<DIV>Designer dogs---I am enraged at something my 9 year old son read to me
this<BR>morning. From National Geographic Kids it tells what a mini schnauzer
and a<BR>poodle mix is called--a snoodle. I did not purchase that
subscription for<BR>him, but to think that young children are reading this from
a well known<BR>magazine and will grow up thinking that it is the way to
go. When I was a<BR>kid we did adopt from the shelter and they
were I sknown as a "mix" or "mutts"<BR>and not something that was
know to be intentionally done. Ok, off the soap<BR>box.</DIV>

<DIV> What's wrong letting a "mutt" have a fancier name? I kind of
took offense to that comment...Presently, I have what she calls a "mutt"....to
me an insult to Sammy. Sammy is a Cavalier, King Charles/basset mixed...
so we call him a bassalier...Of course, he's a shelter dog whom we rescued the
day he was to be put down....and we love him dearly.. but, personally, I'd like
to give him that "prestige" of being called a Bassalier rather than a mutt...I
see nothing wrong in that.</DIV>
