If you choose a mix breed you don't always get the best of both worlds, there is no way to really predict which traits your dog will inherit.
I don't think that mixed breed dogs are better or worse than those that are purebred, but I do however feel that the people who breed for a mix breed are something to be leery of. There is no way that somone breeding a mix is doing it to better the breed, there for, they are only breeding for personal gain, or money. I feel like you should have more reason to bring life into an already overpopulated pet world than just to line your pockets. You cannot make a better, healthier yorkie by crossing it with another breed. I think that both breeds have their goods and bads, but what ever you choose please make sure that you are choosing a reputable breeder that is in it to better the breed, these are the ones that we should be supporting.
