If breeders are breeding poor representatives of the breed, we will lose the look and attitude of the Yorkshire terrier, as we know it. Your main goal is to sell dogs, and at one time this wasn't such a bad thing, but right now we have more pets than homes for them. Mixed breeds are a problem because no one can predict what the offspring will look like and how they will behave and many mixed breeds end up in the pound because people are disappointed with the looks of the adult. Also, what makes you think that people are spending $3,000 for pet yorkies? Are you talking about breeding dogs or pets? Why would you be able to breed a mixed breed cheaper than a purebred, vet costs are the same.
