Not to be off subject but IMO it would be better if there was more mixing and less pure breeding...pure pred dogs have so many genetic defects it's ridiculous and my pure bred yorkie has had so many health problems! I love her to death but can't help but think that she would be so much better if she had a little maltese or poodle or whatever in her! Healthy dogs are so much more important to me than a "pure" one. (I understand the issue with the unethicality though and that's wrong/dishonest but if they were never mixed would the breed survive ultimately anyway? Haven't yorkie's been bred down from what they were originally?) |
