What about staffies ?
What breed are you havin next?

I do like staffies lol

I like most dogs really.

Depending when and what my circumstances are but my next breed will either be a retired greyhound or a spaniel.

This is the rough coated Puggle I found, now I know some of you are going to say AHHHH he's cute, but he cant be a Pug and Beagle cross not with that coat

he looks a bit border terrier ish to me.

I'm not getting a puggle! lol I've decided!

You Go Girl. As I said you looked into the breed not like some people who just see a cute pup pic and automatically buy.

i think they are very cute. if you like them them go for it. just cause its not pedigree it doesnt mean it not a good dog. at the end of the day a dog is a dog theres too much talk on just because they are not pedigree they are not a great dog. so what if its a mongrel. designer dogs are coming out now and no ones going stop it.

But people can stop it by education!!!! imo Most of these Designer Breeders are only in it for the money, so no sale -no Money

If one wanted to get a Puggle then that's upto them (or any other type of x breed). But, we all know that 2 different breeds of pedigree dogs mixed together can mean more health issues. All breeds have their own health issues. So when buying both a full pedigree or a x breed, you really should make sure all the right health tests have been done... but like Jackson said, probably most x breed breeders don't even bother doing health tests.

For £1000 you can get a pure bred Pug.

I personally wouldn't buy a x breed. I think they charge way too much for non health tested pups/parents. I could probably go and buy a pure bred dog with health tests for less money.

But, if I was looking to rescue a dog, I certainly would rescue a cross breed.

i think they are very cute. if you like them them go for it. just cause its not pedigree it doesnt mean it not a good dog. at the end of the day a dog is a dog theres too much talk on just because they are not pedigree they are not a great dog. so what if its a mongrel. designer dogs are coming out now and no ones going stop it.

Yes, they are very cute. Like I said before, I really don't think people should just get a dog/certain type of dog because they look "cute". There's a hell of a lot involved when taking on a dog. It's not all about sitting there looking at it and how sweet it is and telling everyone what a sweet puppy you have got, it's bl**dy hard work! After all the stress that can come with training pups etc, you'll probably forget how cute the damn thing is after a while lol.

I don't think people are saying because it's not a pure pedigree dog that it isn't a good dog, what they are trying to say is these x breeds are never health tested. So they have 2 different parents, who are known for their own health issues. So they could end up with health issues from both sides. If that happens, it's ALOT to take on... and can cause alot of hurt and cost alot in vet bills.

I doubt people are thinking eww cross breeds are bad/horrid dogs, it's nothing like that. It's the breeders who I think we are "annoyed" with, because of their irresponsible behaviour when breeding these cross breeds. Because most of the time it's for the money.

That is exactly right. Please dont think poeple on here are against the dogs, we all love dogs. Its the lack of ethics behind the breeding we are up in arms about.

I haven't seen one post that says because they are not pedigree they're not a great dog, if you actually read the thread most be say the opposite actually. I have one pedigree and two crossbreeds, they are all great dogs. I fail to see how anyone can take offence to threads like this, read them in the context they are meant instead of reading more than is there.

What gets me is the fact alot of these cross breeds cost more than health tested pedigree breeds.. There are soo many crossbreeds sitting in rescue centres aswell

i wonder if these labradoodles need clipping like poodles.

 

[Guest]

They have there own Rescue and are in URGENT need of fosterers,transporters and homecheckers I think it's dreadful because the "breed" is fairly new.So people are taking them on without doing research.This is s true with many breeds.

Also found this from the same site,
The Allergy Myth l Labradoodle Rescue UK

Allergy Friendly?

So you have allergies or asthma and would like a dog that won’t make you ill? You know that some dogs, like poodles, are described as hypoallergenic (low allergy), and you have seen an advert for labradoodle puppies saying that they are “allergy friendly and suitable for people with allergies”. Maybe this would be the right dog for you?

The answer, unfortunately, is that the advert, in most cases, is simply wrong.

Due to the variations in coat of the labradoodle, from wiry through to fleece, it is very hard to predict what sort of coat that cute fluffy pup will ultimately end up with. There are massive variations within a litter, and also, the coat will vary dependant on whether the pup is a first cross (F1) or a 2nd or 3rd cross (F2-3)

No dog is allergy friendly; any dog can cause an allergic reaction, although for the most common allergy to dog hair, a non-shedding breed, such as a poodle is a much safer choice than breeds that shed their coats. A labradoodle may not shed much (like a poodle), or he may shed a great deal (like a Labrador); it’s a dangerous lottery and the severely allergic should, in the most part, stay away.

I don't think they list the dogs needing homes on the website:

We will not be showcasing dogs or providing details of dogs in the care of Rescue on site.

I was refering to the page on thier site 'Dogs Requiring Special Homes' my mistake, I thought they were meaning dogs in rescue, sorry.

eeewthat one dont look good

Poor beggar just passed his/her sell by date. It catches up with us all at some time

Got to admit they are cute pups but I haven't seen an ugly pup irrespective of breed.

I can't really join in on this because I don't understand enough about breeding. I wouldn't choose a puggle, £1,000 puts me off, I doubt I would pay that for a pedigree but I am not sure of today's prices.
