So...a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel crossed with a Poodle and a Bichon.
Without thinking I said "Oh, a Heinz 57 then" to which she replied "No, it's a proper dog breed and it cost me a fortune".
Apparently she paid over a grand for this dog and didn't appreciate me calling it a mongrel, but isn't that what it is?
Is it just me or have people got more money than sense these days, everybody seems to be getting these designer dogs and they're damned expensive.
Think I'll just stick to my Lab
That one sentence jus about sums it up Nicol.
At over £1,000 these so-called 'breeders' are laughing all the way to the bank.
What annoys me is the people who say these crosses are healthier than purebreds, but what they can't seem to comprehend is, if they have been bred from unhealthy parents they will at some point, still have sick puppies, regardless of whether they are pedigrees or crossbreeds.
