I don't usually - I just say they are crossbreeds but on forums like this and especially on related threads it is clearer. I don't really have an objection so much to Labradoodle, Goldendoodle or Cockerpoo, probably because they were bred for purpose but it has gone to silly extremes now like Puggles, Sh1ttypoos, Yorkiepoos etc. they are basically just moneymaking names for the sake of ££££.

Cockerpoo's have been around for decades yet still have no standard. The labradoodle started in the late eighties, to
create a allergy free service dog. It was a total disaster
the offspring had the wrong temperment/coats etc. The guy who started it gave up and tried to sell the crossed dogs as labrador/poodles mixes.

No one was interested so he made up the name labradoodle and instantly people wanted this 'new breed' of dog. BYB's quickly realised that by making up silly names for crosses they could make loads of £££ by claiming they had a 'new breed' - many people fell for the lies sprouted by the so called 'breeders' - 'soon to be recognised! Best of both breeds! Healthier than a purebred dog! Allergy free! unique! Cute! etc. The guy who started this now regrets it for the trend he started!

Sorry but the Labradoodle/goldendoodle/cockerpoo are bred for no purpose but money! I've seen a few of them and the owners always sprout the usual nonsence I gave above, fed to them by the 'breeders'. Not that alone they spent twice the price my mother paid for her so called 'sick, inbred, stupid' pedigree golden retreiver. Funny, he's not sick, inbred nor stupid!'

I don't hate mixes (before the SNOB! comments come), but intentionally breeding them i do hate! Unless there is actual true purpose for the mix (alaskan husky,lurcher) etc. The labradoodle was a failure but the trend it created wasn't...

Cute & unique (making £££!) do not warrant breeding (all dogs have unique temperments/personalities anyway! Why would a crossbreed be any more unique?!). My husky has his own unique personality as does the womans husky who lives up the road!

'Tis enshrined in our language.

Er, whats wrong with a pushed in "nose" - isnt a "snout" what a pig has!!!! I dont run your choice of dog down!!!!!

crossbred dogs are great but so are pedigree dogs..I've owned mutts ,cross breeds and purbreds...

but no matter what your prefrence is ...

all that matters is you give your dog your heart and they'll give you theirs

no matter their shape size color breed...they dont care about our shape size color rather were smart or dull.. so why should it matter to us.

I know, my OH's sister is a serial offender of this pays huge amounts for a dog only to get rid of it 8mths later as she wonders why the dog isn't doing as she said, mind you they are better off out of her care, she randomly feeds them, when we talked to her we use to go over and I would throw food out for them, they were starving poor animals.

The price people pay means nothing, it is the intention the person has when obtaining the dog that matters, my 'free' dog, has now cost me about the price of 3 pedigree dogs, but he is mine and he deserves the best and I will give him that, they aren't throw away items, they are our best friends and our secret keepers .
Those who don't value what animal they do have is the crime, not the pedigree, bitza, whatever you want to call your dog, mind you don't get offended if I laugh at some of the names call my dog what you want, at the end of the day the fact it is my dog that counts to me

Let's hope that these ****** on here digest what you have said because several times I have said the same and all they do is pick arguements on the other points I've put when at the end of the day what you've written above is all that matters, surely???

It would also be hoped you can grow up a little and learn, that everyone is entitled to voice their opinion, and hold a view on any given subject...without you resorting to abusive name calling... twice on one day, you are really letting yourself down.

I suggest then that all the people on these threads that have been so argumentative against MY VIEWS also get the same message. I am entitled to MY opinion as are everyone else and none of us have to agree with each other - FACT. I am not letting myself down but I would be if I didn't adhere to my principles. As for rudeness, I think the person who was so insulting on page one about peole with bad grammer and spelling has the award for the rudest person on this thread...disgraceful!

And you take a very well placed second.


People are entitled to disagree with you, you are entitled to disagree with them.. that what forums and debates are for... but you are not entitled to use innuendos to insult people.

There is no need for that kind of response, the ** dont hide what you mean, all the does matter is that people respect other people's opinions, they can disagree with them till the cows come home.. its not a case of one opinion mattering and all the rest dont.

So yes, you have let yourself down, by behaving like a spoilt child ,because no one is agreeing with you.
