A website, other than Ebay, that sells Coach dog collars?

I am looking for websites that sell Coach dog collars. I know ebay does but they don't not have the specific collar I am looking for.
Thanks for the suggestions. My pup received a leash for Christmas from somebody else and I would love to find a matching collar. I've been googling and Ebaying for hours and for some reason, Coach.com doesn't have pet accessories on their website.

Exploring the Cons of Designer Dogs?

The major con of designer dogs is the price. Most designer dogs cost upwards of 0, whereas many purebred dogs begin at 0. (Of course, mixed breed dogs are widely available for adoption, typically at prices set by rescue groups or animal shelters.)

Although each designer dog was bred for specific appearance and traits, there's a good chance that some or all of them will not develop in the offspring. Mixing breeds is chancy, because the outcome is not absolute. Although purebred dog offspring will always mature to appear like the parent dogs, the hybrid offspring may appear more like one parent than the other, or have a personality more like one parent than the other. So, although you might be searching for a small Yorkipoo, the pup might grow up to be the size of a large Yorkshire Terrier instead of a Teacup Poodle.
As much as the breeders of designer dogs claim that mixing two breeds improves the offspring's overall health, that presumption is debatable. Although many of the puppies don't show symptoms of the recessive genetic dysfunctions commonly seen in purebred dogs, many other puppies do. In fact, a hybrid puppy can have the poor luck to inherit the worst physical and temperament traits of both parents.

Why do people buy into the DESIGNER DOG crap? It's so much better to go down to your local animal shelter and adopt a dog from there. The majority of the dogs are mixed breeds anyhow just like designer dogs.

how do you feel about "designer" dogs?

I know that this has been on here before, but I have to raise the question again to see some different answers. It's not that I'm against cross-breeding, etc. - I've owned both shelter dogs/mixes and pedigrees, and I think that either can be the best companions. I feel that genetically engineered dogs with "designer" names are a scam to get more money for "mutts." I have a Pit Bull/Schnauzer mix... could I breed her with another and call her a Schnitt Bull, or perhaps a Bull Schnitt, and push for the AKC to register the breed to make money?

No flames please... just my opinion. How do you all feel about it?
Just to clarify - my pup has been spayed since she was 9 weeks old - I couldn't leave the shelter with her unless she was (or it would have been done, just not so early). I, by no means, am intending to breed her as a "designer dog" - it was just a sarcastic example.

And with my saying that I'm not against cross-breeding - I just mean that I'm not a pedigree snob... I'm a "dog-lover" and to me that means that I'll love a mutt and a pedigree all the same!

Am I the only one who laughs when you see people advertising these so-called "Designer Dogs" at outrageous prices. I understand that some people just want something different, but honestly "designer"? This is only a fancy way of saying you have a mixed breed pup! anyone feel the same?

What's the deal with these 'designer' dogs?

I don't get what the big rage is about these 'designer' mutts.

Someone please explain to me why people would pay over 0 for a dog with no breed standard, no record of health issues, and no chance of being registered with the AKC? Why would people pay over ,000 for them? Anyone could take a grade Yorkshire Terrier and cross it with any other small dog..

What is so special about these 'designer' dogs?
Sometimes, expensive can mean good.
When you pay 00 for a puppy and get an AKC eligible pup from very strong show lines, a two year health guarantee, and the assurance that your dog meets the breed standard.. That's a well-spent 00.

Why are designer dogs such a big trend?

Last year, I went to a pet shop and fell in love with a yorkie-bichon mix. She was hiding in the corner of the window, looking so depressed. I asked to see her, and she turned out to be the love of my life. She cost me ,000 but she was well worth it because she is a wonderful, loving dog. And I figured, pet shops are very expensive as is - I just wanted to get her out of there and share with her lovable personality. She is my best friend and worth every penny.

After, a few months, I started hearing all this fuss over designer dogs. It wasn't until my friend sarcastically said of course I'd have a designer dog to go with my designer stocked closet. I'm like, what are you talking about? She's a mutt! Haha. People haven't mixed yorkies and bichons before? When did this become "in"?

I don't understand the fuss over this new "trend" known as designer dogs. What makes it so special? How did this start? Don't get me wrong, I adore my pup, but because of her personality, not breed!
Oh wow. =( I didn't know. ,000 is a lot of a poochie, I know, but her love makes up for it so I'm not concerned. I just hope people buying into these dogs can afford it and don't put themselves into debt over a cute puppy. That really would be bad. ='( You guys are very informative!
Hypo-allergenic? Please, my Daisy still makes me sneeze and so does my purebred Bichon. Haha. Frebreeze Allergin Reducer is my friend! I researched to see if mine has a fancy name... it's a Yo-Chon. Wow, where do people come up with this stuff? Seriously - she's a mutt!!! Haha.
