But you have to understand. There is a difference between breeding for a purpose and actually studying for YEARS the genetics of the dogs you are breeding and actually crossbreeding for a purpose.

But these "designer" mutts are not for a purpose, they are being breed either as a cash cow or because those uneducated on dogs decided to breed there dogs because they think "they will make cute puppies".

I also have to disagree, every dog isn't a mutt. Hundred of years old breeding have assured me that when I breed a yorkie to a yorkie I'll get a yorkie. If I breed a golden retriever to a golden retriever I'll get a golden retriever. Mutts to me are dogs that can be bred with unpredictable result in offspring.
