The people who want to be educated can be. But there is always room for a difference of opinion, even after researching and studying. I personally don't have a problem with mixed breeds within limits. Not a Rotti/Shire certainly, but mixed small breeds are okay with me. There will always be pure bred Yorkies, and as long as the mixes are sold as mixes, there should be room for them too. Just because I wouldn't do it, doesn't mean it is a sin for someone else to do it.
And as I've said before "pound" puppies/dogs are just not for everyone. We all should have a choice. I would be more comfortable with the OP's actions if she hunted down the owner/breeder of the dogs in the pound and questioned them. Unless the seller is a puppy mill, or seriously endangering the lives of the mother/puppies, I think there should be a peaceful co-existence.
Of course this is just my opinion and I realize others may differ. PEACE!
