We can have so many "breeds" of
dogs because cross breeding gives us the advantage of flexible breeding allowing
some of our parents to get their well deserved breaks. Also just because
we do have so many options it does not mean we have litters of that particular
Designer breed or even Pure-breed all the time.
Many of our "breeds" are limited to as low as 1 litter per year. There are
periods where we don't even have any puppies available. It is best to
check back to our site often throughout the year to see what is new. Often
when we are finally expecting a litter we will post it on that breed page.
About Crossbred (Designer Dogs)
90% of all dog genetic health problems are
recessive. This means that in order for a puppy to have the health problem,
both parents must carry it. By breeding two dogs of different breeds,
without similar health problems, we are breeding puppies with far less
health problems! Though, we only breed healthy dogs to begin with. If a
health problem could be found in any of our dogs, we would no longer breed
that particular dog.
Crossbred dogs have far less health problems,
(hybrid vigor), and are unique, and a lot of fun! True that the outcome is
not as predictable as a purebred dog, though, we can predict a lot, by
knowing the parents, past litters, and only breeding healthy dogs with great
temperaments to begin with!
Breeding several generations of the
crossbreeds together, may make the crossbreed a "purebred" of sorts, and if
health problems would exist, they could then carry health problems more
often to the offspring if both parents would carry it.
A mutt is defined by a dog with unknown
parents. We do know the parents of our puppies. There are many crossbreed
registries out there, and we register our puppies also. A registry is mostly
a record of pedigree. Which is good to have for any puppy! Every breed was
once bred from two or more other breeds. No breed is a true "purebred"
unless it is a Wolf or something. And Wolves do not make great pets.
