Why do you want a mix? The reason breeders breed purebreds, is they can predict results. When you are breeding a mix, you can't predict anything. Some people think you get the best of all traits, but this isn't true, you could easily get the worst of all traits. I think the only reason people should buy a puppy is to show support to really good breeders, someone who you really believe is doing right by the breed, and isn't trying to make a living off of breeding. You won't find a reputable breeder breeding mixes, they probably didn't have breeding rights to their dog, and couldn't register them with the AKC because of that, and so decided to mix it, since mixes can't be registered anyway. If you really want a yorkiepoo, please try rescues and shelters; many shelters are turning away dogs they are so overloaded.
