Looks like the "designer dog" fad is spreading to goats now.
Around here everybody is breeding mutts, calling them some made up breed (schnoodle, goolden doodle, puggle, etc, etc) and charging for them like they are purebred dogs! My favorite was an ad I saw for ****z-Poo puppies, say that one out loud. And IDIOTS are buying them like crazy!
Cross two breeds, you may get the best traits of both.... or the worst. If they don't breed true, they aren't a breed.
I think I am going to cross my LaMancha with a Nubian-Boer and call them NuBoMancha's! Anyone want a NuBoMancha? Sounds like something you would buy on an infomertial doesn't it?
Back to the original post, cross breeds have thier positive and negative traits. I do cross breeds all the time. Figure out what you want and if this particular "breed" is going to give it to you. Just be aware since it is a hybrid the traits may not run "true" per say. Just don't pay purebred prices for a cross bred doe.

, I'm going to stick with true and registered and continue to talk my DH into letting me have a Saanen buck and a Nubian buck , since I will have 2 Saanen does and 3 Nubian Does 
Later down the road...... I'll play in experiments. I'm going to stick with getting true, pure or American and registered. I don't have time for b.s. been facing it a year just to find these goats.
