Hi,
I live in Michigan and I am searching for a lab/schnauzer mix breeder. I would also adopt a rescue of this mix pup, but my guess is that will be hard to come by. Anyone know of contacts in the surrounding areas of MI for this dog?
I noticed on one posted questions someone got their dog from the Chicago area?
Thank you!
The only way to obtain this particular mix would be to find one in a shelter.
Registered breeders are not allowed to breed cross-bred dogs.
They have more genetic problems than pure-bred dogs and are bred by backyard breeders.
I know they make up cute little names for cross-breds like schnoodles or maltypoos etc but these dogs more often than not have underlying problems.
I'm sorry for the rant but people who intentionally breed mixed breed dogs make me so angry!
I live near you and would LOVE to have a schnauzer / lab mix puppy or two! So maybe a breeder will read these posts and respond.
IGNORE the previous poster. There are virtually NO schnauzers in rescues.
We have allergy issues in our home (yes we have tried solutions and they did not work). We want the lab/schnauzer mix for allergies and for other reasons, which we do not have to explain.
Soooo, if there is a breeder out there, looks like you have a couple of customers.
Again, PLEASE do not encourage backyard breeders buy advertising that you want to buy one of their problem ridden mutts...Quote:

There are literally hundreds to choose from and you might save a special little guy from being put to death.
Labs shed, that wouldn't be good for allergies.

"IGNORE the previous poster. There are virtually NO schnauzers in rescues."
It's really not nice to advise people to ignore others:(
Everyone has their own opinion and can make up there own mind, that's why they are here for answers.
And Shaz is very knowledgeable, she knows what she is talking about.:)
SOUNDS LIKE PREACHING TO ME!! Not an answer, just an opinion.
If you want to POST A SEPARATE subject then do it.
The question here is about where to find a lab schnauzer mix. Last I checked we were still in America.
Why don't you go to the animal rescue site and do a search?
Thank you Dahlia :)Quote:

Everyone is entitled to their opinion but I personally refuse to advise people to buy from backyard breeders.
I have a sticky about backyard breeders and puppy mills at the top of the 'dogs' page. You would do well to read it 'somewhereintime'

Actually a lot of people on this sight are not in America:rolleyes:
Shaz, I can't find your 'Sticky':confused:
It's in the "useful picees from out members" thread...Quote:

Go to the link I posted in that thread, it is a great site explaining how bad backyard breeders are.
On a side note, I have another backyard breed lover in another thread... I don't know why I bother sometimes...
They deserve to have an unhealthy mutt.
You will be unable to find a breeder that breeds this mix, unless it has become a 'designer mutt'. And if it has, I would steer clear of these so called breeders, as they will charge an arm and a leg for a dog that you could rescue from a shelter.
Yes, I went into our local pet store the other day and they were selling "Spoodles" (My poor beloved breed has been defiled) the cross-breds were selling for $500... yes $500 more than the purebreds...Quote:

I was horrified, we charge less than that for our purbred Mini Poodles! And I am sure they don't health test like we do!
Not only that but they are claiming they are "hypoallergenic!"
What a crock!
What's a Spoodle?:confused:
Spaniel x Poodle...Quote:

Here, those are called Cockapoos. :P
Then there's Labradoodles, Golden Doodles, Schnoodles, Chi-Poos, Yorkie-Poos, MaltiPoos... ugh
Ahhh yes... sorry! Not sure what spaniel it is then!Quote:

There were two names that made me chuckle though...
Havanese x Poodle... "Have a poo"
Borzoi x Afghan... "Bogan" (for those who don't know 'bogan' is Australian slang for basically someone from a trailor park!)
After the initial chuckle wore off though I was sad again...
My neighbor has a Labradoodle. It looks like a giant Schnauzer:eek:
But it is very friendly:)
There is a "breeder" here for Labradoodles, they even advertise on television...Quote:

Only about half of the puppies end up being non-allergy (just a random fact)
It's worse than you think, Shazzy

That's amazing! but the Poochon and the Bolonoodle were really cute:eek:
You shouldn't be encouraging people with cute puppy pictures, it's just wrong.;):D
The puppies are adorable. DUH! All puppies are. It's these parasites trying to make a buck off these cute little animals later suffering that chaps my shorts.
Guess this makes you all feel very important. So glad for you.
Still looking for that schnauzer/lab mix. If you all don't shut up, I might breed my own.
AND WHEN IS THE LAST TIME YOU RESCUED A DOG?? Yea I thought so. A dog becomes a part of the family.
For the record, you PREACHERS, we are volunteers in a dog rescue. We will be happy to take the right dog from a rescue, but we have not found one.
Get up off the couch and do something instead of judging other people and telling them the way you think they should act. Clean up your own act first.
Oh, got a line on a breeder. Thanks for all of the activity.
Good on you. :)
I may not volunteer at a dog rescue, but as a Vet Tech I spent much of my time during my schooling at high-kill shelters, and that made me what I am when it comes to breeders. I did not enjoy euthanizing litters of 8 week old puppies every week.
And all my dogs (and cats) have been rescues, thank you very much.
And which rescue do you volunteer for? I'd love to see some of the dogs they have, and to see if all of the people who volunteer have the same attitude as you.
I'm also interested in the breeder you found (which is odd since at the beginning of your post you acted as if you had not found one yet, but by the end, you had). What kind of prices are there for their dogs?
In response to the OP, here is a cute boy I found. He's about two and a half hours out of Chicago.

I've been rescuing dogs since 1977. My family has been breeding pure bred animals since 1960. Right now we have a cocker mix from the pound and are looking at a Rottie.Quote:

Look at this cutie in Indiana! What a handful. I love how honest and responsible this rescue foster home is - otherwise this crazy pup might be bouncing from home to rescue... or worse.

Sumewhereintime, I know you are obviously very young - but you need to understand that loving animals means defending them and fighting the irresponsible breeding that contributes to so many deaths and health issues. I find it difficult to believe you work with a rescue and haven't found the "right" dog. Seriously? You want someone to breed a mutt for you... so that those rescue dogs can take up foster homes while other dogs die in shelters. I have a rescue mutt now, and I even had a "pet store" full bred dog, that I unknowingly fell in love with 17 years ago - when I was way too young to know better. With time, as you mature, you'll begin to understand why some are so passionate, even if you don't like the "tone".
Szit-poos are the best named mixed breed. I'd like to see a Chi-dane sometime... Would it have health problems?
I'm not sure to be honest...Quote:

Catsmine - there's a whole Hybrid club?? Good lord.
Last dog we adopted was a fair while ago I admit, but we have adopted several dogs before (A terrier mix and a great dane)
I adopted a rabbit from the pound earlier this year though.
The land of the free and the home of the brave.. . when they are sitting in front of a computer and not a person.
We have the right to make decisions for our family. We have the right to buy the dog we want from the breeder we want.
There is nothing ethically wrong with that. We don't have to rescue a dog from a pound if it is not the right dog for our human family.
If that is where you want to get your pets FINE FOR YOU. You have absolutely no right to try to DEMAND what my family does. Are you getting any of this?
IF we could find a schnauzer/lab mix we would adopt one.
If not, we will buy one.
By the way, try to help some humans too. If this is how you respond to humans, I can only imagine how you respond to dogs.
I don't live in the "land of the free and home of the brave"
Yes you are entitled to your opinion.
Yes you are entitled to buy a dog where you choose.
But no, it is not ethically correct to buy from a backyard breeder, no matter how much you tell yourself that.
Sorry, Shaz and I both don't live in America. :)
I'm still kind of interested in the answers to those questions you skirted past, though..
And I respond fine to humans, when they aren't having a hissy fit thousands of miles away in front of a computer.
You know summer, if you don't want the advise from peopleThen I suggest, you Don't COME TO AN ONLINE BOARD.Quote:

Good advice Jenniepepsi.
Get off your high horse, this is a world wide site on the world wide web, it's not just for Americans.Quote:

If you want a dog that may have genetic defects or other health problems then go for it, we can't stop you from supporting people that are responsible for the deaths of millions of dogs each year, and yes, that's in America!
Just so you know, I have 3 dogs, one from an oops pregnancy of a friend of ours (he did everything right to prevent his female from become pregnant but it didn't work), one from the shelter (he was abused, fearful and on death row, he's been a member of our family for almost 7 years now) and one purebred from a legitimate breeder.
I also have 4 bunnies, all except 1 are rescues.
I volunteered at the human society for a long time, but my heart couldn't take it anymore and I was running out of room for all the animals I brought home with me.
So preach to someone you have a right to preach to, but don't preach to the wonderful people on this site, you don't even begin to compare to them.
