier mix is just a mutt? Why is a Chihuahua/Pomeranian mix not a mutt, while a Lab/Afghan mix is? That seems like a blatant double standard to me.
Goldengal, I'm not sure who you might be thinking of, but I'm quite sure I have never asked this question before.
Wild and Free, a Goldendoodle is a Golden Retriever/Poodle mix, and a Labradoodle is a Lab/Poodle mix, as far as I’m aware.
