While I'm not into designer dogs, I think the Weimardoodle in the picture is kind of cute in a pathetic way. Look at his face. He's got a "love me anyway" look going on.

A friend of mine bought a labradoodle 4 years ago. Danger Dog (name changed to protect the guilty). She failed obedience school a couple of times. My friend would come into work black & blue from the dog "playfully" attacking her. Made numerous trips to the vet because the dog ate her clothing (underwear, socks, etc.) Wouldn't walk on a leash. Wouldn't come when called. My friend states the dog is getting better but...4 years is a long time to wait. (Am not implying that Danger Dog is indicative of the breed.)

I swear I saw a dog that looked JUST LIKE THAT ONE in the kitty/puppy ER last night. Oh yes, that's right, fun way to spend your Tuesday evening. Though not quite as fun as watching your cat have a seizure. OY!

But there was a dog in the waiting room that looked just like that. My niece and I looked at each other, each with the "what the heck is that" look on our faces, then we both just cracked up. I thought he was kinda cute though. (no one hit me for that, I had a rough day! )

I wouldn't consider a "designer dog" - but wait..to 'fess up, one of the dearest dogs of my life was the shepherd/collie mix who helped raise me and my bro for 16 years. After losing our rescued white shepherd to cancer way too early, I've had the urge to return to the hybrid vigor and splendid temperament of that mix. Is that the same as a "designer dog?" Good god, Fella was so proud of his blue-collar status!
