I would only recommend getting a mix of ANYTHING from a shelter or rescue, so as not to support irresponsible breeders.

That's what I thought when I saw this thread.

What is it with newbies digging up threads from years ago, making ONE post in them, and never posting again?

kscott1231, I'm really glad you ended up with a nice one. With any kind of mix breed it's pretty much a crapshoot as far as temperament and looks go.

kairi_s_nobody, you could end up with a dog like hers, or you could end up with something on the other end of the spectrum.....like a shiba size dog with a pom coat and a really bad attitude towards other dogs and very high drive to catch and kill small animals.

Mixes can be great dogs, but definitely go for a rescue if you really want one. That way you will be able to select a dog with the kind of temperament you want, the kind of look you want, size, etc. You also will not be supporting somebody who just breeds dogs wily nily for the sake of supplementing their income.

At 6 months old, you still have a baby. There is still no guarantee how your dog will turn out, so highly recommending other people purchasing one is premature really.. and being a mix you may never find another one like yours, nor may anyone else.

If you want a mix, rescue one.

A breeder that has 4 breeds? And cross-breeds? Read as: PUPPY MILL. Avoid at all costs.

There are TONS of mixed and purebred dogs in shelters.

It is not a breed. It is a mix.
