I'm a dog snob too, sorry!!

I think mixing breeds can lead to too many temperament issues!

My only mongrel is my wee Jack Russell.

I see the government are planning to introduce "dog asbos". I wonder what the Police think of that. Our dog warden, sorry Animal Welfare Officer, is useless - more interested in playing with his agility class than doing what he's paid to do. The Police were more concerned about the dog that killed or chooks than the chooks. When I said I wanted the dog put down, the policeman said it was a shame for the dog. Which it is, but my chooks were dead and he didn't seem too bothered about them.

Because there are stupid idiots to buy them who think they are getting 'hybrid vigour' or hypo allergenic hair.  No such thing!  If you breed a Lab with hip dysplasia to a poodle with hip dysplasia - guess what you get?  A labradoodle with severe hip dysplasia!  If you breed a healthy Lab to a healthy poodle waht do you get - probably from a litter of 6, one hypo coat and 5 non.
Always have been, always will be, a WYSIWYG - black is black, white is white - no grey in my life! But I'm mellowing in my old age
