Nothing wrong at all. I've never owned a papered/registered dog - my GSDs were bred by a friend from working lines and my greyhounds have all been retired. The only time I've been given a pedigree was for one of my lurchers!

I think insurance companies ask about the dominant breed as a breed's defects can be transmitted even though the dog isn't purebred - we regularly treat a Shar Pei cross for skin problems and have seen Labradoodles with hip dysplasia.

Love the list of made up dog breeds - I have a small house so the Collapso would probably suit me

l love saying.

A pedigree is just a mongrel that breeds true.

I have a lovely mutt, a "Colliedor"! The people she was rescued from assured us they saw the parents - dad was a Lab, mum was a tricolour collie. Personally, I think the 'breeder' just showed them two random dogs by the look of her...hee hee. Yes it looks like there's some collie and some Lab in there but I've had comments on her parentage ranging from Spaniel to Shar Pei! God knows what they paid for her!

They're called Spanollies!! I think they were one of the 1st "designer crossbreeds" I saw. Grrrrr!!! If only hybrid vigour worked in this instance, but it seems they keep the bad traits of both breeds. My poodle x terrier has bad teeth, a luxating patella and an attitude! But he is gorgeous!

Oh wow I have a designer crossbreed

She is an ace dog!

We had a client come in for her pups 1st vacs.. on regstering the animal I asked for his breed... she replies all excited saying " ohh he's a boxweiler - a mix of boxer & rottie" .. I just replied "So he's a crossbreed!" and just put that in the breed description!

Has anyone noticed on the petplan claim forms now....if you state croosbreed they ask which is the most dominant of the cross?? I think they will be putting their prices up for all these "new cross" breeds soon....or am I being cynical?

It wouldn't surprise me. These designer crossbreeds annoy me soooo much! What is wrong with calling a dog a crossbreed? My mum got our collie x springer 14 years ago from an ad in the paper and she cost £50. These days they would call her a sprollie or something equally ridiculous and slap a massive price tag on her! I just think people are really stupid spending so much money on a mutt. Go to your local rescue centre if you want a mongrel! Rant over.

Ha that is very cool.

I know I am likely in the minority, but taking two breeds, crossing them and calling them something silly and naming it a new breed is a bit dumb to me anyway lol, so I like that!
