biewer to biewer is best.. but these dogs cost a lot of money. a female to breed is like 3-5000$$$ im just using my male stud to improve my hybrids..

I know how much they cost, I have one!! I've had mine for 2 1/2 years...

Well, then you must be in it for the money, and people that pay big bucks for designer dogs needs to do some research..My sister used to breed, she always did morkies, I didn't agree with her, but it was her choice, she sold her pups for $400 and never did make any money on them, but, she did know you could go out and buy a purebred for just a bit more..Now, lets see, if I was going to buy a designer dog for $800 or a yorkie for $1000, I would pay the $1000 before I would pay the $800..Most people with a brain would!

this is a quote from the Pam Green link above:

Designing for performance: Let's face it: all purebred dog breeds started out as mixes. Doberman pinschers were a designer dog created from several breeds (including Rottweilers and some terriers) in Germany at the turn of the last century. Around the same time, Americans were developing the Boston terrier, starting with the mix of bulldogs and terriers. Even ancient breeds were selectively created at some time by humans who were crossing the best hunting dogs or the best herding dogs. That same kind of creative breeding is going on today.



It is not going to stop- Improve hopefully!

Malteses are the only dog that never had anything bred with them..but, every other breed did...it took years and years to get the purebred

inbreeding the purebred dogs is not a good idea??????
shouldnt it skip a generation???

You're wrong on that..$500 for a lot of people is hard to come up with these days..just because someone pays the big bucks for a dog, doesn't mean they treat it any better than someone that pays $100....
