Designer Breeds

Our Designer Breeds are F1 hybrids.

Genetically speaking, the cross-breeding of a dog, renders a healthier combination of the two specific breeds that are mated. There is no guarantee that the health is 100% improved, but defects among the different breeds are typically a result of the combination of recessive and/or homozygous genes or alleles, that specific breeds harbor.

F1 or first generation cross breeds are the ultimate when it comes to getting an even mixture of both breeds. Some breeders are proud to present further breeding of the cross breed. This practice is believed to liken the possibility of breeding back the predisposition to certain illness and genetic defects within that breed. Our dogs are only first generation, as we believe them to be the truest form of the crossbreed and certainly the healthiest, creating what is commonly called "Hybrid Vigor".
