When I wanted a 2nd yorkie, I found very quickly I could not afford one. My friend had a shihpoo that was the sweetest little dog and Otis loved him to pieces. The people she got him from were advertising and had more shih poo's. Turns out, being poor was a blessing for me because my "mixed breed" shih poo is just as I thought he would be, sweet, obedient (most of the time), silly, and cute as a button. It's great to be loyal to a breed, but when preference of one breed turns into "snubbing" of all others, purebred or mixed, it's time to check yourself. I myself have never seen a thread here talking down about mixed breeds, if I did I would be very disappointed. We are yorkie lovers, but we are animal/dog lovers first.
