My comments on Reader's Digest article "50 Secrets Your Vet Won't Tell You"
"I hate to break it to you, but your $2,000 dollar designer dog is a mutt. Puppy stores and breeders have created these cute names like Morkipoos and Puggles, and now people are paying $2,000 for a dog they couldn't give away at the pound 10 yeasr ago. Whoever started the trend is a marketing genious."
**laughing**
Yes, the mixed breeds of yesterday are the designer breeds of today. Who knows, maybe some will be bred through a few generations, and will no longer be "designer."
But for now, these dogs are first generation- mom is one breed, dad another- and are generally very expensive mutts. Don't misunderstand- I like them, all the doodles and poos and mini walruses and puggles are lots of fun and very cute. If you want one and can afford it, great! I will be glad to help you care for her.
If you want one and can't afford it, you might check shelters and rescues- there are a lot of very cute mixed breed dogs looking for good homes. And again, I will be glad to help care for them.
Enjoy your pets!
