Many people who wants designer breed already made up their mind and they won't stop looking for designer breed. I know that there are many breeders who will cross breed anything to make $$$$. However, is it really impossible to find some breeder who has been cross breeding certain breed for long enough time(invest enough time educating oneself to insure quality of mixed breed) to be not considered as unethical breeder? The reason why I am asking this is that if we turn them down, they'll probably go to some pet store(which is easy way) and get unhealthy puppy mill puppy.  |
We tell them that no reputable breeder will cross breed because no reputable breeder will.
Breeding should be done for the betterment of the breed. I couldn't in all good conscience help them find a breeder of a cross breed. They can usually find a cross breed at the animal shelters or rescues - or if they want to pay good money for a mutt they can do a search on the internet for whatever cross breed they are looking for.
