    Not at all! Most people here just don't like the idea of mixing these designer breeds for no other reason except the fact that they think they're cute.

    Yeah!!! Why buy a 1000 mixed breed dog, when you can save a life my adopting and spent like 100, and the dog is already spayed and has updated on shots???
    Thanks so much Ashley for the siggy!

    No, I will NEVER be agianst mixes. I was about to get a mix today. But Sassy hated her and I couldn't adopt her. I am still very upset over this.

    I am in NO WAY against mixed breed dogs. Every dog is wonderful, reguardless of pedigree! My point is that there are so many mixed breed dogs in shelters dying there is no need to be creating more of that! The same thing goes for backyard breeders creating purebred puppies who will also just end up in shelters. I'm not against reputable breeders who care about where their dogs end up and will take them back if the home doesn't work out so they don't end up in a shelter. If there wasn't such a huge problem of unwanted animals I wouldn't be against breeding mixed dogs just because they are cute either!

    And yes all 3 of my "purebred" dogs are from backyard breeders. I didn't know better then, but I do now. Doesn't mean I regret getting them or love them any less however!
