I have a yorkie poo and I love him dearly but he is from a pet store aka puppy mill.

I will never buy another mix again, knowing what I know now and won't support breeders who breed mixes. Of course they are cute (what dog isn't), but breeding just to breed is simply adding to overpopulation among dogs and there's no health screening, no standard to live up to, ect.

There's also no way you can tell what a mixed breed puppy will grow to look like. My yorkie poo Bentley looks very much poodle like and has stayed that way through his adult life, but I've seen other mixes that look night and day from puppyhood to adulthood.

If you really want a mixed breed, I would suggest looking at some local rescues or petfinder.com and not supporting irresponsible breedings. JMO
