also purebreds start out as two different or more breeds mixed together. now in no way am i saying that yorkie-poms will be regonzied as "purebreds" but you have to look at both sides. it was infact an accident my husband let them outside one morning for me, when i brought them back in i noticed the male privates were exposed and i asumed they got together its a risked i took not fixing her.and you cant say people are bad breeders because they might have oops litter or even purposely take two really great representations of a breed and mix them for an outcome.
austrailan terrier + silky (years later) = yorkie
these little mixed breeds get great attention and are wanted, now i would never pay some of the prices i have seen on the "designer breeds" but i did pay well for mine. and i am happy with them.
its all in what you want or like
i think a bad breeders is someone who doest care well for the dogs and puppies, or breeds large quanitys of puppies, live in dirty unkept places, the puppies are sickly etc...
i LOVE yorkies but love some of the mixes too. |
Yes, all purebreds start out as the mixing of something, but with over population the way it is.. we really don't need any new mixes because pretty much there are no new needs.
You know, my first dog was a yorkie poo, purchased from a pet store and I spent over 1,000 dollars on him... since then somehow or another I've ended up w/two other mixes. After really researching mixed breeds and what it is doing to our shelters and over population issues.. I've just made a personal choice not to buy another mixed breed.
Sure, I think ALL dogs are cute.. mixes being no exception.. ( I think mine are the most beautiful dogs a momma could ask for
).. but it's more of a feeling of personal responsibility to not contribute to a growing problem anymore.
I can understand that accidents happen and I'm in no way trying to start the debate on mixes vs purebred. All I'm saying is that stating that every dog came from a mix at one time is a really detrimental point of view, IMO.. because having an occasional litter and saying it's okay because every dog came from something could open the door way for more unplanned litters or possibly even planned litters because they *are* in demand.
I know that you're puppies will be totally adorable and I hope that you find them all wonderful homes
