'Designer' breeds is just marketing. It's basically targeting a certain group who want designer clothing and handbags, who can/will spend thousands, who could easily replace one sick puppy with another. For those greedy greedy people, it seems so easy-- put two dogs together and make $3000-$5000 each puppy. It's kind of a vicious cycle, where the puppies are the most innocent.
Or for those who don't know better and think it'd be a fun experience to cross-breed their dogs. They usually end up giving away the puppies to friends/family who don't even want puppies. There are enough dogs in the shelter that won't ever have homes. |
Not to mention a Morkie costs (not always, but a lot of the time) almost 1x the amount that a Registered AKC yorkie costs. Especially the "teacups." Which is RIDICULOUS.
