The Scary Truth About Adopting Designer Dog Breeds

Have you been thinking of adopting a designer dog breed such as a Labradoodle or Cockapoo? These dogs are so cute, it’s no wonder their popularity keeps growing. However, the ugly truth about designer dogs may surprise you.

You may wonder what the problems are with designer dog breeds, and why people who advocate for reputable breeding practices are against them.

While each dog has their own personality, regardless of breed or breed mix, it can be difficult to predict how to care for a mixed-breed dog. This can lead to people getting in over their heads when a dog has higher grooming or exercise needs than they can handle.
