What are your favorite mixed breed "names"?

[Scooter]

For those of you who saw the fun in this, thanks. That's all I meant- silly names given to mixed breeds, mutts if you will. I wasn't thinking of "designer breeds" per se. And I think "dorkie" is my all time favorite!

ETA: A cocker/shar pei mix? *cringes* WHY?! Cocker-Pei, Chinese Shar Pei, Cocker Spaniel Hybrid, Cocker-Peis

That is not an attractive dog. Poor thing.

i like bandog & lurcher, but i think a dog should have to earn those titles.

First thing that popped in my head when I read this: What do you call a bandog/lurcher mix??

 

[FoxyWench]

Haha sorry, I didn't mean to come across as a complete downer

I just wanted to remind people to be careful because some people won't get the joke and will take you seriously. Unfortunately, these people exist and in the masses

Personally I'm a fan of the rare and elusive Bernasset and the Coreeler. Please see my siggy if you are curious as to what these breeds look like.

No one meant to personally insult you or anything. You just inadvertently touched on something that's a pretty sore subject here at Chaz ... one that's been discussed here MANY times before. You did ask for opinions and got them, nobody claimed or even implied that you were personally doing anything wrong or were wrong in asking the question. Some people just don't like the whole idea of made-up names. ::shrug::

The "cutesy" made-up names are silly ... but that's not the reason it's a sore subject here.

It's much more the lack of health testing, people jumping on the bandwagon to create "new breeds" when they know nothing about breeding dogs, charging ridiculous prices for what IS a mixed breed dog, people jumping into breeding mixed dogs and marketing them as anything other than what they are ... and only in hopes of making big profits with little concern for the dogs, unscrupulous people claiming these are are legitimate "new breeds", creating fancy-sounding organization names to "register" these "new" breeds and making people think those wholly-created organizations are recognized in any way, claiming "hybrid vigor" when the truth is that it can just as easily go the other way ... with any individual puppy inheriting health problems or undesirable traits from *both* breeds, etc., etc.

In short, it's a whole lot of deception and false advertising. Unfortunately, the "cutesy" made-up names are an integral part of all that bad stuff.

well, when i finally manage to arrange luce's uterus transplant, i'll proceed with my pidoodle breeding program. pit x poodle. hypoallergenic thug dog for the more sensitive criminal.

also waiting in the wings, the shihschnoodlebull.

can i just mention here that it bothers me that cockapoos are not called cockadoodles. because cockadoodle is way funnier.

:rofl1: Oh, yes! Oh, yes! I LOVE the hypoallergenic thug dog notion. And you're right; "cockadoodle" IS way funnier.

 

[Saeleofu]

I don't like the names either.

However, I have called my dog an Argentine Box Terrier before, as his DNA test said he's boxer and scottish terrier, and he's an honorary Dogo Argentino according to my friend :rofl1:

 

[milos_mommy]

I knew a JRT Shih Tzu referred to as a Jack S***

 

[SmexyPibble]

I can't stand them. There's a pet store in Everett with all KINDS of wierd names and wierd looking dogs. I've seen some pretty wierd names out there lately. Dumb people.

Bullshit would have to be my favorite, though.
Bulldog x Shih Tzu.

When I got Lily she had papers from a breeder that said she was a "Morkie" (Maltese/Yorkie mix).... but when anyone asks me what kind of dog she is I always say she is a "Yorkie mix"... I got her second hand and didn't care what she was mixed with... I thought she was adorable...
