From what I have read about the severe genetic problems with Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, I would never dare to have one or a dog mixed with one. |
I agree, I think Yorkies & Terriers in general have a puppy look to them. I hightly doubt that the CKCS used or are being used to make this 'designer breed' are health screened or tested. I found this site that lists all the CKCS health problems:

Even tho they used a geneticist, I don't think they bred the hereditary diseases out of them as the mixed breed breeders claim...the puppies are most likely carriers one way or another. But what do I know, I'm not a geneticist.

Supposedly, they don't shed & don't bark. But don't all dogs bark?? |
That's a ridiculous price tag...for a mixed dog
, you can rescue a dog from the shelter & that $ could feed thousands for months. I know Besenjis & Malamutes don't bark...don't know about these guys. Poodles are very vocal, so are Bichons.
