Your posts are well put. I like my yorkie, boston and min. schnauzer (all pure breeds) but I loved my mutt I had my whole life just as much. BUT people who are involved in trying to come up w/ new breeds (labradoodle is probably the biggest right now) are charging large prices, but I know of one in my neighborhood that everyone seems to have bought from and they are sooo very passionate about creating a breed standard (just as so many have in the past). I think the intent of the breeder has to be looked at. Accidents happen but if the litters cost as much as everyone seems to thing (where they are making no money at 1500-3000 per puppy) then it only makes since that she wouldn't give them away. She shouldn't have to pay for her workers mistakes out of her own pocket when their are a lot of people in search of morkies. (again... just following some people line of logic...not necc. what I believe). If the person is just into designer dogs to make a profit it is another story. I think a lot of people are doing it ...not to come up w/ another breed...not because of an accident... just because people will spend a fortune on the "designer" dog label. Which is freaking crazy!
