Being a cross between different varieties of dog (Labrador and Poodle, of course), they don't breed "true", which makes some people trying to make a profit that way very disappointed. Portmanteau names for dogs we would once have called mongrels have become popular as a way of legitimising such crosses so that more can be charged for them. A friend of mine has a "CockerPoo" which they paid too much for, and I have a "Sprollie" which was sold perfectly reasonably by the farmer who didn't want his son to leave his working Springer Spaniel and Collie in together that night...

As bad as all these daft names for cats. No, that's not an "English Long Hair", it's a short tempered vicious SOB that will rip your face of if you give it a chance. And that one isn't an "Arabian Mau" it's that damn orange cat from next door that decided to move in and somehow leaves more hair all over the place than the other cat.

Cats are cute, sweet and loving. Those who believe they are distant or creepy don't know a thing about them.
War Sparrow:
I have had 2 cats that were mean. One had been found at my dad's work yard, so dad being himself meant we got a cat. We suspected abuse. He got over it, in time.
The other was a hag to everyone but me. No idea what her deal was-but damn did I love her.
My current cats, however, are snuggly purrboxes of joy.
Poor Elliot. He means well.

Not to put too fine a point on it, purebred-dog breeders can go [bleeep] themselves. The whole idea of inbreeding animals in order to perpetuate deformities and health problems for the purpose of the vanity of the owners is disgusting.
Penquin47:
My childhood dog was an accidental crossbreed of Beagle and Pekingese. The breeders were going to kill the puppies, but their kids intervened, so the puppies were given away for free.
We decided to call her a Pickle (from Peagle).
