Nancy,
I agree with your last post - but even the "may" is more "none". I'm am new to this forum thing - so haven't yet learned how to do the "quotes" - please bear with me there.

I think that if someone is going to breed for the Hybrid puppy, than it is important just as breeding for a purebred to use the best of each breed - not just a dog that can't "cut it" as a breeder for a purebred dog - or not just someone that gets a non standard "pet quality" for a small amount of money then thinks they will just breed these dogs to make the "designer puppy" and make more money. But if someone really wants a nice "Morkie" or Yorkiepoo, or some other such hybrid dog - then they also deserve to have healthy, hearty, and sounds dogs in their hybrid pet also.

On one part of the article is says "may" and on a different part of the article, lower down, it says "often". The vet's that I spoke to also used the word "often" or "more often", or "more of a chance" etc. In either way, you are only going to get the better if you breed the best quality.

I only put the quote: Hybrid dogs, created by breeding two purebred dogs of different breeds (crossbred), have the advantage of heterosis, or hybrid vigor, and are often stronger and healthier than either of the parents. from Wikipedia (this same information can be found from any other places) to show that if done right, it is not necessarily going down in the quality of the puppy / dog as I have seen it said as "fact" no matter what, on YT quite often. But like the breeding of the purebred dog - a person doing this should learn as much as possible so that they do produce very nice puppies.

Anyone who thinks a good breeder makes a lot of money by raising puppies, has never been a "good" breeder". That goes for either the purebred dog or the designer dog. I am also thinking about Breeders that charge reasonable prices. Maybe those that dress their babies up like little Barbie dolls to sell them for $2500 and up are making money

. I don't know anything about them. But I wouldn't recommend buying from them anyway.
