i dont get why people keep calling these dogs designer dogs..it is just as silly as calling dogs "teacups." these dogs maltipoo, pugwawas, are not designer, they are just mutts! furthermore, they are created and bred by extremely inhumane and cruel humans who want to use marketing terms like "designer dogs" to sell to people who do not know better. just like how we criticize knock offs on the forum, i dont see this situation any different. people want to make money off the hype of smaller dogs, so they just breed w/o any regard for health or consequences...it is cruelty to animals at its worst and anyone who buys from these backyard breeders or puppy mills are just helping to further this cycle of torture for these animals...these dogs are prisoners of human greed.
