Cross Breeds Knowledge Base
Cross breeds!? Why dont most people like cross breeds, they tend to live longer than pure breeds and have less health problems and also some are very 'cute' Give me your opinions, I'd love to find a dog breeder that breeds cross breeds. I can't go to a shelter, they do home visits and my current dogs needs time to adjust to a new dog entering the home within a day or two they're best friends. If a new dogs is brang in straight away she'll growl and bark. Okay, thanks I agree that cross breeds shouldn't be sold for a large sum of money, All great answers =]
What are some good English Bulldog cross breeds? I LOVE English Bulldogs, Their temperament, their laziness (my job requires a lot of time), and their appearance is something I like. HOWEVER, I can't justify getting one with all their health problems. Is there a cross breed, or maybe another breed that is very similar to an English Bulldog without the poor health?
Why is cross breeding dogs wrong if many popular breeds are a result of it? Aren't Chow Chows the result of mix breeding Somoyeds and Tibetan Mastiffs? If the breeder breeds dogs with good genes why is unethical/irresponsible? There are thousands of homeless animals in shelters, sure, but if that is why mix breeding is wrong then isn't all breeding wrong? I know people in this section can get angry over small things so this is just a question, okay? I don't actually plan on doing this. I prefer mutts from shelters than purebreds or "designer breeds".
how to cross breed different cat breeds? So every so often I visit my Grandparents and they have two very large cats, they are both Siamese and I have just come to learn that they are cross breed with a bobcat I believe? so I myself am curious on how I would come across getting a half bobcat and half Persian cat per say?

What is so wrong with Labradoodles and cross breeds??? I have a labradoodle and I love him to death! He is friendly, bouncy, incredible intelligent and yet with all that he is amazingly laid back at times! We have had people stop us in the streets to speak to him! Some have even taken pictures! But some people think they are inferior to other dogs, that they are just mutts and that it is wrong that they are bred! Well why? They are so gorgeous! Why is it wrong to cross breed dogs???
Why do dog breeders frown upon people who cross breeds? Crossing breeds is actually healthy for the puppies. My guess is that many breeders frown upon it because they are so caught up in the purebred/show circuit, and therefore feel that purebred dogs are better. And I honestly don't see any reason why a mongrel has any more of a chance to end up in a shelter than a purebred dog. A dog is a dog afterall, whether it be purebred or mongrel. I also like purebred dogs very much, but I don't think they are "better" than mongrels. Purebred dogs just look more similar to each other. Both purebred and mongrel dogs are equally good. Opinions?
Can any one give me some info on pug cross breeds pls? I agree with the pugteaser thing does'nt really work!

You see I would love to get a pure breed pug but I have heard that crossbreeding them can lessen the quite severe breathing problems?

What is everyones problem with cross breed dogs? After all most dog breeds started from crossing anyhow so what is the big deal? I think if you love your dog it doesn't matter how many different breeds it is. I also beleive that new breeds should be able to be established my cross is a wonderful one, both her parents were pure bred, I know most of her siblings and they are all beautiful natured and good looking dogs. So all you pure breed dog owners take a chill pill or are you all afraid that a cross breed dog is better looking and more well behaved and smarter than yours?

is it good to have a cross breed belgian malinois than a pure breed malinois? people have said that belgian malinois pure breed puppies tend to be stubborn and very high drive dogs. pain on the neck to train, so i am thinking to have a cross breed belgian malinois to neutralize the effects of the dog behavior, since i love belgian malinois breeds. they also say that belgian malinois are much stronger and protective compared to german shepherds. thanks
Why are some people against crossing dog breeds? Some people say that crossing dog breeds is bad and crosses have a higher chance to end up in shelters. This is ridiculous because crossing breeds is actually GOOD for the puppies. It makes healthier dogs because of something called "hybrid vigor". And why would a cross have a higher chance ending up in a shelter? That makes no sense at all. Some people say a mongrel's puppy's adult temperment is "unknown", but that is baloney. The vast majority of all dogs (mongrel or not) have good temperments if raised properly, and it has nothing to do with whether it's a mongrel or not. I don't see anything wrong at all with crossing dog breeds, and it's actually beneficial to the puppies. Forget about the confirmation shows and stuff, cause that stuff is just nonsense anyways. Comments??
DO people raise certain types of cross-breeds? For example, a 3/4 Boxer and 1/4 Rott cross? I s'pose there wouldn't be much money to be made in that though, would there? People want purebreds so they can show them and have higher vet bills... oh, well.....
What breeds would you say are in this cross-breed dog? http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2541/4026711880_0369ef5e2e_m.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2527/4026711920_8b16b5ac3d_m.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2733/4026711892_31f8d7a35c_m.jpg yep he has lab in him, most people see the lab but not the other breed. he belongs to my brothers mother-in-law. lol so far no one has gotton the other breed. His parents were both labXpoodles (or labradoodle as BYB call them) his owners despite my warnings were fooled but the poor excuse of a breeder who bred him and they are now very dissapointed that they have a dog that doesnt look or act like they wanted. http://www.flickr.com/photos/34034564@N03/4026775576/in/set-72157621883538956/

allergies with cross breeds? My husband has allergies and I'm a dog lover so I'm trying to accomodate us both. I had a Weimeraner for a short time and at first he would get full blown attacks but if i kept her off the couch and the windows open it would be tolerable. We're getting a house and I'm hoping I can get a dog again. I found a beagle/sharpei mix and a shepherd/beagle mix thru a rescue. Does anyone know if a cross breed would be better with allergies or is it just a hit or miss? I heard that pugs, and sharpeis produce alot of dander and can wreak havoc on an allergy sufferer is this true? thanks so much

Are cross-bred dogs safe?
How do you call this type of cross breeding? I have in mind the cross breeding type when the dairy or beef cattle cows are breeded with the bulls of other superior breed. For example you take an ordinary cow and breed it with a limousine bull in order to get cross breed cattle that is of better quality. No, it's not cloning. In my language it would be "smother cross breeding" meaning that the unwanted genes do not play any role already in 4th generation.

Would it be inhumane to force the Israelis and Palestinians to cross-breed? It might be a little hard handed to stick all the Israelis and Palestinians in a cage and force them to cross breed, but it could work. Of course, knowing these people, they'd probably divide themselves into Palisraelis and Israelistinians and keep killing each other. Anyone think it's worth a shot anyways?

Could someone please expound on this? Book or e-zine references would be great also. Thanx.

Also a Fantail cross Sarasa Comet, will some have fan-tails, some have long fork tails or what? Will they look ugly? Someone should have experience cross breeding fantails to comets or shubunkin to comets.
A lot of people who cross breed dogs bring up the idea of "hybrid vigor"? Which basically states that the F1 offspring of crossed pure breeds are more genetically sound than either of the individual parents. What do you think about this idea? (My personal opinion is that the argument is based on a very limited understanding of genetics and is in essence, utter crap)
Why have people never cross bred some really interesting looking breeds of dog? I'm not one for irresponsible breeding, but loads of cross breeds are born anyway. And lets face it, looks play a major role in a dog's appeal, and how well they do as a breed or in the show ring. I was thinking, although it wouldn't make a pet what about crossing a wolf and a komondor- you'd get a wolf with dreads! Or cross a wolf with hairless dogs or a bulldog, and then try telling people it's a wolf-dog! Or a hairless newfoundland?
