Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the concept of mixed dog breeds, specifically focusing on Labradoodles, and extends to humorous suggestions for names of other potential crossbreeds. Participants share thoughts on the characteristics of these breeds and engage in light-hearted banter about naming conventions and the nature of mixed breeds.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • Some participants mention the characteristics of Labradoodles, noting their intelligence and friendliness, as well as their potential as service dogs.
  • There is a humorous suggestion to name Labradoodles "Poobradors," with multiple participants agreeing that this name has a better ring to it.
  • One participant humorously proposes a Great Dane-Jack Russell mix, describing it as an annoying but formidable dog.
  • Another participant discusses the naming conventions for mixed breeds, referencing ligers and tigons as examples, while expressing uncertainty about the specifics.
  • Participants also introduce the term "Potlickers" for mixed breed dogs and suggest playful names for their offspring when crossed with other breeds.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the humorous nature of the discussion and the playful suggestions for names, but there is no consensus on the naming conventions for mixed breeds or the characteristics of the proposed crossbreeds.

Contextual Notes

Uncertainty exists regarding the accuracy of the naming conventions mentioned, as well as the characteristics attributed to various mixed breeds. The discussion is informal and lacks definitive claims about dog breeding practices.

What do you get when you breed Labradors with poodles?

Labradoodles

The smart, friendly dogs, which do not shed, hold promise as future service dogs in Hawaii [continued]

How about a Doberman Chihuahua, or a Pekingese Mastiff?

another interesting fact:
Dogs and chocolate
Chocolate in sufficient doses is lethally toxic to dogs (and, for that matter, to horses) and should never be fed to them. This is because chocolate contains theobromine, a chemical stimulant which, together with caffeine and Theophylline, belongs to the group of Methylxanthines. Dogs are unable to metabolize theobromine effectively. If they eat chocolate, the theobromine can remain in their bloodstream for up to 20 hours, and these animals may experience racing heartbeats, hallucinations, severe diarrhea, epileptic seizures, heart attacks, internal bleeding, and eventually death. A chocolate candy bar can be sufficient to make a small dog extremely ill or even kill it. In case of accidental intake of chocolate by a dog, contact a veterinarian or animal poison control immediately; it is commonly recommended to induce vomiting within two hours of ingestion. (Note that carob treats are often available as dog treats; these are unrelated to chocolate and are safe treats).

I think that's the Spanish version.
 
What about a Great Dane-Jack Russel. One annoying yappy bugger dog that you WOULDNT mess with.
 
:devil: Or Tsu's avatar crossed with a rottweiler :surprise: :surprise:
 
Maybe the poobradors are the other half of the litter, the ones that are high strung and shed everywhere! I think the more correct term is mutt. Though, there supposedly is an actual naming convention when different species are crossed that has to do with the first half of the name being assigned to...I think the mother...and then the second part from the father (or vice versa...I don't even know where to begin looking up that information anymore). So, a Liger would be a lion mother and a tiger dad, while a Tigon would be a tiger mom and a lion dad. And why anybody would want a Tigon or Liger, I don't know.

Oh yeah, those would be the ones I would end up with.
 
The mixed breed dogs are locally known as Potlickers. When crossed with a Pitbull I refer to the offspring as Potbull :approve: (suppose could also be a Bull-licker, but this leaves bad taste in mouth). :-p :biggrin:
