Hi
It doesn't matter how people try to justify the Doodle it IS and will remain an mutt until breeders stat to breed dogs that conform to a standard that is set and the breed actually gets recognised. There are enough breeds of dog from all around the world to be able to find one that fits your lifestyle and needs without the need to give your money to someone who 9 times out of 10 has no breeding ethics at all, does not health test..etc.. I can only speak from what i have learned over the net and talking to people from various countries, but Americans seem to be more fixated with breeding dogs that are titled rather than looking at the positve virtues of the individual dog (I dont mean to generalise all Americans, and as i said i can only go by what i know so far) If you plan to breed ANY dogs then you should pick 2 dogs that compliment eachothers faults, are of sound temperment, fit the "type" you are looking to produce NOT on how many titles they have won. Yes it's nice to be able to look at a pedigree and see CH's in there but some of the best dogs are sat at home in front of the fire and will never be shown (For various reasons) Anyway i'm rambling now lol.
Some "designer" breeds over here in the UK.

Now tell me that this isn't a serious problem, and people just "bash" crossbreeds ! The sooner people wake up and realsie that these are nothing other than peoples way of making big money the better.
I own a Staffordshire Bull Terrier and i am in the process of trying to buy myself a Shitzu. I plan on crossing them and making my own designer breed called a Bullshitz which will sum up the whole "Designer" breed situation
