Hybrid Dogs - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Did anyone see the show on the Smithsonian Channel called Hybrid Dogs. I am not sure when this was originally created. I normally don't talk much on here but this show just made me furious. The gentleman they interviewed on there created the pugle. They showed his facility and he has over 300 dogs. Hello puppy mill. To me this was just glorifying puppy mills and mix breeding for profit. It makes me sad to see all those different breeds caged in runs with no human contact.
These animals deserved to be pampered and loved.

I didn't see it and I'm glad. How can people go on television and be proud to talk about their 300 breeding dogs and the profit they make from them? That man needs to spend a few months of his life in one of those cages.

That makes me sad, I have a pug chihuahua mix is was a "mutt" long before mixing became popular - I would never intentionally purchase a pet that was a dilution of two breeds.

300 dogs? That's just sad and disheartening.

The only Hybred I would ever consider would be a bandog. That would only happen if I could not find a well bred, healthy Cane Corso. It is nothing more than a mix of Mollasor such as Neo, Ambull, Corso, Pit. There are a few good breeders, but again, not for the average person. They are strictly working dogs in PP, and catching.
