[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Best advise - Go to an animal shelter.  They'll have a lot of mixed breed "poos" to choose from.  You don't need a designer dog.  Shelter dogs make the best pets![/quote]

Not the OP but we tried this route and it didn't work for us. We wanted a puppy because my youngest was only four and I didn't want to bring a dog with an unknown past into the house. I went no fewer than five times to the local shelter (WARL) looking for a non-shedding breed puppy. However, every single time I went all of the puppies had already been claimed with a long list of other interested parties if the first family's adoption wasn't approved. I didn't want to wait forever so we did go with a breeder.

As to OP's initial question, I've met many of these "breeds" and there isn't a ton of difference among them other than size -- they tend to be friendly and good family dogs. A larger dog will be harder for kids to walk and also will cost more to groom -- not an inconsequential consideration considering how much I've had to spend on my standard goldendoodle's grooming.

It is ridiculous to assume shelter dogs make the best pets.  If that was true then service dog organizations would not be breeding labs or shepherds or goldens or lab/golden mixes.  The govt and police would not be getting purebreds.  You also can't assume a larger dog costs more to groom.

I had a great shelter dog that was a lab/spaniel mix.  Got him at 8 months and NO behavior issues.   A relative has a horrid shelter dog.  [/quote]

HELLLLO!  Service dogs are not pets.  Neither are goverment and police dogs.  You are really incredibly stupid.

I have a pet, a beagle, from a shelter.  She is a fantastic pet.  A pet.  A member of the family.  At the same time, I am on a waiting list for a service dog, from an organization with a breeding program.  I know the difference between what my pet dog, my rescue dog, is capable of, and what I need a service dog to be bred and professionally trained to do.

Ding-dong.  Stupidest post of the day.[/quote]
