Why are designer dogs so popular?

And they are taking the world by storm...

But why?

#1.) Cute names- grafted-together breeds mean grafted-together names (i.e. cockapoo {cocker spaniel/poodle}, chiweenie {chihuahua/dachsund}, and puggle {pug/beagle}).

#2.) Shed less/allergy friendly- since designer dogs are specially bred and "planned", they are sometimes less likely to shed and are "nicer" to allergies.

#3.)Genetic pluses- designer dogs, having a wider gene pool, are less prone to inbreeding, and are usually healthier than a lot of "normal" purebreds.
