Interesting Facts About Popular Designer Dogs.

Most of you are wondering about what the Heck is a Designer Dog? and why are they so much popular in western countries?  In this Article we cover lots of facts about popular designer dog breeds. If you are looking for the definition of designer dog on Google, then you might be landed on this top Urban Dictionary definition from 2008. “Designer Dog -What irresponsible backyard breeders and puppy mills call mutts and sell for exorbitant amounts of money.” It seems that many of the definitions found on the site follow suit. But, is there more to it? Are designer dogs more than just mutts with hefty price tags? Well, how did the designer dog trend start? Throughout human history, man has bred dogs to achieve offspring good at performing specific tasks. From hunting dogs to herding dogs, most of the purebred dogs we know today are indeed mixes of other dogs either still around or extinct.

Before the term “designer dog” came into vogue, there was the Cockapoo – a hybrid breed that came into popularity in the 1960’s. This breed is the combination of a Cocker Spaniel and a Poodle. He’s been quite the popular pet known for his intelligence and affection. Nowadays, the Cockapoo breed is considered one of the founding fathers of the “designer dogs”, but the term doesn’t appear until decades later. That honor goes to the Labradoodle, which as the name suggests is a cross between a Labrador Retriever and a Standard Poodle. The Labradoodle is often cited as creating the “designer dog’ craze with a little help from the media. The Labradoodle became known in 1988, when Australian breeder Wally Conron crossed the

Labrador Retriever and Standard Poodle at the Royal Guide Dogs Associations of Australia in Victoria. Conron wanted to combine the low-shedding coat of the poodle with the gentleness and trainability of a Labrador retriever, to provide a guide dog suitable for people with allergies to fur and dander. The resulting dog was a success. Labradoodles are now widely used around the world as guide, assistance, and therapy dogs, as well as being popular family dogs. The name Labradoodle, like Cockapoo, is a portmanteau, a word created by smashing two words together. It’s become the norm in designer dog naming. 

One such purebred dog with mixed breed roots is the Rat Terrier. The Rat Terrier recipe ended up with more than seven ingredients, including Smooth Fox Terrier, the now-extinct Old English White Terrier, Manchester Terrier, Bull Terrier, Whippet, Italian Greyhound, and Beagle. Yet, the Rat Terrier is considered a breed and recognized by the American Kennel Club and the United Kennel Club. It seems that every combination of dog imaginable has been tried. We’ve got Puggles (Poodle and Beagle Mixes), Chiweenies (Chihuahua-Dachshund mixes), Beago (Golden Retriever mix with Beagle) and everything else imaginable. While Poodles are often one of the two parents (mostly for their intelligence and no shed coat) it seems that no two dogs are off-limits to be designer dog crosses. Currently, the fad has slowed, especially compared to its height in the 1990’s. But it’s still alive and well. One of the newest designer dogs to hit the scene is the Pomsky. This cross between the Pomeranian and Siberian Husky created in 2012 has swept the Internet. The puppies are adorable, no doubt. So, I guess you're asking, “What’s the difference between a designer dog and a mutt?” A mutt, also referred to as a random-bred dog, results from breeding different purebreds or other mixed-breed dogs together. The dogs have no pedigree, and usually are the result of accidental matings. It’s difficult if not impossible to predict what these puppies will look like or how they’ll behave.

Mixed breed dogs make wonderful pets, though. They are a popular choice for pets all over the world. The term “designer dog” refers to a hybrid. Hybrids are created by combining existing breeds to form new ones. They are intentionally paired usually and the heritage of the parents is known in a true designer dog. Breeders dedicated to establishing the variety as a true breed work to establish a predictable type, working with several generations of dogs. But the line between the two is not always so well defined. The designer dog label today is used to market hybrid dogs, which may (or may not) be more healthy, cute, trainable or any other fill-in-the-blank claim. Puppy mills jumped on the designer dog bandwagon to create boatloads of interesting mixes they sell for high prices, all with the portmanteau style names. Sometimes it seems that the name is more important than breed comparability or desirable traits

of the resulting dog. “Oh, those two names sound cute smashed together, breed it.” Shelters have even gotten in on the action. Shelters sometimes label mixed breeds as a designer breed to promote adoptions. Conron’s misgivings were not about creating the Labradoodle. This designer dog has been a wonderful service dog, proving not only great at being a guide dog for the blind but as a helping companion for people with all types of physical and mental handicaps. His misgiving seems to stem from the fact that living creatures have become a fad, that designer dog breed names were being used as a marketing ploy, and that labels were more important than the dogs’ well being. So, what do you think? Do you share Conron’s concerns? Are designer dogs just high-priced mutts? Let’s discuss it in another great Article.

Amazing Historical facts about Golden Labrador and Golden Retriever!

Are you looking for a lovable family companion?. Retrievers are some of the most popular breeds in and make a good choice. But how do you choose between a Labrador or a Golden? They’re both incredibly similar, sharing intelligence, athleticism, and a goofy personality that dog lovers love! Let’s find out what these two amazing retriever breeds have in common and their difference. The Labrador Retriever descends from the Saint Johns Water Dog, a now extinct breed that originated in Canada, bred to help fishermen drag their nets across the ice and retrieving fish, beginning in the 1700s. The Saint Johns dogs were exported to England sometime in the early 1800s to be used as hunting retrievers. It’s in England where the Earl of Malmesbury was the first to use the name Labrador, after the Labrador region of Canada. In Newfoundland, the Saint Johns breed disappeared because of government restrictions and tax laws. Families were allowed to keep no more than one dog, and owning a female was highly taxed, so girl puppies were culled from litters. In England, however, the now Labrador breed survived and thrived, and the Kennel Club recognised the Labrador Retriever as a distinct breed in 1903. Today, the Labrador breed is the most popular dog breed worldwide. While no single person can take all the credit for creating the Golden Retriever, the main person attributed its creation was a Scottish aristocrat and avid hunter named Dudley Marjoribanks the 1st Baron Tweedmouth. Lord Tweedmouth live in the Highlands of Scotland and it is here that the Golden Retriever arose as an independent and separate breed of dog. Marjoribanks was looking for a Retriever that excelled in retrieving from water as well as on land. He also wanted the dog to be loyal and even-tempered in the home. His original cross was a yellow coloured retriever and a now extinct Tweed Water Spaniel. In 1868, this cross produced a litter that included four pups; these four became the basis of a breeding program which included the Irish Setter, the Bloodhound, the St. John's water dog of Newfoundland, and two more wavy-coated black Retrievers. The bloodline was also inbred and selected for trueness to Marjoribanks' idea of the ultimate hunting dog. Golden Retrievers were first accepted for registration by The Kennel Club of England in 1903, as Flat Coats-Golden. They were first exhibited in 1908, and in 1911 were recognised as a breed referred to as Retriever (Golden and Yellow). In 1938, the Golden Retriever Club of America was founded. Check our article on Goldendoodle vs Golden Retriever. Golden Retrievers are ranked number two for American Kennel Club Registrations. As with the Labrador, the Golden is consistently in the top five most registered breeds by the AKC.
