Re: Pug Zu / Pug Zy - Right or wrong?


the dogs you describe are cross breeds. people are sucked in by their desire to have something 'different', when what they end up with is an empty wallet and a mongrel. nothing wrong with a mongrel at all but please lets stop with all these ridiculous made up names!

Re: Pug Zu / Pug Zy - Right or wrong?


These cross breeds won't be 'pure breeds' for many generations - if ever.

There are loads of threads on Dogsey with people's feelings on this...

Personally I'm not totally against crossing but I do think it needs to be for a specific reason, carefully thought out and taking genetics and health fully into account.

The types of crossbreeds you are talking about are bred purely for the 'designer' name and a cute looking puppy for one purpose only...money...and that just makes me feel sick and angry.

I just think it's pointless - if you don't have a particular purpose/selection of traits in mind, or want a crossbreed, why not rescue a dog?

Personally have never heard of the last three..and I think your comment regarding breeding humans to have manly bits and breasts is just bizarre!!!

Dogs have manly bits and breasts too..and come in all shapes and sizes so I just don't get what you mean at all!!

Re: Pug Zu / Pug Zy - Right or wrong?


But they are still all dog!!!

hermaphrodite's are of the same species..but both sexes..

A pug x shihtzu is still all dog?? just as a man x woman would still be all human..

You can have hermaphrodite animals and hermaphrodite humans..that is a completely different question to breeds!!
