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. |
didnt say anything on the vet cost
its not that i dont get why they do what they do..i choose not to go that route..its not something i want to do..and there more people out there less interested in the showing aspect then just wanting a pet.
i do know what my mixes will looking like..always the same features, same hair, some times there is a vary in color...its either golden, blonde or the yorkie black n gold..all have been 3-5lbs full grown, great temperaments
