"And about the question above, sorry to say but mixed breed dogs don't have 'less health probelms than purebreds.' Since cotton-pickin' when?? My aunt has a Yorkie/Chihuahua cross who had the very same knee joint problem Yorkies are prone to!
Genetic health problems are caused by bad breeders and can occur in bad cross-breeding just as easily. Don't fall for that myth."
Summer, I am so glad you pointed that out. It is exactly true.
For all those saying they would pay 500+dollars for a certain mix, I just cannot understand your reasoning.
I am with everyone who says if you are going to get a mix go rescue a puppy at the pound.
This designer dog craze is making me nuts!!!! I think it is about people that do not want to put the time effort and money into producing nice purebred dogs, they just do not want to have to have a standard to compare them to.
It is a good money making scheme tho, I will give you that. |
