I've got one for you. Confirming our suspicions.
We got a dog a few years ago. Told he was a cockerpoo. Papers and everything from his breeder. Breeder seems to be legit.
But neither of us agreed he was one. His hair too long and flowy and he looks too much like a spaniel. Until we found stuff on pure bred Welsh springer spaniels.
We went from 90% sure he was missidendified to 99.9%. I'm talking from puppy pictures of other dogs and adult dogs.
Were 3rd owners. Got him at 6 months. The original guy was a trucker, got him thousand plus miles away. Realized it was a boy so they gave him a girl after, but he kept this one? Then he went to family friends who got him for their 80 year old parents. So he immediately went back with the kids until we took him. So his history is weird.
But red flags is. Oh, you thought you bought a girl? Here, come grab an other pup for a discount. Aren't most of the litters claimed way before?
I know it's written with a bias. But I also want to confirm my bias. Haha
Were likely going to do a DNA test to see. But curious on you guys take on the situation.
Unfortunately I will not post any personally identifiable information. Including pictures of my dog. Sorry..
Edit.
To the dude who pmd me and said I was an irresponsible POS for getting a mixed breed dog, then have the guts to "argue" against it. Get a fucking life dude. I'm genuinely curious. It's not my domain, so I asked a question. In a sense, it's a rescue I got, but he happened to have papers. We're third owners.
So thank you all for those who were nice in your response. I learnt quite a lot from this. And to the guy with the DM. Please realize we don't all follow the AKC and some people are just curious and want to know more about their pets lineage.
