Why are people so intense re: mix breed dogs? General Dog Discussions
I just adopted a Schnoodle from a family. This dog is the best dog we've ever had. I don't consider him a "mutt!" He's sweet, smart, loving & great w/ my three kids. I would love to get another one. As far as breeding them, I feel that so called "Professional Breeders" don't like other's breeding them, that's why they sell them fixed, so they won't have competition. I would like to breed my male schnoodle w/ a female to be able to give the puppies to family & friends. Not everyone wants money, but if I did, it's a "free" world. If I found after the first litter that I could give or sell them, I would keep the few left and fix the dogs. But, having a Schnoodle, I guarantee it wouldn't be a problem getting rid of the pups.I did not purchase the dog. We found an ad on the net looking for another family to adopt their dog. I also feel that one of the problems w/ soo many dogs being killed in these pounds is because the want soo much for the dogs. They need to change it to purchase an abandoned dog/cat. I feel adoption shouldn't cost people anything. But of course that's my opinion. Oh, Bichon's are gorgeous!There are professional breeders of these mixed poodle breeds. I guarantee I won't pay $800-2000 for a dog that is fixed! Most breeder insist you fix the dog, or they will drop the medical warrantee on it. But let me guess, that's not "cornering" the market??LOL! Ok, relax now! I first off didn't know what the dog was when I adopted it from the family. So I didn't intentionally seek out a Schnoodle, get that straight! I was taking the dog no matter what breed. As far as your issue w/ saying that Schnoodles are nasty or mean, just like w/ Chows, Pinchers & Pits, it's how the owner raises the dog. Now as far as breeding "My" dog, I would do it to give to family & friends. You can say he's a mutt, get off on it if you must! But, a purebreed can be just as nasty as any other dog & can be dumped at a pound too. Like I said, people are sooo intense on their opinions, relax! And I've never & would never "dump" a dog or puppies in a pound. And if I breeded puppies, they would only go to people I knew, friends/family members. So relax already! LOL!I wish I had the means to adopt from a pound many dogs, but I don't. I feel sorry for those dogs that are put there. That is why when I found this dog, I took him. The previous owner gave him to us to avoid dumping him off in a pound. She choose us to take him. So, in a way, I or We saved Blackie's life by taking him. He was on his way to the pound, now he's with our family being loved by all.LOL! Maybe Zam & some of the other's going on about the Mixed breeds being mutts and about the cost of them are just jealous because they can't afford one? Just a thought! And if you are worried soo much about the one's in the pound, why don't you adopt some? I would, I just happen to run across one that was being given away first. Otherwise we would have ended up adopting from the pound. : )Sweetie, if I choose to breed to give to family & friends, it's just that my choice! But thanks for the advice re: the small dogs, I'll check out the sites! : ) All I can say is RELAX! Mutt this, mutt that, are you a purebreed?? LOL! Didn't think so! So maybe you should be called a mutt too?? No I didn't think so! LOL! Get over yourself! LOL!I didn't even know what I adopted until I got home. So I didn't seek out a "Designer" dog. I sought out a small, inside dog that would be a good family dog. I actually thought it was funny when I realized that they called him a "Schnoodle." I wouldn't care what he's called, he's our's and we love him, no matter what he is.Look, some of you are really trippin re: these so called designer dogs. Is your life going to end if someone breeds or buys one? If you breed pure breeds, good for you. It's a free world, do as you please. But like I said before, I would only give them to people I knew, and I would make sure just like you that they go to a good home. But I guess only pure breed breeder are intellegent enought to think about that! LOL!If you actually think about people calling dogs "Mutts" is kinda stupid. So would humans be considered "Mix Breeds"&"Mutts?" Just a question. Hey, if your well off and can waste $1500-2400 on a dog, go for it. But don't put down these dogs. They are actually gorgeous animals. Don't hate, appreciate! LOL! Have a good night!
