| You are kidding right! Get our dog fixed and encourage you friend to do the same. Why would you risk your dogs life for more mutt dogs in the world? Mutts should happen by accident not because you want to see what happens. |

| I have to agree with MPlayman. Breeding your dog is a SERIOUS process and when done correctly can become costly, certainly not to be done "just to see what they look like". IMO that is cruel. |

I actually found this post offensive to all of the precious mixed breed dogs out there but I do agree that you should not let your dogs breed. Regardless, of whether they are mixed breeds or not, only experienced breeders who have done the research and genetic testing should be breeding. Just be happy with your little precious Yorkie and keep her safe

I felt MPlayman was saying to see what they would like is a horrible reason to breed your dog with another breed, thus a making a mutt out of curiousity. Edited to say my mutt is the one in the avitar pic with her sweater rolled up under her arms. | |

| I agree with the message of the post, I just think the tone of the message came across as hateful toward mixed breeds. "Why would you risk your dogs life for more mutt dogs in the world?" That may not have been the intent but that's the way it came across to me. JMO

| To be clear. I have nothing against mixed accidental puppies/dogs. I love all dogs. I just think that people who know NOTHING about breeding and do it for fun, money or "just cause my dog needs to get some", shouldn't! I do think all the mix breeding is wrong when its done on purpose. This is my PO. Please take a look at the shelter or on Craigslist, or Kijiji! For that matter any newspaper. There are tons of dogs in there. Ask how many are PTS each DAY! One shelter in AZ had over 300 dogs. Most are APTS after a 10 DAY hold. That is truly sad. |

It wasn't the message of your post that I found offensive, it was the tone/wording.

| "However, I think that the majority of people in this world shouldn't be breeding" True true so true |

I would strongly suggest you think about what you are planning on doing. I see you are asking in other threads if you should breed your yorkie with the neighbor's doxie. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/gen...etalk-com.html You will not find anyone's blessings to do so here. The animal shelters are FULL of accidental mixed breed dogs, why do you want to contribute to that, and on purpose for that matter? In addition, when breeding mixed breeds, you never know how the end result will look like, even within littermates their look can vary. It's a dangerous crapshoot. I don't understand why you are so "whatevers" about it. And the web is full of pics of dorkies, in this thread even there are pics, have you read anything about them?

| Dorkies My 25 yr old son has a male Dachshund named Rubble. When Sophie came to us in September, he teased me by saying "We're going to mate Rubble and Sophie. We'll call their pups Weenkies". Needless to say, when Rubble comes to visit and play with his cousin, they are carefully chaperoned. |
