its something we all can choose...A large % of so called cross breeds,designer dogs what ever you wish to call them are used as guide dogs...Labrador cross Golden Retrievers and I think they do a very good job don't you.....  |
Of Course it is everybodies choice and I agree,What I don't agree with is calling them designer dogs when they are crossbreeds.What I find even more distressing is the fact that the rescues are struggling,full to the rafters,yet we have Breeders breeding these dogs purely for fiancial gain,I wonder in 5 years time how many of these designer dogs will be dumped and putting ever increasing strain on rescues.With a cross breed like this and a possible litter on the way I would say they have more chance of having inheredited conditions,as both parents are crossbreeds and probably untested for known conditions within each breed.
The guide dogs do a fantastic job,but they are bred for a purpose,they are bred to do a job,unlike the breeders breeding designer dogs,dogs are animals and should be treated as such not a fashion accessory.
