Question for our Canadian friends:

  • CKC most likely does not mean Canadian Kennel Club in this ad. It is probably Continental Kennel Club

  • @lvoss:

    My thoughts Exactly

  • I didn't realize any kennel club recognized cross-breeds. In my neck of the woods, there are other ways of describing them: Heinz-57, Pot-Hound and Mutt are the first descriptors that come to mind.

  • Ah, but that was the old names for these hybrids. Now the PC term is anything with "oodle" at the end. It makes the mutt sound exotic and more desirable .. but still unrecognized by the national Kennel Clubs.
    I just laugh now when someone tells me they have a whateveroodle and how unusual and rare it is. "It's still not a recognized real breed - you won't get another whateveroodle if you cross it with another whateveroodle but probably a whocaresoodle. It was a scam and you got took."

  • My understanding is CKC, here in the states is just that, the Continental Kennel Club, and it is not far from a junk kennel club..

  • @wizard:

    "you won't get another whateveroodle if you cross it with another whateveroodle but probably a whocaresoodle. It was a scam and you got took."

    :D Love it!!!

    I have to say that I know a labradoodle and it's a really nice dog, both in character as in looks.. :)

  • Golden doodles and such are not accepted by CKC (Canadian Kennel Club) standards by any means. It probably is the Continental Kennel Club. A mutt is a mutt is a mutt. IMO I groom several, including a few as one lady states-multigenerational-and there is no consistency at all in any of them.

    CKC (not the Canadian Kennel Club) is NOT a "real" kennel club. It is used by BYB and PM's to get around AKC's DNA requirements

  • Whateveroodle!! I love it! I'm so going to use that.

  • @wizard:

    Ah, but that was the old names for these hybrids. Now the PC term is anything with "oodle" at the end.

    No no no. If we're going to be PC, the correct PC term is "Designer Breed." Because you don't want to leave out the "ugles" of the world (pugles & the like), and it sound so fancy, like a dog Paris Hilton would have.

    I love it when people assume my girls are some unique & exotic (mixed breed) designer dogs, and they are always dissappointed when I tell them "No, its just a unique & exotic purebred primitive dog that's been around much much much longer than designer dogs."

    I actually had somebody at the dog park ask me if they were basenjis one day, and I replied Yes they are. They then asked "So they're miniatures?" I said "No, they are both within standard, just at the very small end of the standard." They insisted again they were toy basenjis. Whatever. :rolleyes:

    @RDA007: Thank you. Just when I thought I had a handle on all this, I discover more to learn. Hmm, guess you can teach an old dog new tricks! Thanks again for your help. Oh, there's always more to learn. ;)

    There is someone right down the road from us who owns two minipins - my b's get along just great with those dogs, so AJ probably will be happy with a new playmate!

    It most likely is (sort of) If you are in sections of the country where there are a lot of Portuguese - many of them had dogs sent over or brought over with them from Portugal to use in rabbit hunting. The older hunting pack goes back to the late 1890's. They do not register them and it is unclear if the lines have remained pure or if they have included other hunt pack dogs. I have trying to establish some contacts within the hunt community but at this point - we have to focus on making sure the documented dogs are placed where they are safe and can continue with the breed. Much as a basenji - they are not for everyone. It appears that the middle size may be the more problematic and I'm not too sure why. I will tell you - after having a barkless dog that it's hard to get used to any barking. She looks like a nice little dog - and is trained some - happy to provide information should your aunt choose to adopt her.

    What a wonderful Christmas story. I am so glad he came home and was OK, I can only imagine how awful your friend must have felt, thinking he was lost, injured and freezing. Nice to hear a really great happy ending.

    Oh man..Westchester is pricey :( I work in Manhattan & live in NJ. Could you possibly find something in NJ?? Or perhaps a place over the Tappan Zee Bridge which is Rockland County or Orange County which both are still in NY except on the other side of the Hudson River. Prices are usually better in this area. You can send me a PM if you'd like to chat more!
