Could it be because it mucks up two breeds that have enough problems of there own so that some one can make an obscene amount of money for a cross breed Val

heres a good reason not to have one of these crossbreeds – groomed a lhasa cross cocker- not only has she got heart problems that nearly killed her she now has allergies poor poor puppy!!! this dog was from someone who breeds these regularly – this was not just an accident or an unplanned litter!!!
there is a huge difference between a f3 labbydoo that has been bred with care and a pet yorkie girlie put to a pet willy poodle with no health checks or care taken just for financial gain – i have a collegue who is working with one – poor lass that she is – it was her mothers 6th litter – sale price £450 :'(
What a lovely picture. I’ve seen two just like that at my local rescue kennel today. The owners were both told that they would be OK for people with allergies – and guess what……….they weren’t! And the owners have lost £400 + £550 respectively. But the kennels willl pick up the pieces and find them good homes soon, I have no doubt.
oh no, he’s not allergy-free! LOL! When he scratches it’s like watching someone peel carrots, except the peels are his fur! I told my husband he reminds me of ‘Pigpen’ from the Peanuts (Snoopy) cartoons, except his cloud is hair not dirt!
Somerset Jayne! There is a breeder maybe 30 miles away who produces them regularly. The more expensive one was booked before the litter was born and the cheaper one was ‘bargain basement’ when she couldn’t sell the rest of the litter. They actually don’t look very similar (one takes after Mum and the other takes after Dad but they both have open coats) and they only found out that they were brothers when a sharp eyed kennel maid checked their records. They had both been reserved when I went in today, but the new owners were told the truth about them. They’ll be OK. 😉
