Scozzie Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I don't know which of the breeds were the mother or father but it still takes some doing without the aid of a step ladder............. I was shocked when I found a 'breeder' for .... not sure if it is Labdachs, or Dachdor. either way, a stepladder would have been needed there too - http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=dachshund+labrador&hl=en&sa=X&prmd=imvns&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&ei=SARnT9vuOubH0QXmgvCeCA&ved=0CDAQsAQ&biw=1280&bih=628 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medusa Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 We saw a GSDxlab the other day and my OH said to me 'is that a Shepador or a Labherd?' to which my answer was, 'no, it's a GSDxlab'. It's one thing having the names to have a laugh at, but although as a first generation cross it's helpful to know what has gone into their make up, they are cross breeds and that's what they should be called. Nothing wrong with a cross breed that will be made better by giving them a silly name. Still, I suppose not a lot is sillier than being a Chesapeake Bay Duck-Tolling Retriever, or a Dandy Dinmont Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

curriechick Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 That's what I couldn't understand, years ago people gave away mongrels or cross breeds. I remember an aunts Yorkshire Terrier getting out of the house in season and was mated with by the next doors dog who was some sort of cross terrier and she had 3 lovely little puppies and my uncle was going to drown them, but my mum let us have one and found homes for the other two and ours was a lovely little dog, followed us kids everywhere. Now I suppose she would give them a fancy name and make a fortune with them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leah-Lacie Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Other than the fact that for some reason people will pay silly money for them sometimes more than a full pedigree I've seen 'jugs' - JRT (£200ish) x PUG (£700ish) - £1000 Labradoodles I've often seen sold for £700 If people want to pay it let them, if they're daft enough. Theres nothing that makes a pedigree worth more than a mongrel really is there, unless you want to show or breed. I just worry that some people actually think these fancy crosses are a real breed...

curriechick Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 But don't most pedigree dogs have some inherant problems, such as hips with Labradors and German Shepherds? and if so surely breeding two pedigrees with different problems the offspring have a good chance of inheriting both problems?

fabcakes Posted March 19, 2012 Author Share Posted March 19, 2012 not with out-breeding you help to eradicate the problem its also been discovered that a lot of these designer breeds are inheriting medical problems now i can't remember witch breeds it was but they was talking about it on crufts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
