Congrats on your new baby, I can't wait to see pictures!!
I see no wrong in getting a mixed pup from a responsible breeder, there just aren't many of those around. By getting one from a breeder who does the health checks and truly cares about them, I can't see how that is much different from a breeder with purebreds, it just isn't as common.
All I can say is, I hope your breeder is one of the responsible ones as I really don't support getting a mix from someone who just throws two mixes together and all the sudden they are designer pups and possibly a genetic time bomb. I really hate when people don't do their research and think they can throw two dogs together and everything will be fine and then they wonder why they end up with a sick pup.
I personally love yorkiepoos. I think they are such a wonderful combination, such smart and playful dogs. I have 2 and wouldn't hesitate to get another from a good breeder. My yorkiepoos are smarter than all the others and their personality is wonderful.
I bred my yorkiepoo once. I knew her background, all parents were tested. I knew what to expect. Puppies went to great homes on a spay contract with a health guarantee and I even gave the new owners a good idea of how their pups would turn out because I did my homework. I didn't charge a ton of money or call them special or designer. But those pups ended up great, so much so that all the owners wanted another one. They were healthy great tempered beautiful yorkiepoos.
I'm just saying, not always is it bad to buy a mixed breed from a breeder, it just depends on their intentions and goals. I'm all for rescuing and encourage it as there are so many great dogs out there but that doesn't mean I don't prefer getting a dog from a breeder where I will know the background, temperament and possible issues whether it be purebred or not. |
