Why do people have such a negative attitude toward hybrid dogs and mixed breeds

All breeds were created by people via selective breeding of different dogs. What is the difference?

"All breeds were created by people via selective breeding of different dogs. What is the difference?"

I really dislike this excuse. People who use it just don't get it.

Because these dogs aren't bred for any other purpose than making money. I'd forgive it if someone was actually trying to create a better herding dog, police dog, sled dog -- you know, a dog with a JOB. But these designer dogs are just money-makers. "Good pets" isn't an acceptable reason...there are plenty of "good pets" sitting in shelters, and the hundreds of purebreds that already exist (in addition to being originally created FOR A REASON) also make "good pets".

Yes, the "Labradoodle" was originally created in an attempt to develop a hypo-allergenic guide dog. But, as you say, the chances of getting the "hypo-allergenic" coat (a fallacy in itself, since all dogs shed), is maybe 50-50. SO WHAT IS THE POINT?

When "Labradoodle" breeders are consistently working toward 100% allergen-free coats, and not just making money, I'll consider the purpose behind what they're doing...but it appears to me that most are on the bandwagon for the $$, at this point.

And, no -- the vast MAJORITY of these "breeders" are using untested dogs from questionable backgrounds. No responsible breeder of a purebred would ever sell a dog to someone looking to cross it with another breed.
