The very fact that you felt the need to ask this question speaks volumes not only about your intelligence and your diligent search for it, but that your morals and ethics may well be, at the least, underdeveloped if not missing all together.
Re: I don't like ad's like this
Play nice. :taz:
There were a myriad other ways you could have responded to that. Wouldn't it have been better to explain nicely and end up with all readers being more educated about the subject and all its ramifications?

Wow.
Well, I don't know anything about dogs. That said, I know that we put different snakes morphs together all the time trying to create new morphs. When someone creates a new morph, they are usually praised.
What is the difference with dogs? Why can't different breeds be mixed if the result is a new type of dog that someone wants for whatever reason? Isn't this how a lot of the different breeds came about in the first place???
Wilomn, I am guess this is what his question meant. Your knee-jerk reaction insulting someone for asking a simple question speaks volumes about your character. If there is a reason this shouldn't be done, why don't you explain. There are plenty here, including myself, that are not familiar with why there is something wrong with this. Quit acting like a bully, it just doesn't work for you.
Re: I don't like ad's like this
I think the difference with snake morph and "designer" dogs is the huge problem of overpopulation and overcrowding at local shelters and rescues. These "designer" dogs are being purposely bred to be mutts and people are charging hundreds for these glorified mixed breeds. I see mixed dogs all the time get looked over at rescues and shelters because they are just that...mixed breeds. People like purebreds and now..."designer" dogs. Its one thing to breed a new morph of ball python because it is that, a new morph of snake that is now available. Its another to breed for a "puggle" and sell them for hundreds of dollars when there are probably hundreds of "puggles" in shelters across the country destined to be put to sleep because they are only mixed breeds and can't be guaranteed "puggles". Sorry, I have a huge issue with people breeding "designer" dogs.
Re: I don't like ad's like this
I would think mixing diff breeds of dogs is alot like mixing a blood python and ball python or a hogg island boa with a columbian etc. Some people do it, but many will frown on it. Mixing diff morphs of ball pythons is more like mixing a black and a chocolate lab in my opinion...
