I’m not talking about whether or not they make good pets (because I’m sure they do), but about your opinion of the phenomenon itself. About the practice of breeding two specific breeds together to “create” a new “breed,” and people actually accepting it as such. Traditionally, this is not how breeds were created. Different breeds were often bred together to develop new ones, yes, but it was usually many different breeds, and it was done over a number of years, carefully, to reach a new breed, usually for a specific purpose. Breed A and breed B were not just “stuck” together to get breed C. It seems to be getting more and more popular, and you even have people insisting that one day, Goldendoodles for example, will be “real” recognized breeds by the AKC, and similar organizations.
