    Maybe but what happens then when Crossbreed Breeders go on to have F1b, F2 litters etc so they are then trying to make a "type" so do you then think Less Attractive?? cause they all look the same. There are loads of not lookin the same dogs in rescue imo but do not have the designer tag on them so have not made the breeder's bank balance increase
    I stick by my opinion that there are enough Breeds out there to choose from without creating more for the Pet Market only.
    I did post an article re the Labradoodle Creator and he now regrets breeding and naming the Labradoodle Tells me a lot that article

    Hes entirely right. But im sure the same can be said regarding how pedigrees have evolved.

    Its guilty across the board.

    And they cant fit a standard, its not been done. Which is why there are so many F1 breeders.

    Sofor all the people who have posted on this thread that agree and think that with crossbreeding is beneficial/ needed answer this-----

    Why are the majority of the Crossbred Litters advertised mainly crossed with Poodles??? Any ideas why this breed should be the ideal choice Ideal Pet?? for to make an great, not lookin the same pet??

    I saw - But I am not talking about people who are cashing in on 'designer' dogs and names....

    He did not invent crossbreeding he popularised the name.

    Possibly because (for some odd reason) there is an anti feeling against poodles. No Idea why - its very sad really :(

    But - again - if you have read through this thread...at each point - I have classed an ethical breeder who has homes before the litter is even here - so would have no need for advertising in a paper ;)

    I differ from you then as imo he did indeed popularise the Poodle Crossbreeding

    He did - but he did not invent it :?

    People were crossing dogs a long time before he came along.

    So I take it that no one can come up with a half decent theory as to the need for Z if X and Y already make suitable companions.

    Its got nothing to do with breed purity, I'm just struggling to see the point honistly. If anyone thinks they can explain it, in a way that a logic driven mind like mine can understand, than I'm all ears.

    Believe mainly for the coat. Cant say im sure. Obviously it can make the dog very intelligent, energetic dogs that the cross may not be. Think this should always be identified with the potential owner. And also the potential grooming requirements.

    Possibly it might make X and Y slightly smaller or larger....or produce different coat lengths....or different colours?

    Not really enough info on letters.....people like different things...why is that wrong?

    I have read through Tassle, the good, the bad and the ugly lol

    So if I had a Crested x Boxer and had her tested. Joe Bloggs down the street had a Mastiff x Staff with a super nature and tested. Now should we mate then as the people on our street and family love both these dogs and would love a pup. Where does it stop is what bothers me really as at present the Ooodle crosses are becoming ridiculous imo

    For me it is dependant on the cross as well. Have said on numerous occasions I dont agree with dogs of such different frames being breed. Crested x Boxer woould ring major alarm bells to me.

    Do agree it has gone to far, by bad breeders just looking to see what can be the next craze.

    Its already been proven all over the internet that some of the Australian Labradoodles are indeed 100% poodle and owners did not know so why the need for this cross if the poodle with coat left on looked exactly the same

    Exactly so why is it okay for Crossbred Breeders to breed for the Pet Market when some are mainly just sticking anything together.
    If they do it Ethically going by some on here its okay as they are supplying the pet market!!!

    LOL It baffles me Laura-Anne it really does as the 100%poodle just looked like a scruffy Aussy Doodle but £8000 worth lol

    I would not think either of those were a sensible x....but then....I am not the dog police.....It is not up to me to decide who chooses their dogs or why. IF everything were known about histories etc, health tests had been done and found no issues and they have homes lined up for puppies and more....who am I to say they cannot do it? Just because it might take homes away from Pedigree dogs?

    I would agree to the where does it stop....rescues are overflowing with dogs...pure and x'd....this is not to do with x breeding this is to do with Over breeding fullstop.

    For me personally, although I am not opposed to crossbreeding the same care and attention needs to be taken when deciding sire to bitch needs to be taken. I firmly oppose breeding to produce minitures etc. And where its obvious theres going to be skin complaints as with crested.

    Theres just no knowing what effect you can be having on the dogs produced

    You are asking someone who likes poodles to speculate on why people don't!

    I do not know what people have against poodles...I think they are great little dogs.

    I was not actually talking about poodle crosses...I was talking crossbreeds in general.
