Silly general question really, But are there actually any 'mongrels' any more.
When I was growing up, that was what everybody had, some really beauties.
I understand that neuturing is the standard thing now and dogs don't take themselves out for walks.
BUT, surely , technically the 'new' crossbreeds are mongrels, as such.
There seems to be a new one every week. and quite often they are dearer than the pure breed.
Plus, how are they bred after the initial one?? ie. an aquaintance has a cavachon and has bred her with a bichon friese, so those pups can't be cavachons anymore, as they are more bf, but she is still selling them at 700.00??
Do the cross breeds ever have papers from kennel club, how are they proven to be what the breeder says they are?
I love all dogs, so none of this is anti anything, But Its just something that baffles my simple mind. (I do love the labradoodle
