So people decide to go through a breeder. If she went to the pet store she could find what she is looking for, so I see no reason not to help her find a good breed who just happens to breed a mix. and lots of hobby breeders breed only one kind of mix.
Stop hating on the mixes.  It is going to continue because people want them and I personally see nothing wrong with it (some mixes)..
I also want to add that I personally would never breed a yorkie with anything other than another yorkie just because they are wonderful and perfect as they are  |
I just wonder if you realize how you might come across with your discouraging words about rescue? There are people reading this thread who are considering adopting from a rescue and your negativity is very disturbing. I have adopted from a yorkie rescue group and they were in no way intrusive in my personal life, nor did they ask inappropriate questions as you are suggesting. I now volunteer and foster for another yorkie rescue group and while we may have many questions, they all pertain to the well being of the pups and are very important in ensuring proper placement and a happy, healthy environment. I'm not saying adoptiing from a rescue is for everyone, but please don't give others the idea that it's a bad experience - because it isn't. These little guys in rescue are wonderful, adorable, loveable babies that deserve a good home.
