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.[/I] |
I am not trying to pick on you Pat but you give me a chance to make point with your post.
Breeding ANY dog, mix or purebred, takes a home away from a dog in the pound or Humane Society.
It is not a "waste of time" to breed a poodle and a maltese, imo, anymore than breeding two purebred dogs or a German Biewer and an American Parti. I love the look of a malti-poo. "Looks" seem to be what the purebred world is mostly about. These mixes are adorable so there is a "reason" for them.
If the law is to change because of over population, it will not discriminate, all breeding will be regulated to control the population, not just "mixed breed" breeding.
