I'm not saying it's "wrong." Nothing is black and white. I am just saying that I am predicting the designer mutt trend (mixed breeds selling for huge prices) will have a bad impact on shelters. I agree, they both end up in shelters. But the mixed breed has more of a chance of dying. Even full breeds die, my sister drove 7 hours to save a prebreed rott on death row last month.
I have a feeling we are going to see an HUGE jump in the pet population in a few years if this fad continues including even more yorkies in the pound. I believe that we'll see more backyard breeders because this fad has taken alot of work out of breeding and people will be cross breeding their dog everywhere. I honestly with all my hope that I'm wrong and we'll see no effect but in my heart I feel like it's going to happen and few people seem to be thinking ahead.
