weirdest cross breeds you have come across?!

I think that hollieeb's post could actually help the dog! there may be someone on here that sees it and decided to rehome him/her. Didnt see anywhere where she praised or supported puppy farms, just someone taking an interest in the dogs she sees waiting to be rehomed and have been rescued. Nothing wrong with that. She didnt breed the dog, or work for a breeder like that so leave the poor girl alone.

Agreed, I would have definitely been interested in that dog if I didnt already have 2 and a house move in the next two weeks.

Can someone point me to the henious, 'cruel' personal attacks on the 'poor girl'? Because I am just not seeing them.

I think the fact is she was trying to create a light hearted thread regarding interesting cross breeds, she was then jumped on about puppy farming and dodgy cross breeding for which I am probably partly responsible, that is for the debate not the actual dodgy cross breeding of dogs. Not necessarily personal attacks but certainly attacks on what she was trying to do, which was actually quite nice!

I agree totally. No one mentioned any "cruel personal attacks" just said that she should not be criticised for what she is doing and did say
 
She was having a bit of fun with the post, so what she made up a name for a cross bread? its a laugh! I think her name sounds much nicer then saying 'mongral' dont you?
I dont understand why you would all waste your time critising her for what she's doing because she has done nothing wrong! I like your cross bread name! :)
 
no-one mentioned cruel personal attacks! I did get accused of supporting puppy farming though which was a bit upsetting as I dedicate a lot of my time to my dogs and other peoples. Puppy farming is cruel and no-body should support it.

I have nothing against people saying their opinion on here- thats what its for. but when the opinion has nothing to do with my original post AND I have had this all before Last time I posted, I really cant be arsed!! :)
 
I can't see where anyone criticised the OP directly or was 'spiteful' or 'cruel' - yes, people HAVE said that on this thread, just read it back. Just some strong view on puppy farming (most of MT's dogs) come from puppy farms and dodgy breeding practises.

The more views and comments this thread gets, the more likely MT is going to get an audience for it's website and dogs so I wouldn't be complaining TBH and I definitely would not stop posting Hollie, if it's what you believe in then you need to be strong about it x

Whether the dogs at the particular rescue centre come from puppy farms or not they still need homes dont they so still not sure why this took a negative turn.
 
some people on here are so small minded :) I wouldn't give negative opinions on a rescue unless you know fully about it and have visited it.
 
Some people on here run rescues, they dont visit rescues or occasionly help they are at the sharp end and to call them small minded is very unfair and uninformed. Im sure if you saw what they had to deal with day in and day out you might have some understanding of where they are coming from, for me they have my utmost respect and admiration.

okay definatley deleting this when I get home tonight. At no point did I say People who run rescues are small minded, why would I do that?! I admire the people who run rescues I think they are amazing and extremely dedicated. I know what they go through every single day I have witnessed it for myself (not EXPERIENCED it before you all start, witnessed!!!)
 
I have a rescue Lab x GSD think he must be 2nd gen X as he looks just like a lab but bigger! slightly longer muzzle, slight slope to the back end, but mainly taller. i never realise how much hes not like a lab until i see him next to one!

And a man i work with has a Sprocker (springer x cocker spaniel) and hes called Sprocket :)
 
Hollie, caaaalm down and stop stropping. This is life, not everyone agrees, if you post a thread with a title like that you are going to get a range of views.

I have tried to be supportive and encouraging but you others choose to misinterpret the posts of experienced members (not me, I hasten to add, I am still learning, aren't we all and to be honest, I cannot cope with a lot of the personalities involved in rescue and the subsequent fallout - it can be a very bitchy world where people forget about the dogs themselves) and accuse anyone who doesn't go 'aww, cute puppy' as cruel, spiteful etc - all words used in this thread and others as small minded. Thanks.

People I know in rescue last week lifted a skinny puppy repeatedly reported roaming, once in the van, the apparent 'owner' gave chase, jumped in his car and rammed their van off the road, threatened them, removed the puppy and they had to go to the police and report it all. Can you cope with stuff like that if you can't cope with differing views on an internet forums? Going and keeping an eye on fairs/markets where there are people from certain communities selling poorly or stolen dogs? Pretending to be a buyer to infiltrate a puppy farm? Putting dead dogs in a bodybag? Dog rescue is not a nice place sometimes.
 
Jeeez, Just read through the rest of this thread. I thought horsey people were highly strung, opinionated and self rightous....... Not as much as doggy people evidently:))

I have a rescue staffy x lab, jokingly called a 'staffador'! :p

My friends dog is a lab x staffy but she calls it a 'labradaffy' because it sounds cuter :D
The strangest and i must say, most ugly cross i've come across is a great dane x poodle. I felt sorry for those little pups :( i love both breeds, i had a great dane from the age of 3 and she was my best friend, currently have a mini poodle and love her very much. i think both breeds look stunning, but not as a mix :(
I don't know what you would call them.... Great Poos ???? or Poodanes?? :D
 
When we were still in the UK we wanted to adopt a Doberman from a rescue centre to fill the void left by the death of our beloved old girl. We drove several hours to look at a promising sounding prospect, but was quite surprised that the promised Dobie X possibly a Basset, turned out to be perfect Dobe coloring, on a perfect Basset body, :eek: I was laughing at him, not with him. The journey wasn't wasted though, I fell in love with the badly made hearthrug in the next door pen and eventually adopted Muttley, the Heinz 104, certainly more than 57 varieties there.

I was genuinely shocked when I moved here to Canada, and found so many cross breeds, with or without designer names, being advertised for huge money, and when they are listing 4 breeds in the description I just shake my head.

Seriously, I found my first horse out here on the local online ads, he cost me $800, the next ad was for a Yorkie Poo, and they wanted $1000 for that:eek:
