About Our Site

DesignerMixes.org was started by Stephanie Challand because of her love for her two Chipoos, Lacey and Logan. After getting two puppies five weeks apart in age and not having much experience raising a puppy except for the family dogs I had as a kid I began researching as much as I could and realized that there was not much information out there about ‘Designer Dogs’. So, I decided to start a site of my own where owners of these wonderful dogs could come together and share information, photos, videos, etc. DesignerMixes.org went live on August 22, 2007. After receiving many requests the Community was expanded to include another site featuring Purebred Dogs.

The goal of these sites is to give people as much valuable information as possible about their dogs including Breed Information, Training Articles and Health & Nutrition Information. We are also proud to support adoption in hopes that more dogs will be rescued from shelters or better yet, never make it there in the first place. As part of our mission we are also trying to get the word out about Backyard Breeders and Puppy Mills.
