This just cracks me up! :roflmao: What in the world are people thinking? When your dog is a "yorkipoo" (yorkie and poodle combined) it is not a purebred. DUH.

I'd love to see those papers...probably printed from home with Publisher or something. :lmao:

4yr Female Purebred Yorkie-Poo with papers.

Black Purebred Female Yorkie-Poo with papers. Her name is Bella. She is spayed. Only 10 pounds and 4 years old. Completely house broken. Well behaved. Loves to play, but also is a great lap dog!! Loves affection. She is a great dog for those with allergies. She never sheds!

Has all shots, and vet check up is up to date. Is WONDERFUL with kids and other dogs. We are moving and cannot keep her. We want to find her a good loving family to adopt her. Comes with bed, food, leashes, toys, etc.

Asking for a small rehoming fee. $100.

It is probably something like the UKC Registration. Show them a picture and a date of birth and they will register anything that remotely looks like a dog! If you want a mutt, why not just go to the shelter a take a pup off of their hands?

I have a question...Aren't most breeds of dogs the result of breeding different dogs because of desirable traits/instincts? So wouldn't alot of todays "breeds" be the mutts as well?

I'm really asking, not being a smartass...I'm on board with your point, but thought maybe the only difference between a new split breed and an older breed that developed from mixing is maybe time and knowledge?

I think that's a misprint. I'm sure they meant to say "offering a small rehoming fee of $100"

They can't honestly believe someone is going to buy their 4 year old purebred mutt for $100, can they? :eyebrow:

Yes, there was someone getting rid of pits or rotties a few years ago and they were charging. I think the female was preggers. If I remember correctly Unix was looking into getting it.

You're right in a way. Most of today's breeds were the result of many years of careful breeding, careful trait selection, and a purpose in mind. I'm not sure any of today's "designer breeds" were really bred with a purpose, unless it's to look cute. Some say they breed for hypoallergenic dogs, but there were plenty of hypo allergenic breeds to begin with. And, many of these breeders are misleading their clients making claims about promising dogs to act or be a certain way. Heck, even dogs within a "real" breed don't always fit breed standards, so how can you cross two totally different breeds, which can end up with so many different individual results, and then promise an outcome to your client? Like Labradoodles. Labs shed like CRAZY, and it's not possible to predict with any certainty if a labradoodle will shed a lot, a little, or none at all.

It's not truly a breed if you have to cross two breeds to get it. Meaning, if a yorkipoo was truly a breed, you'd breed yorkipoos to yorkipoos to get yorkipoos (not breeding yorkies to poodles). Plus, if you wanted to create a new breed, wouldn't you pick a new name, not just a recombined name? :lol:

and wouldn't that cross bred have to be recognized by the AKC? Anyone know when the last time a new pure bred dog (mixing two breeds to make a new one) was added to the AKC registry?

they dont register that type of breed. As cowgirl said, AKC will only recognize a breed if the dogs are produce buy parents both of the same breed.

So there is a chance that one day goldendoodles (or any other mix) will be recognized, but not until they are bred from goldendoodles and not from poodles and goldens

I agree, and that's what I was trying to say.

Does anyone know when the AKC last recognized a new breed of dog? i.e. labradoodle, puggle........... or what the last breed added to the AKC registry was?
