Mmarshall is absolutely right. "Desighner breeds" are just mixed breeds where you know the mix. But you don't know which genetic traits will show up. Will it be mellow and laid back like most labs or will it be active, feisty, and frequently neurotic like many poodles? Will it shed like a lab or have the tight poodle hair? Will it have hip dysplasia, dry eye, or other traits of the breed?
If you want a purebred, research the breeds and find a reputable breeder (not at a flea market or on Craig's List). If you want a friendly, happy mutt check out your local Humane Society. There are many great dogs and puppies needing homes!
