Not to be smart or anything but I have the right to want whatever dog breed I please whether its purbred or not . I never said that a mix breed guaranteed that there will be no health issues with a dog . A purebred basically has a 100% chance of getting the genetic afflictions associated with its breed . Whereas a mixed breed dog has a 50% chance . As much as everyone may love the Yorkie breed here , I think that it is very unfair of you to downplay mixed breed dogs personalities because they are mot purebred . Mixed breeds can be just as charming , loving , caring , intelligent and funny as any other breed . That is a really discrimatory judgement of mixed breed dogs .
