'Westipoos' and 'Yorkipoos' - WTF?!

[Taffyhorse]

Bit of a head desk I think - Toy poodle registered as a stud producing 'westipoos', 'yorkipoos', 'cockerpoos', 'papipoos' - basically if its got a 'poo' at the end of it, they'll breed it!!

Oh and not forgetting the toy variants either...

Good old preloved! Guaranteed to bring heads in contact with desks on a regular basis.

I'm gosmacked at how many 'poo' breeds you can get from one dog!!!

I don't touch preloved anymore - it's just not worth it. The same goes for gum tree.

However, beign as pedantic as I am

basically if its got a 'poo' at the end of it, they'll breed it!!

I would not like a dog that had poo at the end of it. I'd at least like it to start off clean

He's earned them thousands of pounds if those prices and the number of covers is correct.
I am missing a trick going out to work

 

[MurphysMinder]

Floofypoos anyone?

 

[lq22]

Don't know what the market is like for poodle x shitzu

 

[CorvusCorax]

MM, Shepadoodles are already in existence!!!!

Floofypoos anyone?

Ahahahahahah! How big are the PAWS going to be?

I would think a standard poodle x shepherd would actually make a cracking working dog.

 

[CorvusCorax]

The coats are ridicilous though, they would need totally clipped out.

I immediately thought coat issues as well. Bumped into the local goldendoodle this morning, he's turning into a lovely dog but his owner likes his coat long and has never had him clipped, he's got big swooshy curtains like an Afghan hound but with a thick uneven wave to it, must be matt central, he makes me feel itchy.

 

[MurphysMinder]

Yeh, curls and a GSD undercoat, not fun.

BC how is Ricoh?

 

[blackcob]

He is 99% there, had his last antibiotic yesterday, no snot for about 4 days now, fingers crossed we've nailed it. Thank you for asking!

Lots of work to keep the mite burden down in the house, long term plan is to have them living outside a lot more, won't be much longer before we can move and make that happen.

 

[MurphysMinder]

That's good news, both that he is improving and the possible house move.

 

[blackcob]

I need to graduate first, don't hold your breath.

One way or another though it's all change this summer, I will have to find a 'proper' job, go house hunting and the 'oss will be moving yards too. Exciting stuff.

A fb friend posted a pic of his "schnauzerlier". Ten days later he was posting asking if anybody wanted it.
I pointed out that any breeder worth thier salt would take it back.
Needless to say, they wouldn't

Westies aren't easy to breed, they have short backs so often have problems getting onboard, so I am guessing poodles are easy to breed with anything, but the original point of the poodle cross was it didn't shed hair. Every dog sheds hair, some a lot more than others. Westies shed and so do poodles but not as much other dogs which is why they need clipping, so don't see the need to cross these breeds.

Hate to say but those puppies are even cute, they are damn ugly.

Shittypoos? It's only a question of time before the bottom falls out of that market.

I was in a meeting the other day and two of the people were discussing their new pedigree puppies. One was a Sprocker, the other a FOXIPOO - which is apparently a Fox Terrier x poodle, who they got from a "commercial breeder" aka puppy farm.

When i was asked what dogs I had, I said mongrels - just like their dogs. Oooh the looks I got! Of course, i could have said a Jaxi and a Welhound! Unfortunately, I was negotiating a £4m contract with the people in the meeting so didn't really feel like I could get on the soap-box about ridiculous crosses, stupid people that buy them thinking they are "pedigree" with silly names and paying three times what you would pay to rehome the same sort of dog from a rescue.

Honestly, a foxipoo - I have heard it all!

 

[MurphysMinder]

You could always suggest they rub their foxipoo with tomato ketchup if it is smelly!

 

[Hexx]

LOL!
