Cathi, It is never my intention to hurt anyone ever! I feel the OP was asking for opinions in the first post. I don't feel that I attacked her...well maybe the "you should be ashamed" part I apologize for that but having suffered with a puppymill puppy for 3 years until he died at 3 1/2 has given me cause. When there is talk of "bettering the breed" by mixing them with completely different breeds I always wonder, what breed are you bettering? Surely, neither of the breeds you are mixing. I would NEVER down anyone for their choice of dog, as I said I believe every single dog on this planet deserves to be loved and cared for. EVERY dog should be spoiled rotten with love IMO! BUT the truth is many of these designer dogs have serious health issues (I am NOT saying the OP is breeding unhealthy dogs...how would I know?) and many people who buy them because they ARE "designer dogs" end up giving them to the shelters because they can't house break them/don't have time/don't want the vet bills and so on, contact your local shelter and ask them. If the OP felt I was attacking I do apologize, I thought she was asking for opinions and what I stated is mine. I don't believe anyone was saying it was wrong for you to love/have a mix...that would be silly and wrong! My puppymill puppy Pepper, while being pure bred, was the scruffiest yorkie I had ever seen! LOL I would not have traded him for the world! I am truly sorry you were made to feel bad for your choice...that is just plain wrong!
