I agree with DukesMommy. I also think the term mutt has been around to describe a dog that is not pure bred for a long time and that is what a cross breed is. By putting the tag Designer dogs label on them it makes it seem as if they are better than other dogs. Gypsy and Puff are the first full blooded dogs I have ever had. We chose them cause of the smallness of their breeds. (I know now you can't count on Yorkies being small from this board). I think designer dog label equals more money. Just like the term teacup is not liked on here, I dislike the term designer dogs. One of my favorite dogs my mom had was a cock-a-poo. Back then it did not cost much. I think she pd 35.00. Now they cost about the same a yorkie.

I do not see anything wrong with mixed breeds in general. I think cross breeding is how we came up with yorkies and other full breeds way back when.
