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 |
The question is why would a good breeder, breed Yorkie-Poos?
I have a Yorkie-Poo who I love dearly, but we adopted her from a family who didn't want her and they weren't treating her properly, IMO.
Yorkies & Poodles are both hypo-allergenic dogs, so why mix them? If you have a good representation of each breed, AKC registered and within the breed standard, you wouldn't mix them, JMO.
I actually do understand Labradoodles for people who want large dogs, but need hypo-allergenic dogs. I could be mistaken, but I don't think there are very many options for large breeds that are hypo-allergenic.
