yorkies were bred with 3 different terriers, to come up with the yorkie breed- evey breed in the AKC has been mixed with other dogs to get what is wanted!

All the breeds registerable with AKC today were bred for a purpose. Those that developed our yorkshire terrier had a goal in mind when creating them. Certain breeds were used for certain reasons. It takes years and years to get a breed to breed true and become recognized by the AKC.

However, "designer" dogs are not being bred to create a new breed. They are 1st generation crosses. There is NO purpose in these mixes except to create cute puppies that can be sold for money. Breeders give them cutesy names, say they are rare or a new breed, and sell them for a lot of money. No one is trying to create a new breed with these crosses...just creating mixes.

So big difference in the breeds we have today and these designer dogs...one was bred for a purpose and the other was bred with no purpose (except money)
