Another mutt breeder in s.dakota

and how in the world does she know they are healthy??? I didn't see any health screen data performed on any of her "breeding stock", that is usually listed right up there with pedigree. Every GOOD breeder knows that there are genetic deffects in every breed and they screen potential parents before breeding so as not to pass them on to puppies. Perhaps she means they are free of worms, and have had puppy shots??????
and TRAINABLE?? I thought all dogs were TRAINABLE, even older ones!!
and thats why she sells them to people who have ready cash over the internet!
WHAT A JOKE!!! and people who pay big bucks for mutts with designer names, don't get me started!!!!!!!!!!!
I love a good mutt, but don't try to convince me these mutts are superior or you know what you are doing!

Ooh sierra must have missed out on that Hybred vigor.... She's HuskyXSheltie and only has IBD, a Bad thyroid, Dementia and a few more minor issues...
After many nights cleaning up puke and #2 I've decided we're going to abandon her at the high kill humane society in the area and go buy a puggle from this breeder....

Nope.
When mixing 2 different breeds of dogs, what is produced is all a craps shoot. There is no standard meaning that out of 3 litters b/n the same sire/dam, all 3 litters could look entirely different & have completely different temperaments.
Af far as musculskeletal issues & other health issues, there is just as high a risk of producing a dog with much worse issues than if it were a well bred purebred as there there is diluting the issues and/or covering them up.
I've got a Shar Pei/Cane Corso mix. Dam was a beautiful Shar Pei around 45-50lbs & stud was a nice looking Cane Corso around 135lbs. My mutt, Wrigley, is around 100lbs, has AWEFUL food & inhalent allergies, battles constant ear infections, has the worst case of severe bilateral hip dysplasia our clinic has ever seen & even the LSU orthopedic surgeon commented on their severity, has bad knees, & his temperament, well let's just say every day is a new day but he is on the chopping block right now as I don't trust him 1 iota with my infant son. And Wrigley isn't alone. Hundreds of thousands of mutts/mixed breeds get the worst of both genetic & temperament issues regardless of the old saying that "mutts are the healthiest of them all". Unfortunately, this just isn't true & their is no evidence to back it up (but there is plenty to dispue it).
IMO, until the whole "my dog makes an awesome dress up fashion accessory" way of thought ends, there will be no end in sight for the small designer breeds. Actually, I honestly don't see an end in sight. I think we are just at the beginning of this whole crappy market due to new registries popping up all over allowing these dogs to be "registered" & what not.
And honestly, look around on this forum itself................numerous people own these designer breeds even on here.

This is just heart breaking. People are destroying dogs lines! Those labs don't even look pure. And that's the human society's or the dog's fault that the dog bite the child? It's the owners fault. Any dog can bite, and with training they should be well behaved. It's not the dogs fault that he was hyper, she probally didn't exercise him.
