Sheridan Posted May 2, 2015 Author Share Posted May 2, 2015 You can charge more money with labels like that. God bless Google searches. Makes everything so much more professional. You could also be charged with fraud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salukifan Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Friends of mine have recently acquired a "staghound" pup from rescue. She is 5 months old and only knee high. I suspect she's as much a IW or Deerhound cross as I am. That wiry coat can come from a range of breeds and neither parent has to have had it. Witness the raft of poodle crosses with it. I'd prefer to see dogs described in terms of temperament, coat and activity levels. A lot more helpful to a potential adopter than an often inaccurate breed ID but I appreciate that labelling dogs as "crossbred" isn't going to find homes as readily as some breed info. Oh and one more thing. If you want to try to ID a dog's breed heritage, start with the top 5 most popular dogs in the area and the most likely to be BYB. That's where the crossbred pups come from.
