the popular mix I keep seeing here now is pug/shih tzu there are ad's for them in like every second ad in the paper. you will also find a lot of BC/heeler mixes in the paper. as for my opinion on breeding mixes, well my definintion of a good breeder is not exactly the same as many peoples, I dont really care if a responsable person breeds mixes, its the mills and BYBs that are the problem, and just as there are BYBs and responsable breeders for purbreds there is the same for mixed breeds. I dont beleive in breeding for apearence, and as everyone here already knows I am highly against showing. however the only reason I am against showing is because it promotes breeding to an appearence standerd. yes, a good breeder breeds to a breed standerd, however I am hardly speaking of apearence. when people breed mixes for a reason I have nothing whatsoever against it. for example I support the breeding of BorderJacks, of coarse I dont suport the puppy mills and BYBs that produce then, but neither will the other flyball people! because if the parents have not made a name for themselves in the flyball world, the flyball people wont even look. the Good BorderJack breeder will NOT sell to pet homes period. they go to flyball/agility homes and thats it. if you see them in the shelter, or a petstore, they are NOT from proven lines. to me a responsable breeder is one who does not mass produce, one who has proven stock(essentaily dogs who can do what they were bred to do, and do it well that goes for both mixes and purbreds), one who stands behind their dogs and keeps in touch, one who health tests and produces healthy, well structured dogs(by ability standerds not by show standerds) I think I covered everything...lol

and nobody bother flaming me because I have heard you all before, and just as you think your guys words are falling on deaf ears, so are mine.
