Designer dog Maso

After reading this site, I'm actually pretty impressed. This seems to be a breeder who is responsibly trying to create a new breed.
These dogs are being sold as PETS ONLY! All the masos sold are required to be spayed/neutered. The kennel website says they do not sell dogs for breeding because "This breed will take many years to complete, as we want it done right, and we are in no hurry." Also, the masos are sold for much cheaper than the true purebred mastiffs, and come with health guarantees.
If all this is true, than it does seem like the legitimate creation of a new, healthy breed, and not an attempt to cash in with the designer dog fad. I see nothing to argue with.
The only thing I don't like is she does give a shameless plug to designer dogs, and how they're healthier than purebreds. Perhaps careful breeders can make healthy dogs, but sadly, that statement doesn't apply to 95% of the breeders out there.

I tried checking and can not find anything, but I think it was on the iccf, Did he say he did not breed the mastiff and poodle? I am not possitive they are the one ,how many maso breeders are out there?The one I read about claimed they were only starting with one breeding to see if the dogs would be hypo-alg, like the labordoodle.
Not really, especially when you think about the breeds that have had their temperaments and/or physical capabilities seriously impaired through bad breeding or even a shrinking gene pool.
And there's definitely a place for a massive, healthy, dependable family dog that will intelligently protect in today's world . . .
