I think a lot of them were already breeding the parent breeds and then just started adding the mixes. Know someone who was a very respectable shih tzu breeder and started breeding shih-poos and then shorkies because, (her words) her shih tzu's were not selling as well any more and she is now living off only breeding.
I no longer speak to her, but she isn't lazy.. She spends her whole day caring for those dogs and puppies and manages to keep a clean house.
I am not defending the mixing she does and living off them (I am against breeding for profit..period!), only making a point that she isn't anywhere near lazy.
