whats the weirdest cross breed you have seen/heard of/etc

when I stayed at an animal rescue in wales for a few days in summer there was a 'Bullshit' that came in :D well apparently thats what its called! :rolleyes:

Bull dog + shih tzu= Bullshit :))))

when I first saw her I couldn't help but laugh she was so unusual looking but so sweet! pictures here:

I wanted to take her home!!
 
I really don't get this, mix a mongrel's breed names up idea!

My friend has a shire x thoroughbred horse, she doesnt call it a shiroughbred...
 
did I say puppy farming was funny??? No, so please dont imply that I did. I am very involved in a rescue center that focuses on stopping puppy farming.
I was just interested to see if anyone else had come across a strange cross breed. I wasn't saying the name was funny either- the name is made up OBVIOUSLY i know that??

I just wanted to share this sweet dog with others
 
This dog is so sweet. If I didn't have 2 small dogs already I would definitely be calling up. I also have 2 cross breed dogs which were both bred the way they were to produce a healthier dog and neither came from a puppy farm just nice homes who wanted to breed healthy happy dogs. Mongrels or not they are lovely dogs and some of the names are quite funny.

Sorry, the centre you help does nothing to help stop puppy farming.

and how would you know that? have you met the owners, have you been there? have you experienced it for yourself?

I've been involved in rescue for over 30 years.
I have helped close or prevent planning for puppy farms and have assisted with clearing such places rather than enabling them to continue.
 
just going to delete this once I get home as cannot do it from my phone
fed up with posting on this forum in my spare time and all I get is nasty adults being spiteful. im 17 and know better than that!
 
Why can't people just be nice, its a sweet dog!! Its not like this girl put a post up supporting puppy farming?!?! Regardless of where the dog came from it still needs a home, not sure why what started off as a nice light hearted post has turned into a negative competition over who helps dogs more!!!
 
Hollie, no need to delete. If you fancy a future in rescue a thick hide is the first thing you will need.
Just because not all the answers were 'awwww, cute' does not mean people were being nasty - they can just see the bigger picture, which maybe you will one day when you're older and been in it a bit longer - you'll have to deal with a lot worse than that if you decide rescue is your bag.

It is great that you are volunteering and I understand the need to share the love a bit, but some people who have been involved for longer than you have been on this planet, are a bit more cynical and jaded about the whole thing - there are just as many 'personalities' and pitfalls and big fat slaps in the face in animal rescue as there are in any other sphere of life.

Very little I have ever come across in dog rescue was ever 'nice', just plain depressing mostly :(

ALL dogs are cute, ALL dogs are nice. Saying it won't make the huge storm of overbreeding and dead dogs go away.
 
I understand, however every time I post on here I get spiteful comments in return.

I can most definatley see the bigger picture and I do not think every dog in a rescue is 'nice'. I travelled 4 hours to wales to help at many tears. I stayed there for 3 dogs, worked from 6am-5pm every day while it was bucketing down with rain and I enjoyed every second of it.

I just wanted to post about this lovely dog and others experiences with cross breeds. dont know how this has turned into a debate about many tears AGAIN.

s4sugar if you are so dedicated to rescues then why cant you just appreciate all the hard work everyone does to help give these dogs a home.
 
Hollie I am sorry you think you only ever get spiteful replies and I am glad you enjoyed your experience at MT.

MT is a well supported organisation in terms of funds, volunteers and fosters. Their website gets tonnes of hits.

The places who could do with *loads* more help are the smaller local rescues and the pound dogs, just around the corner from all of us, and the people who network and help spring dogs from the pounds - the one near me, the dogs have FIVE days before they are rehomed, sold or PTS.
 
I think that's a very cute looking dog :) Don't see why some people feel that they have to start being spiteful whenever they see a positive post about crossbreeds. And why would hollieb support puppy farming? I think it's pretty obvious that she doesn't...
 
*last post is meant to say 3 days not 3 dogs!! stupid phone :rolleyes:

Thankyou Flaxenpony05 and Emilynuttal! I love cross breeds! I have a lab x collie and my friend has a lab x lurcher he is gorgeous! used to have a 'sprollie' (spaniel x collie) <3
 
also to people who think Im being naive and trying to be patronizing towards me just because im 'young': Maybe you should be supporting the younger generation who are volunteering and spending their time with animals- rather than going out to parties.

Cavecanem- obviously I help and support local charities too, but my friend got her dog from MT and is v.involved with the organisation so therefore I get opportunities to go there and fund-raise etc which is all experience and helps with my career in the future as I hope to get into fundraising or event management.

I purposely did not mention MT in my post because when I posted about them last time I got some very nasty comments. I was just sharing the wonderful cross breeds there are out there who need loving forever homes, thats not too bad is it?!
 
I have no problem with mutley mongrels but Hollieeb I'm afriad I think that is one of the ugliest little dogs I have ever seen! Poor little mite, I'm sure she has got a great personality. (hope so anyway!).

OP quoted just in case you forgot what you posted originally.
Not an appeal to go & rehome a dog in rescue, any rescue, but a puppy farm inspired query. No one with the interest of the dogs in mind uses made up names -they are the province of dealers and disreputable breeders. The dog you linked to is cute but is not what you claimed - a French Bulldog is not a bulldog - and she is a cross breed not a "silly made up name".
Why is she more in need of a home than the thousands of dogs closer to where you live?
What is her history for her breeding to be known?
Why hasn't a small young dog already found a home?

No one has patronised you or been spiteful but instead have pointed out a few truths. Learn to look past the cutsie websites and fairy tales and work out just why a rescue does not report sources where they repeatedly get ex breeding dogs in poor condition from...


The dream of almost all rescues is to stop the mass production of puppies and to be able to close down but for some that would mean a permanent drop in income.

Your posts really have no relevance at all to my post so I really have no idea how to reply!

ahah some reason I always find the strange looking ones cute. she's gorgeous!
 
That is the oddest looking dog I have seen looks almost photoshopped - poor thing, I do hope that was an accident and someone didn't think "hey, let's try this one!!".

I have no clue what mix my dog is - some breed with massive great ears in there somewhere and I imagine something terrier blood and collie blood. They seem the most notorious for getting out there and sowing their seeds with whatever they can! ha ha :)

You shouldn't feel you are being picked on - I got your post and I don't think anyone who truly knows about dogs and who has ever taken on a rescue supports puppy farming and I think it's great you're helping at the rescue. The problem is educating these people who do think these 'cool' crossbreeds are worth the hundreds of £s that these back street breeders ask for. I am hoping that someday this trend of stupid designer crosses will die out like any other fad but it will no doubt be replaced by something else. :(
