What Does Everyone Think of Morkie/YorkiePoos?

I'm not saying it's easy for any breeder to part with that show dog but again realistically it's in the dog's best interest not that we aren't in love with them as you are it's just that we can't keep everything that we show and breed...like you said I haven't been faced with that choice yet and I hope I never have too but being realistic I don't see anyway around it if I want to continue with breeding my next show dog. Like I stated in another post of mine I'd rather show than breed anyway! The stress kills me and gives me more grey hairs!

Donna, thanks for all of the insight. It's been so nice to have a conversation on a delicate subject with no drama or attacks. My first reaction to breeders rehomeing their breeders was that they must be very cold (which is why I asked the question, to get insight). I no longer feel that way. I have a lot of respect for what you all do! Again, thanks for sharing

LOL! its like shes the next step in doggie evolution!

Tammy thank you for your kind words!! I can see where some would think show breeders are cold but that's why I am glad you asked the question helps explain that we are not cold but are very loving and very caring for all our yorkies whether they be pets or show dogs.
No drama or attacks needed This can be discussed in an adult manner we just proved it All I try to do is educate
Again, Thanks Tammy!!!

As many of you know, Jaxon is a yorkipoo, I have had 2 previous yorkies & went to get another & fell in love the "Jax-a-poo". I was very surprised to hear the horrible comments about mixes, & things said to each other on here. I'm glad Jaxon loves everyone uncondtionally & without prejudice to breed, race or age!! Please don't put the hate on me for falling in love with the best dog, (of any kind) that I have ever owned.....by the way, I am in my 40's and I feel that everyone has something of value that you can learn from. Please let's all play nice! We hope everyone will love us even though Jaxon isn't PUREBRED anything...will neither am I....I believe there is German, English & a little bit of Indian in me! Hugs-Kay

HE is adorable!!!
I think everyone has their own views and opinions and they were shared on this thread.When someone is told something they do not agree with things get heated,if you have a view on something and someone tells you that you are wrong you will defend your self and what you belive in and rightfully so.I really do not think anyone is really upset about anything.
Just like our dogs mine tend to have discussions (fueds) now and then,but then they are all playing together later.
We love you and Jaxon, That is one thing nice about animal s they love you unconditionaly

Hi, I used to be a regular on YorkieTalk, but stopped coming on here about a year ago for exactly this reason. Everyone on here is SO judgemental. Do you honestly think that breeding only "Purebred" dogs make you a reputable breeder? Believe me there are plenty of people out there breeding purebred Yorkshire Terriers just to make a buck.

I don't know why I came back on here. I remember when this used to be a loving, encouraging community...I guess times have changed.

I have to agree some are very judgemental it is their way or the highway.But many of us are not!
This a open forum not just for those who think it is thier way or the highway.
We can all learn from others opinions and view points not just those posters who think they are right.(And we can learn things from them also.)
YT is known on other forums for this and that is to bad.
Please stay on and resume posting.

aw, we love all dogs here. I love the dogs, but I just don't agree with those purposely breeding them. But mixes are great dogs too and certainly adorable.

this is a loving, encouraging community. Because I love dogs, I cannot support unreputable breeders when so many dogs are dieing in shelters each day. And, yes, I don't believe any reputable breeder breeds mixed breed dogs. However, just because you breed purbreds definitely does not make one a reputable breeder. There are many many unreputable breeders of purebreds as well. No one is being judgemental...just stating opinions. I feel this way about breeding because of all the dogs abandoned, beaten, neglected, and dieing in shelters everyday. Most people need to stop breeding and contributing to the pet population...there are too many dogs and not enough homes.

It's never going to happen..people will continue to breed their mixes, because they have that option to do so, and there are a lot of people that continue to want them..I actually know quite a few people that don't want a purebred yorkie or a purebred maltese, they want the morkie..they have their rights to have what kind of breed they want..And, I am very happy to say, out of the 16 or so pups my sister had(the youngest being 5 now), they are all very healthy, all in their original homes, and none have LP, LS or anything else wrong with them..
