Just wondering if anyone has one of those mixed breed dogs that are becoming very fashionable here in New Zealand, several people are setting themselves up as breeders to make heaps of money.

I myself have a little Maltese X, but I got him before all this flood of designer dogs.

I hate to think of any puppy farms out there!!

I'm not sure I understand what it is Flossie...but are you saying that breed certain kinds of dogs just to make a buck regardless of the breed and what it does to the animal? Puppy mills? I hope not...Oh I hate that!

Are you talking about dogs like the Labordoodles? Poodle and Lab mix?

We have a cockapoo. She's part cocker spaniel and part poodle. But it's not because we wanted a designer dog. We just fell in love with the breed because they are hypo-allergetic. Hubby and one son are allergic to cats, dogs and horses, but not cockapoos. How cool is that?

There is a host of these mixed breeds now and they have become so popular that people here think they can make some money....and yes JJ puppy mills are operating because of the of the need for these puppies.

Hybrid dogs can have alot of health problems too.

Check this site for the 100s of different crosses. Must admit though.....they are cute!
