Mixed breeds being exploited for the sole purpose of making money, I feel is the main point that most posters are trying to get across. Whether a dog is a full, mixed, champion, or not should never matter. The most important thing is that they all need and deserve our love and protection, and I can tell by your posts that you fit into that category. :aimeeyorkYorkieProud:aimeeyork |
Of course you are welcome here! I purchased Roxie as a full blooded yorkie, but plenty of people have asked me if she is mixed with silky because of her coloring, I tell them Im not sure, but regardless I love her to pieces and dont really care..Like someone else said shes half yorkie half human..haha. |
I think Chattiesmom summed it up well. It's not mixed breed dogs I have a problem with, after all, nearly all the dogs in my life have been mixes dumped by someone else. Some were healthy, others got the worst health problems of both breeds. The creation of the Labradoodle, although done with good intentions, has led to a plethora of back yard breeders who are throwing two dogs together with no thought of what exactly they are creating. Genetics is such a complicated thing even when you know long histories on your dams and sires. Too many people are breeding blindly yet selling the public on the idea that these new mixes are healthier or have/don't have certain traits without any good data to back it up. I lump the terms "designer dogs" and "hybrids" right down there with "teacup" and "pocket pup"- marketing terms meant to sell a product to a public that may or may not be doing there homework before bringing a pup in to their home. |
A lot of people on YT have mixed breeds! We have a Yorkie Poo ourselves! :) The issue revolves more around the breeders of mixed breeds! |
Great informative thread, thanks for starting it, and I hope you now can see the difference, it's not about the dogs, it's about the breeders! All dogs are lovable, but not all of them should be bred, and certainly not indiscriminately! Some purebred breeders are no better than mixed breed breeders, they are breeding their pets solely for profit! I believe we should support the best breeders we can find, when you give fanancial support to a breeder, you are telling them that you approve of their breeding program. |
You and Piper are so welcome here! :) We're glad to have you! |
I saw a yorkie/maltese at my vet's office recently. She was beautiful. Later I met the guy who owns her, told him to call me if he ever needed a new home for her. |

I understand about your breeder even if I don't agree with breeding mixes. We have a parti yorkie boy now, and I feel the very same way you do about our boy's breeder. Even though many here do not agree with breeding parti yorkies, and tend to lump all of the parti breeders together, I've have learned there are big differences in breeders. I've yet to come across any breeder that is as devoted to her babies as Tammy. She does truly love them as members of her family, and that is not a phrase I use often about breeders. |
you are more than welcome here. my two are supposed to be purebreds, but who on earth knows for sure. in fact my male is supposed to be a purebred Silky Terrier and yet he's accepted as a yorkie just like every other member of the family. we're all a bunch of dog lovers in the long run. sure it sucks when someone takes two purebred dogs and mixes them up and sells them to the unsuscpecting public for outrageous fees. they are mixed which is totally fine, but it's not "designer" it's just mixed and they shouldn't cost more than a purebred or even truely as much as a purebred....but other than that all dogs are welcome. there is no descrimination here :p not to mention i at times invite people to join that don't even have a yorkie just cause it's so darn much fun around here ;) |
Just wanted to first say, IMO, everyone is welcome here be it a mixed, partie, anything that resembles a yorkie_____. As long as YOU love them and they are treated well, that's what matters. I ALSO have to say that it's REALLY weird that.... 1. Your name is Rikki (So is mine!!! spelled the same too!) 2. You have a great dane (that was gonna be my next dog when we get a house.. APTS won't let us have more than 2 dogs...) and 3. My first dog i was looking into getting was gonna be a Morkie. But my yorkie was closer and seen her first and fell in love <3.. Anyway.. WEIRD coincidences!!! Your baby is cute and loved, that is ALL that matters!!!! |
I so agree w/everyone here! Wanted too also share with you that both of mine are rescues so I have no idea if they have others in there too...would explain why Bijous bodys so long. LoL honestly, its the same for most rescue owners. We love them all!!! You are the perfect fit for our yt family....cause you love your babies!!! |
