*grins*, now if it were only legal to fire my ACTUAL cannons up lol.
now heres something i DONT understand
that is the "maltipoo"
and theres a poodle...
is it me or do the 2 breeds look almost identical, what the heck is sooo wrong with owning a poodle that we as a race feel the need to mix in other breeds to produce a dog that LOOKS like a poodle, ACTS like a poodle (form what ive seen thier personalities are almost identical) and is essentially a poodle with a new name?!
mixing the maltese in with a poodle does absolutly NOTHING! i can forgive if a a mix has been used for a purpose (ie farmers purposely mixing breeds to get the best working dogs for them, though i dont condone it, or the assie labradoodle was originally started with good intentions for a purpose) but to create a mutt that looks, acts and is essentially the same breed as one thats already around?! is there HONESTLY a point?
serioulsy OP, just do yourself a favour buy a black poodle, and dont shave it into a poodle cut and tada...a "maltipoo" youll probably save yourself a good $500 by buying a well bred poodle, not to menation the health care savings. ive seen black toy poodles around the $500-$800 mark, maltipoos in the shelter $50-$100 and maltipoos from a "Breeder" $1000-$1600...
big difference there dont ya think?!
