Excuse me, but I'm fully aware that many people here on YT have a wide array of mixed breeds, just as there are many who do not support breeders who produce them. No one said anything about mixes being lesser dogs or suggested that those who love them are inferior in any way. Just because someone does not support them being purposely bred does not mean they are think ill of the dogs.
It seems that the difference of opinion is in what one views as a "reputable" breeder. The standards you use to make that assessment are clearly different. If someone post asking for advice, you are free to exhault the practice of breeding mutts just as others are free to offer advice for why they do not support it. What others choose to take from it is up to them.
As you seem to be very passionate in your stance on the matter, I am very intrested to know what qualities you believe make a Morkie breeder "reputable." What steps do the ones you have encountered take? The way I view it, it's an 'easy way out' for people to make money off their dogs, but clearly, you've witnessed otherwise. There are many concerns that people have with those breeding to produce mutts--what have you seen in 'reputable' Morkie breeders to address and disprove those concerns?
I am curious though...if the breeder you got your dog from had so many request for Morkies, why was she having to run an ad in the paper. Clearly, the demand she claimed she was breeding to meet was no longer there, so what was her reason for continuing?
