Designer Dogs
Once upon a time not so long ago, a clever and enterprising businessmen from the dog, got the idea – in extraordinary man must have all original and unique. And if man also the star of show business or is there something else, his belongings, jewelry and a car must also be original. So why these people do not have the original dog?
Designer dogs breeds designed to present an exclusive doggy in the lives of their owners. Uma Thurman poses for the cameras with his favorite pugl (pug and beagle mix), Jessica Simpson got a chic Louis Vuitton for her little maltip (a mixture of Maltese and Poodle), Sylvester Stallone does not descend from the hands of his courageous pugl. The world has gone mad – say the skeptics. Maybe, but, nevertheless, in the USA there is a boom of “designer puppies” – so the media dubbed the dog, obtained by crossing two different types purebred animals. Skeptics also argue that the designer dogs breeds – the same mestizo, which filled our courts, while judges and other dog maltip exclusives answer: designer dogs are descended from two purebred parents of first generation and have all the documents, in contrast to the mestizo who are often of unknown origin. In addition, in the case of designer dog, as they are called in America, hybridization was carried out deliberately in order to get a result very specific properties, or traits the dog.
Basically, “target” audience of these dogs – people who professed a secular and a glamorous lifestyle, which requires to have much exclusives in life. Designer dog for them is a way to express themselves. But, fortunately, not all the time it was in this way, the creators of the very “first” designer breed – labradoodle – had a very good intentions. Noble hybrid labrador and a poodle was born in Australia in the 80′s: breeders wanted to bring the breed of guide dogs for people allergic to wool. Labradoodle’s wool turned a soft, thin, odorless and does not cause allergies. In the late 90′s, these wonderful dogs in all respects – cheerful, sociable, playful and bold – came to America. The combination of sweet temper and Labrador hypoallergenic wool poodle did their job – the breed instantly became a favorite of thousands of American families. Then the price for them was about 2.5 million dollars. Kind of a PR campaign labradoodle held Barack Obama – last year the head of the White House was seriously concerned at the choice of dog for your family. That labradoodle was the primary option in connection with the fact that Obama’s daughter is allergic to wool.
Today in the U.S., there are no fewer than a hundred clubs, dealing with exclusive breeding animals. For example, one of the most respected clubs such – Puppy Haven Kennel-sells about 3 million puppies a year. Their price ranges from 300 to 3000 thousand dollars. True, there are very exclusive and puppies – for 25-35 thousand.
Dog haute couture: against and for
Controversies surrounding the fashionable trends of the dog in the world today are serious. Opponents of conservatives miscall breeders of designer dogs, perverts, mocks the dogs and they say that will never agree to settle next to a hybrid between a pug and beagle – they say, may be too unpredictable behavior of such “pagl. Owners of purebred dogs do not favor design of animals – so, according to American breeders, a hybrid of a Labrador and a poodle can not be considered a new breed, but simply remains a new trend. That’s why cytological organization in no hurry to add to the list of officially recognized breeds labradoodle or cockapoo. The authors of the same designer dogs and their fans believe that it is difficult to find a dog bred and pretty cockapoo (cocker spaniel cross and a poodle) or shnudl (a cross between a schnauzer and a poodle).
And some of their arguments are quite reasonable. For example, an informal but very important advantage of designer dogs is that they are universal: combining features of two representatives of the two pure breeds, they satisfy the needs of all families in which man usually wants a serious dog and a woman – something small and furry.
But the main arguments in favor of designer dogs lie in the fact that most of them are hypoallergenic often more amenable taming by inherit the genes of two different breeds. And one more – so far, however, controversial – the fact that dogs are hybrids derived by crossing the purebred animals in the first generation, are healthier than their purebred counterparts. Disputed facts related to the fact that designer dogs are not recognized by the American clubs “pure” breeds, so the experts do not undertake to make definite conclusions regarding their health. But the fact that designer dogs less prone to diseases of standard rocks has already been tested experience of their owners and are supported by genetics. It is possible to tell that thanking it there were designer dog leashes.
Specialists of the American information center on breeding dogs are advised to be extremely careful when breeding designer breeds – and never cross breed characteristics and which do not suit you. Do not hope for a miracle, it is unlikely in the cross manifest only positive characteristics. Designer Puppies – all the big risk: if their health thanks to the laws of biology were more or less clear what to predict with absolute accuracy is difficult temperament of the dog – do not know what features will be dominant. Therefore, do not try to cross in the home and a poodle pom – the result may be too unpredictable. Leave this matter to the experts.
