One comment -
George, you did take some offence to having your dog called a "mutt." Please don't! When people stop me on the street and ask me what kind of dog my little man is I will tell them that he's a Mr. Bun! They then ask me where they can get one, and I politly inform them that when God made Bun, they broke the mold!
To be honest, I don't think the word "mutt" is an insult
(some of my most beloved dogs in my life have been members of the "M" word constituency)! Well, if you want to be politically correct, "mixes" "unregistered" or "paperly challenged." It's like calling someone a blond or a brunette!
A mutt is just a dog whose parents were of two different breeds, or were of unknown breeding (mutts or unregistered purebreds themselves)and in either case, cannot be registered as a purebred with any of the major dog registries (or listed as one of the more ancient, rare breeds - for instance the Neopolitan Mastiff and Glen of Immal Terrier are both purbreds, because stud books were kept on them for ages and these books were "closed" but both breeds were only recently accepted into the AKC (in comparison the article about the puggles illustrates that they "create" these dogs by going back to crosses of beagle with pug rather than puggle to puggle)). So, by that definition, your dog IS a mutt but that doesn't make him any less cute or lovable!
On a side note, since we are talking about "good breeders" and "bad breeders," and "good" and "bad" breeding, I do have to admit that although I understand that Yorkietalk does not have control over the adds Google (ah-ha?) posts on this site, and someone has to pay for the cost of this message board, there are some "Advertisments" I wish were not posted up there. Some of these breeders whose links are being hosted use words like "Teacup" in thier advertisng and sell crosses like "Tzu and Yorkie." I'll leave it at that to avoid causing "trouble." N'est pas?
