Designer dogs (hybrid), such as a springerdoodle, labradoodle are becoming quite popular.
Hybrid puppies are a cross between two breeds, and are claimed by pet shops to be protected from genetic diseases. They are just as likely to have the same problems that other puppies have who come from large-scale, high-volume breeding, especially since the demand is massive and puppy mills are responding by pumping out the hybrids as quickly as possible.
Puppy mills are horrid breeding facilities that produce purebred and mixed-breed or "hybrid" puppies in large numbers and sell them to pet stores, or directly to consumers through the internet or newspaper ads, disguised as reputable breeders. Factory breeding like this increases the chances of a puppy having genetic, physical and emotional problems which may not be apparent at first.
