I'm sure "most" do breed for the money--the reason I say this is because "most" of the dogs you see being produced these days are clearly not well bred or far from the breed standard. Those producing that caliber of dog are certainly not in it for breed preservation and appreciation...
Again, there is nothing wrong with wanting a mutt. I think that anyone who supported a breeder with questionable practices, be they purebreds or mutts, would face the same scrutiny. I wouldn't support someone breeding pure Yorkies who was in it just for the money either. I guess with the "designer breeds" it's just easier to distinguish those types of breeders.
