Aroura Posted August 18, 2003 Posted August 18, 2003 Go to this breed selection site, do the test and see if you can see what got me so damn angry about it :evil: http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/search.htm Quote
bk_blue Posted August 18, 2003 Posted August 18, 2003 Is it the designer dogs on there eg. goldendoodle? The first time I did the quiz there were no dogs that matched my choices so I had to do it again. :roll: Quote
Aroura Posted August 18, 2003 Author Posted August 18, 2003 Spot on BK!!! The Chi Poo The Chi-Poo is a relatively small dog, that is rather "square" in his looks. The coat is either straight, wavy or curly, and can be short, or long in lengh, the Chi-Poo does not shed. Dewclaws are typically removed, and the tail can be docked or left natural. The Chi-Poos ears are typically semi-erect at adult hood, but do to the poodle in him could remain "drooped". All colors are allowed. A Chi-Poo is a mix between a Chihuahua and typically a female Miniature Poodle. (Or female Chi-Poo) Grrr :evil: Yes, we actually own one of these so called "Chi Poos" and gues what? She sheds!!!! When you cross two breeds you have a goddamn 50/50 chance of each characteristic occuring!!! By saying they "do not shed" can you imagine how many dogs of these cross breds are dumped at the pound each year because they weren't what they were said to be? I AM SO ANGRY, SITES LIKE THESE SHOULD BE BANNED!!!! :evil: Quote
Aroura Posted August 18, 2003 Author Posted August 18, 2003 Oh but there's more - Temperament: Although every dog is different the Chi-Poo, is generally a very friendly breed, and a good companion dog. Do (THEY CAN'T EVEN SPELL!) to the Miniature Poodle in the Chi-Poo they are generally good around kids in both there temperament and size. He is a courageous, lively, and a proud little dog, who is always ready to receive and give affection. Chi-Poos are an extremely intelligent breed, and are very trainable. They respond very well to positive reinforcement. They tend to be a one person, or one family breed. Reserved (but never aggressive) with strangers. Ok, Puddles is neither courageous or lively , nor is she very trainable. Do these all sound like Poodle traits to you? Yes! Obviously who ever wrote this failed to note that Chihuahuas are exactly the oppisite, and that there IS A 50/50 CHANCE OF GETTING THESE TRAITS!!! Puddles has taken the Chihuahuas personality, isn't she lucky that she found a good home who didn't have all these high, unrealistic expectations of her? And that we didn't dump her with the first bit of fur she shed? Or because she isn't as smart or trainable as the average poodle? Even though she is 3/4 poodle she still has these chihuahua traits, which goes to show the unpredictability of these breedings. :evil: Oh, and for it to say NEVER aggressive, well never is a very strong word, how can they guarentee that? After all, I've seen Puddles nip at peoples heels, couldn't that be considered as aggressive? After all, if say, Lily were to do the same thing she would probably be put to sleep for it, so yes,i would consider that as aggression. Maybe I could sue the makers of this site for false advertising??? :-? Quote
mouseatthebusstop Posted August 18, 2003 Posted August 18, 2003 the information on the s/pei was not too bad http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/sharpei.htm BUT The quiz said I should have Airedale Terrier- Goldendoodle--Labradoodle--Portuguese water dog --Schnoodle--Standard Poodle NO NO NO NO Quote
Aonir Posted August 18, 2003 Posted August 18, 2003 Hmm.. The quiz said I should get an American Eskimo.. *looks over at her puppy* That's what she is.. Maybe it gets it right 50/50? or 1/100? Quote
abker17 Posted August 18, 2003 Posted August 18, 2003 :evil: :evil: :evil: It have me a list of 44 possible dog breeds, that I should have, one of them was the Toller, which is good, but one of them was the Shnoodle. For the health problems they right: Unknown as no research has been performed on this mix, however mix breeds tend to be healthier than pure breeds, as lines are wider spread. :evil: Lie, Lie, Lie, Lie, LIE!!!!!!!!!! On grooming: The Shnoodle sheds little to no hair and is good for allergy sufferers. These people NEED to be sued.......... :evil: Quote
ellieangel Posted August 18, 2003 Posted August 18, 2003 I do agree with all of you that this breeding should be discouraged but I have to say ..........that goldendoodle is gorgeous......sorry :( Quote
Aroura Posted August 18, 2003 Author Posted August 18, 2003 Oh yes Ellie, but you should see the Malti Poo!!!! If I didn't know better I'd go and get one today!!! Actually, my cousin is looking to buy one, for like $500 from probably the same pet shop we got out "chi poo" from 4 years ago. The one in the picture is very cute, but with all the alleles mixing randomly how can you possibly hope for two mutts to look the same? I'd rather spend half as much on a pure bred from the pound, know I'm saving its life and at the same time know roughly what I'm getting... Quote

There was this one dog who was mixed so much, that it actually became a breed! Can't think of it's name though.. Was on TV a lloonngg time ago. Quote
