hmm only had Labs but when looking i found a LOT of new mixes i had not heard of before..chatted with a couple of those selling these new lines of dogs..all explanaitions seemed to indeed suggest they were oooopses..non planned...and yet demanded the same $$$ as purebred from known lineages...total BS.
HAD a friend that had a small dog with short nose..like a pug..bought into a new shorter nosed breed..damn things..he has 3..cant breathe when even sitting still..no thought no planning..outcome was cruel on the dog..an entire lifetime struggling to breathe..constant trips to vet for upper airway infections/blockages....
glad we stuck with purebred Lab...well known couch hound lol
