Cross breeding to get designer dogs, in order to create "super dogs" is great for entrepreneurs, searching for the next big payday....but breeders of old
established breeds, such as the Yorkie, which dates back to the
1800's, is just not something we consider acceptable. (FYI: This is exactly what happened to Dr Spcck....he finally admitted to the world that he "felt hes theories on raising kids, had led to the ruination of an entire generation of kids, and that the generations going forward, as products of his flawed theory on permissiveness, would also be ruined." But unfortunately the damage has been done and there is no going back...kind of like breeding labradoodles.)
