I have read with interest about northern inuits and see they get the same slating, is it just because these are new breeds as well. If new breeds were never introduced we would have just one type of dog now no poodle, mastiffs, yorkies and so on, just everyone owning the same dog. Why oh why can't people love dogs just for what they are. Imo as long as the dogs are healthy and breeders strive to bring the best out in these new breeds what is the problem?
Also, I have asked for an opinion, on what are 3 breeds of dog, and considering I am wrong in saying the ISBT is not a proper breed, whats wrong with asking? Shay said I am wrong, i am asking his opinion on those 3 dogs, whats the problem?

Why isnt the Labradoodle a purebred? It breeds true like the ISBT what makes it any less a pedigree?

The fact that Ed Reid is involved in some aspects of this 'breed' says enough to me!
By all means love your dogs but don't claim they are something they are not.

Showing pics of dogs and asking someone to name them is just like being in a court of law if you get it wrong then you have lost your case.
