So very sorry for your loss! It can be overwhelming at times.

Reputable breeders who are members of their breed clubs et al, will not breed mixes; after all we have commited to the pure bred dog world. And we do have rules governing the deliberate breeding of mixes.

The problem as I see it with a purebred crossed to another purebred, is that if you look at the genetic health issues of each breed (which as a responsible breeder you should), then how do you know if you are doubling up on recessive health issues? There are scant few breeders out there actually monitoring the health of their litters, and doing all the health checks prior to breeding.

ONce again I am so very sorry for your loss.
