Fancy Names And Prices(Yet Again)

[my hounds 309]

Why don't people say in an advert the pups are either cross breeds or mongrels or is it all part of the "sales pitch" to have a fancy name?,i am not denying the pups may make good bushing dogs but pricey to me. http://www.pets4homes.co.uk/classifieds/1449000-cocklingtons-willenhall.html

I remember the days when most people would struggle to shift a litter of mongrels, with probably half the litter being discreetly 'disposed' of. But these days as long as you say it's a purpose bred crossbreed and give them a ridiculously fluffy cuddly name tag, you're laughing.

And though it might offend some people that are reading this, I COULD NOT bring myself to actually tell anyone, or even say it out loud, that I've gone and bought a labradoodle, puglington cockerpoo, cocklington or whatever else that these people are flogging these days! The shame of it

 

And before anyone picks me up on the technicalties of 'crossbreed' or 'mongrel', rest assured I know the difference, I'm just using these terms as ease of reference

It's actually getting to the point where mongrels are going to be more expensive than pedigrees...purely because someone has dreamt up a proper shite name for them, and they look fluffy, bizarre!

And call them bullshits.

Seen loads of adverts where the crossbreeds are nearly double what you could buy a lab or poodle or spaniel pup.
