Default mixes

Do you plan on creating a Yorkie mix free of disease? If so, don't waste your time. All breeds have genetic problems and diseases do not discriminate.

It is not a question of what is better..pure or mixed, in my opinion. I choose not to breed a mix because it takes a home away from the mix in the pound or Humane society.
Purebred Yorkies find their way to the pounds also, but it is very rare for one to not find a forever home. Yorkies mixes are not so lucky. Pound Labs, shepherds, golden, etc mixes stand NO chance of finding homes when breeders produce them a designer pups.

I have known a number of Yorkie mixes..they we re all great little pets..but as far as being healthier, better pets with better coats and colors, I do not find that to be true.
A Poodle is a fine breed, so is a Maltese or a Pom, why breed it with a Yorkie to improve something that does not need to be improved..a waste of time IMO.
