I think someone posted this in General - followed by the usual hullaballoo about promoting cross-breeds etc. I think it is great too :)

Yes .... happened as Rosetta said. The video makes a point right near the start, that it's not meant to be a world-wide naming of 'new' breeds. It's just for the purposes of their shelter in their part of the world. They're kind of saying 'Looks like.......'.

It was me who got an ear bashing and I gave some back. I thought it was a great idea to attract attention to dogs that may not otherwise get a look and as I said in the other thread, as long as the usual assessment tools were used to match up dogs and families/homes then that is what really matters. We use cute/fun all the time to attract attention to dogs in need and this is just another spin on that.

:laugh: I like this forum more than the general dog one!

I posted it in general rather than rescue because I thought other dog lovers would find it a sweet story and because the breed names they were giving some of the dogs in Costa Rica were as ridiculous as the ones DOLers come up with every year for the Deshonko BYB Christmas pet thread. I was wrong in my thinking but my thread did encourage the sharing of interesting information regarding the use of the term 'blend' rather than 'breed' and some of the cool work being done by Plan B using this concept.
