You and Piper are very valuable and needed members of YorkieTalk. I started a thread about "designer dogs" - I hope my thread didn't offend you.
What hurts my heart is knowing that so many people combine multiple pure breeds and then advertise them as some exotic "designer dogs" and sell them for huge amounts of $$. It just seems sad that the quest for the almighty dollar the intentionally mixed breeds have become so highly sought after from "breeders" when there are so many mixed breeds in shelters who desperately need homes.
Most of the dogs that I grew up with were mutts" from the pound. We called them "Henzi 57". It wasn't necessary for us to give them a fancy-schmancy name. They were what they were - mixed dogs who were loved unconditionally. |
