Janie from what I know about breed restrictions you are only restricting the puppies of the dogs that you bred from being registered, so someone who has one of your pups could breed with a dog from another breed, but I might be wrong.

I do think that breeding cross breeds for a purpose is allright, there has been plenty of breeds that have become rare, as they are not the best suited for pet homes, and another breed that has come from another crossing has took over them, dogs if they are continually bred to the breed standards will not evolve, is breeding for better dogs then not a good thing? And I also think that there is no 'pure' breed, all breeds at one point have had another breed added, even Greyhounds that are classed as a acient breed had some bull blood introduced so are they really a anciet breed?

Also Lucrchers and longdogs are a good example of people breeding for work (not mine though) depeneding on where people are they need different types, e.g. if they live and work on tough terrian, this is where the speed and agilty of a sighthound would come into play, but so would the substance of say a bully breed, if someone wants a dog with more intelligance as well as speed the collie is added, and whippets and greys are crossed as well if a fast dog is needed, but to be bigger then the whippet, but smaller then the grey, there is plenty of reasons.

The real 'labradoodles' are another good example, where the woman who needed a guide dog was allergic to dog hair, but there was no suitable poodles who could be found, so they crossed a good lab with a good poodle, but now byb have jumped on the bandwagon, and ruined what could of become a great working dog, not only for blind or disabled people, but the could of potentailly been great in the field.
