The reason stupid people think mixes are healthier is that they are MIXED BREEDS and not tested, not watched (movement), not working (stressed), ect., ect., ect.
Some people think that breeds, name any breed, especially Working Breeds have a LOT of health problems. The truth is....those dogs are Watched more closely by people who know what they are looking at, Tested, and WORKING! It's not that they are any less healthy, it's that they are 'tried and trued'.
There is a kennel (notice no caps) not too far from here with outdoor small pens, the type up off the ground so that the people do not have to clean poop often, USDA approved (I could explode on that line of crap!), pen after pen, pens lined up, cages really. They breed all sorts of MIXED SMALL BREEDS. Mokies is there top selling. They have this xxxxpoo and that xxxxpoo.... and yorkiepoos, obviously their most active stud is a Poodle! Just Tragic! How sad is that!?????
I have no problem with outside, well cared for dogs. Working Dogs should be outdoors to be accustomed to it. Mine are. BUT I AM ALSO OUT THERE WITH THEM FURTHER THAN JUST FEEDING!
And these so called 'rescues' that are BREEDING mixed breed dogs and making up sad stories so that all the folks will send money and buy their dogs!
BUYERS OF THESE DOGS ARE THE PROBLEM! |
Mixed breeds ends up with double whamies, almost every breed has a genetic issue, now you have 2 breeds with genetic issues to be aware of. Anyone I know or meet, I tell them to google the breed their dog is mixed with to see what heath issues they can have because, a mix can have both. Ppl actually think mix dogs are pedigree dogs lol. The younger generation is worse, ones that have never owned a dog actually believe they have a pure bred dog, very very sad.
I agree, many of the larger yorkies are from puppy mills, these are factories that produce dogs, they mate their females with every heat until that females dies. Disgusting. Morkies
are the most popular and the most expensive, next is the yorkiepoo, but not as expensive but they will be and soon, makes me sick to my stomach.
Then we get newbies that say their puppy is CKC registered lol, what they don't know is, there are two CKC
one is the Canadian Kennel Club (CKC) this is like our AKC your litter has to registered.
The the 2nd CKC is the "Continental" Kennel Club (CKC) which is a bogus registry, you can list your kitchen table, they require no proof of a litter, nothing.
It would sicken me if I had to pass a puppy mill often.
