"It is important to keep in mind that every single one of the breeds listed above is NOT a purebred. Disturbingly, somehow the breeders of these poor dogs are handing out "registry papers" or advertising their litters in the paper as registered. THESE DOGS ARE NOT PUREBREDS. The registries some breeders use to get around this are known for intentionally registering mixed breed dogs. They are all about the money, as the large majority of breeders of these dogs are.

This fad is a detriment to the overpopulation problem in this nation. People are rushing out to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars (I have seen yorkie/rottie crosses sold for 10K!!!!) on these puppies from "breeders" when they can get the same mix of dog at any shelter for so much less. So many will be euthanized because of the ignorance and greed of some people. The only reason for breeding any dog is to better an established breed, ever. Anything else does nothing but sentence thousands more puppies and adult dogs to death all over the country."
