"[ Designer Dogs ] is an informative, heartwarming book. I want you to get this book; I want you to read this book; and then I want you to become a soldier in the army that Madeline Bernstein is leading." --Dr. Phil McGraw on the Dr. Phil show (10/12/18) "Those cute labradoodles mask a dark, disturbing truth...life can be ruff for a pup on its journey to a forever friend, so it's crucial people take their time to find a pet the right way." -- New York Post "[Bernstein's] advice on finding reputable breeders is sound and will surely be appreciated by readers interested in doing the right thing, and her knowledge of the issue and passion for animals is unassailable" -- Publishers Weekly "[This reminds me that] we should leave the creation of our dogs to the good Lord. He has done it so well for so long." -- Bob Barker "In this important book, Madeline Bernstein looks at the real dangers of putting breed above species and the actual damage it can do to our best friends." -- Cesar Millan "In her book Designer Dogs , Madeline Bernstein tackles the issue of irresponsible dog breeding and the misinformation that sometimes attends it. The human-animal bond and the benefits of dogs in our society is dependent on having healthy, well-behaved animals, and Designer Dogs illuminates many of the concerns with poorly-bred animals." -- David Haworth, DVM, PhD , President, PetSmart Charities "Designer Dogs is filled with much needed information, perfect story telling and unbridled passion. As an animal mother and advocate I'm inspired even more after reading Madeline's book. If you want to smile, get informed and become inspired to make a difference-READ THIS BOOK!" -- Heidi Hamilton , Dish Nation and Frosty, Heidi & Frank on KLOS Los Angeles "Madeline Bernstein is a force of nature and an animal's best friend. This book is for anyone who cares deeply about the issues facing companion animals. Through her wit and wisdom, she has written a compelling roadmap to show us how we can change the world for our beloved friends." -- Pamela Frasch, JD , Associate Dean, Lewis & Clark law School "With sharp wit, wisdom, and candor, Bernstein walks us through the dark side of our national obsession with designer dogs and makes a rock-solid case for adopting rather than shopping. An important read for any fan of our four-legged friends." -- Erica Gaudet Hughes , Executive Director, California Animal Welfare Association "As a lifelong dog lover and advocate of animal well-being, I've learned that the 'perfect' pet often chooses you. Designer Dogs is an important book and a reminder that the strongest bonds are built upon mutual gratitude and no animal is more grateful than an adopted shelter dog." -- Wallis Annenberg, "I think we should leave the creation of our dogs to the good Lord. He has done it so well for so long." --Bob Barker "One of the things I teach people is to let dogs be dogs, but that doesn't apply to just behavior. In this important book, Madeline Bernstein looks at the real dangers of putting breed above species and the actual damage it can do to our best friends." --Cesar Milan "In her book Designer Dogs, Madeline Bernstein tackles the issue of irresponsible dog breeding and the misinformation that sometimes attends it. The human-animal bond and the benefits of dogs in our society is dependent on having healthy, well-behaved animals, and Designer Dogs illuminates many of the concerns with poorly-bred animals." --David Haworth, DVM, PhD, President, PetSmart Charities "Designer Dogs is filled with much needed information, perfect story telling and unbridled passion. As an animal mother and advocate I'm inspired even more after reading Madeline's book. I am involved in animal rescue and sometimes I find it difficult to continue rescuing because it can be heartbreaking, but I will continue because we have to be a voice for the voiceless. Madeline has been that voice and she inspires me to never stop fighting for them. If you want to smile, get informed and become inspired to make a difference-READ THIS BOOK!" --Heidi Hamilton, Dish Nation and Frosty, Heidi & Frank on KLOS Los Angeles "Madeline Bernstein is a force of nature and an animal's best friend.

Synopsis
--- WITH A FOREWORD BY DR. PHIL MCGRAW --- Designer Dogs is the shocking exposure of the dangers of continuing to make our dogs tinier or funnier looking, more "Instagram worthy," and presents startling new revelations on why this threatens French bulldogs, pit bulls, and other favorite breeds with extinction. Ever heard of a labradoodle, a goldendoodle, or a puggle? How about a cockapoo, a pomsky, or a spoodle? You or a friend have certainly been enticed by a "hypoallergenic dog" or smiled at a "teacup." These are not dog breeds that nature created; these are the results of the forced mating or genetic engineering of different breeds, or inbreeding, and popularized by social media and celebrities. In Designer Dogs , Madeline Bernstein, one of the country's most respected animal welfare crusaders, reveals the obsession with new types of dogs--engineering puppies that keep getting smaller or sillier looking--and the horrifying health consequences of this on those we claim as our best friends. She also provides extraordinary revelations on how this has led to a world of "disposable pets"--puppies and adult dogs abandoned when their medical expenses become too costly and added to the 6.5 million animals entering shelters each year, or put on the street--and informed insight into what's ahead: made-to-order puppies; hybrid animals; shorter life spans for dogs; and even the extinction of breeds like French bulldogs, pit bulls, King Charles spaniels, mastiffs, Skye terriers, bloodhounds, and more. And Bernstein calls out those responsible for the savagery, both domestic puppy mills and backyard breeders, and also an international dog trafficking ring that she's been on the front line exposing. Bernstein's game-changing and unforgettable book is destined to cause outrage and save lives in the process., Designer Dogs is the shocking exposure of the dangers of continuing to make our dogs tinier or funnier looking, more "Instagram worthy," and presents startling new revelations on why this threatens French bulldogs, pit bulls, and other favorite breeds with extinction. Ever heard of a labradoodle, a goldendoodle, or a puggle? How about a cockapoo, a pomsky, or a spoodle? You or a friend have certainly been enticed by a "hypoallergenic dog" and smiled at a "teacup." These are not dog breeds that nature created; these are the results of the forced mating or genetic engineering of different breeds, or inbreeding, and popularized by social media and celebrities. In Designer Dogs, Madeline Bernstein, one of the country's most respected animal welfare crusaders, reveals our culture's obsession with new types of dogs--engineering puppies that keep getting smaller or sillier looking--and the horrifying health consequences of this on those we claim as our best friends. She also provides extraordinary revelations on how this has led to a world of "disposable pets"--puppies and adult dogs abandoned when their medical expenses become too costly and added to the 6.5 million animals entering shelters each year, or put on the street--and informed insight into what's ahead: made-to-order puppies; hybrid animals; shorter life spans for dogs; and even the extinction of breeds like French bulldogs, pit bulls, King Charles spaniels, mastiffs, Skye terriers, bloodhounds, and more. And Bernstein calls out those responsible for the savagery, both domestic puppy mills and backyard breeders, and also an international dog trafficking ring that she's been on the front line exposing. In the vein of Peter Singer's groundbreaking and best-selling volume Animal Liberation, this one-of-a-kind book is one of the most important industry exposés ever published. Bernstein's game-changing and unforgettable text, ripe with ethical questions, is a public window into a new and fast-growing industry, and destined to cause outrage and save lives in the process., Designer Dogs is the shocking exposure of the dangers of continuing to make our dogs tinier or funnier looking, more "Instagram worthy," and presents startling new revelations on why this threatens French bulldogs, pit bulls, and other favorite breeds with extinction., Strong, international interest in care and welfare of dogs, as evidenced by author's appearance on Dr. Phil , feature in the New York Post , coverage in the The Sunday Times , and more. Author is a leading expert on the subject. Book is a behind-the-scenes, whistle-blowing look into the industrial manufacturing of the dogs we cherish. Appeals to readers of Peter Singer's Animal Liberation. Greater than half of book's profits to benefit spcaLA.
