Hello I am a breeder to start and I do have mixed breeds,
I do not want to start a whole fight either but your opinion is always welcome on Yorkie talk.
my web site
www.royalpuppies.com has both Pure Bred puppies which I sell from my mother another breeder (of Pure breds or Impoted breeds) and I sell the mixes. We have a few different breeds
(Morkie, Yorktese which is basically the same except that mother and father inversed. In a morkie the mother is Maltese and Yorktese the Mother is Yorkie.) (Yorkie Maltese mix) We also have the Chorkie (Yorkie Chihuahua mix) which sells for less than the Morkie.
Our morkies generally sell at 1200$ Canadian funds. They are vaccinated dewormed twice, vet checked, and guaranteed for 1 year against hereditary defects. We also guarantee 10 days against Viral disease. Same goes to all of our breeds.
I know it is not in everyones budget but I thought you should know of the advantages of mixing breeds.
Please take a look at our Chorkies (Female Chihuahua Male Yorkie)
http://www.royalpuppies.com/chorkiesavailable.htm
You will see that they look almost like regular long or short haired Chihuahuas but NONE have any of the health defects popular to the Chihuahua (like the hole in the head) "MOLERA" they also have less gum teeth and nose problems. you also can choose from a more wide variety of temperaments becuase they can have a mixture of both Yorkie and Chihuahua temperaments.
For those who do not aprove that Mixes should not be bred purposely I ask your opinion or answer to this question. This is honest and I am not being sarcastic please do not take this the whrong way.
Why buy a pure bred Chihuahua with high risks of health issues when you can buy a puppy (mixed) that looks like the Chihuahua, has more variety in temperaments and also has less chances of having the common health issues?
I am asking your opinions I don't mean to start anything here I know some people are against the Mixed breeding. And if you want to talk to me personally you can always email me (info@royalpuppies.com) and it won't get you in trouble with Yorkie Talk.
Our Morkies are also great! They have incredible personalities and also a great look. Don't forget a Mixed breed today can be a Pure Breed Tomorrow. How where all the breeds invented?
There is also the fact of the prices. Our morkies are generally 1200$ for standard size and 1500$ for teacups sizes (runts only) We do not breed teacups on purpose for any breed. They are all guaranteed for 1 year. We are also reasonable if you find a hereditary defect after that 1 year we will accept responsability. Our Chorkies prices range from 500 to 1200 canadian dollars.
For the prices wether you find them reasonable or way too high we also raise our puppies with both humans and other dogs (we are a family of 7 giving attention to our puppies and dogs all day every day 24/7.)
Please let us know your opinion(s) In the future it could change the way I make business and the way I see things.
Puppy Hugs!
