A friend of my auntie's came over to visit my gran today. She hasnt seen Zach before and asked what breed he was, she doesnt know much about dogs. I said he was a mongrel, a mix of three breeds from an accidental litter.

"Oh, well," she said "my friends have two new designer dogs, they paid £1000 each for them! They are a mix of Chihuahua and Daschund. These designer dogs are very popular now, the people who sold them to her said in a couple of years she could breed from them and make a bomb..."

Forgodsake, why are people so gullible? You attach the term "designer" to anything and people are willing to pay a grand for it!
