Frequently Asked
Questions
FAQ

1. Q: Are you breeding all of these hybrids?
A: No, we are not breeders. We bring in our puppies from out of State
breeders that we trust, so people can choose a puppy in person instead of
just by photo over the internet. We might be able to help you find the breed
of dog you are looking for, if it is not a breed that we have available from our
breeders.
2. Q: Isn’t a hybrid just another fancy name for a mutt?
A: No, there are 3 classes of dogs. Hybrids, Mixed Breeds (also known as
mutts) and Purebreds.
3. Q: What is the difference between a mixed breed and a hybrid?
A: A mixed breed is usually conceived through a random encounter or by
accident. A female dog will go into heat and one of the neighborhood dogs
will make his way into the yard and now you have a mixed breed. There isn’t
much thought given to it and the results are unpredictable. A hybrid on the
other hand is made by a competent breeder taking two registered purebreds
and mating them together. There is a lot of care taken to make sure the dogs
come from good lines, not having any genetic defects, making sure the
female is larger than the male to prevent puppies from being to big for the
mom etc... Many breeders now have multiple generations of good hybrid
breeding with predictable results.
4. Q: Why are they called designer dogs?
A: Two reasons. First, they are called designer dogs because many of them
are bred by design for specific reasons like: minimizing allergies to shedding
and dander, having good temperaments as family pets, eliminating excessive
drooling etc. Second, they are popular!
5. Q: Where can I get a designer dog or hybrid?
A: The first place you should check with is your local humane society. There
are many great dogs to be found there and you just may find what you’re
looking for. Next, you can e-mail us to see if we can help you locate the
breed you are searching for.
6. Q: Do hybrids have more health problems than purebreds?
A: No, Most experts agree that purebred dogs tend to have a higher
incidence of hereditary genetic defects. This is because the majority of
purebred breeders are focused on physical and temperament traits, in the
hopes of producing a dog that will show well. The best purebred breeders will
do their best to reduce these risks but cannot guarantee them.
7. Q: What is the most popular hybrid?
A: The Puggle is still the most popular hybrid at this time.
