In a way you're right. But, if you choose to go with a "new breed" you have to put in more leg work. You have to know why the breeder is creating a new breed. What are they hoping to achieve? What characteristics are they trying to bring out? For what reasons? How many generations of yorkiepoos would this be? (as in how many generations away from the original yorkie and poodle will this litter be?) What Heath gets have they done? (it should probably be twice as many as a purebred because they have to look out for the health problems yorkies face and the ones poodles do as well) How close are they keeping records? When trying to establish a new breed, records are extremely important. I know some will argue that it's not true, because no one kept records of where the yorkies cane from. There are records, and if there aren't any, we know better now.
Honestly, if the breeder is going back and using purebreds for every litter of mixes they produce, they are only producing puppies for the sake of producing them. How is that any better than a puppymill? A puppymill, byb, or whatever produces puppies for the sake of producing puppies. Yes they are cute, but there are also other cute dog's in the shelter that were produced by puppymills and byb. It's not the dog's fault that they are no longer a puppy, and are undesirable to most people.
