It to me seems that they are all lumped with all the other devil breeders out there and that's not fair! There are pure bred yorkie breeders who breed for the money too which to me is a reason to call a breeder unethical along with ones who treat their dogs like cash cows. There are breeders of all kinds like that! But cross breeders are the only ones who
immediately are slammed for just cross breeding. There is something screwed up and off to me about using that word out of context and in the true meaning of the word! That's
all I was saying! Thanks for helping me to clear up the morkie bit!
Ps. The definition of unethical in webster's dictionary is:
"not morally correct." the adjectives associated with this word are: immoral, unprincipled, unscrupulous, dishonorable, dishonest, wrong, deceitful, unfair, fraudulent, underhanded, wicked, evil, sneaky, corrupt. No where in that list is there a word that cross breeding applies to unless the person is trying to pass off their cross breed as a pure bred!
The definition of a mutt in the dictionary is "a mongrel dog, a long haired mutt of doubtful pedigree!" cross breeds are not doubtful in pedigree |
A Parti Yorkie and or Biewer is not a mixed breed. Parti is a Yorkshire Terrier and the Biewer is the name the German breeder gave his Yorkshire Terrier line that had different coloring. Of course it's more detailed than this but BOTH are not mixed breeds. A Morkie though loved by many members on YT is a mutt/mongrel no matter how cute they may be, or how you want to sugar coat it, or how many feelings get hurt in calling it that. A mutt or mongrel is a dog with two or more breeds use in the making. No reputable, ethical, responsible Yorkshire Terrier breeder mixes their breed line with another breed...PERIOD! I would say to anyone who wants one, just love your Morkie's and stop being offended by the facts. But trying to convince people of how ethical a BYB breeder who breeds mixed dogs are, is pointless in the world of having integrity.
