I too have a mix. She is 1/2 Yorkie and 1/2 Maltese. I in no way was trying to make anyone feel unwelcomed. Maybe, I misread something but it bothered me a little when it was mentioned that "who sells designer breeds mostly reputable breeders working on the creation of crossing genetics across breed lines." I realize you also went on to say that someone trying to make a quick buck also sells too, but I still have to disagree. No one reputable will cross breed knowing how many mixed puppies are in shelters. Didn't mean to upset you or anyone else. I really didn't. I just felt that that statement may lead someone on a hunt for a "Reputable" breeder of mixes and I do not believe there is any out there. Again, I really didn't mean for it to make anyone feel unwelcomed and I'm sorry if that was the way it was taken. Elaine
