if you are looking for a mix breed dog please look into rescue.
I got my dog from a breeder who bred mixes, I saw my pups mom and she had a great website and was a very nice lady. She was not mean to the dogs and they lived in good conditions but she is and was a backyard breeder. She was making 'designer dogs' for money and did not do health or genetic testing. As a result I have a yorkiepoo who has several health issues, a couple very severe. His medical care probably cost me over $5,000 since I have had him (6 years). I love him and would do it again but it is not something I would recommend. A good breeder does what they do in the best interest of the dogs and of the breed. In the end go with what you think is right but you have a wealth of knowledge and experience at your disposal here at YT, take your time and research.
