If they aren't sired by a purebred dog out of a purebred bitch both being from the same breed... IMNSHO -- They are ALL MUTTS.. PERIOD, END OF STORY. In fact I think the AKC should refuse to register dogs from people who create these designer mutts. Almost got into a fight with a broad who shows purebred dogs but makes her money selling "designer" mutts. Disgraceful. Can't believe people are so stupid as to pay money for a mutt -- go to the pound and get one... they're all the same, mutt, mutt, mutt, unless of course the pound is holding a poor purebred soul.
