does anyone have a yorkie mix??? - Page 5 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I looked up the word Mutt in the dictionary. Meaning mongrel. I'm sure it was years ago someone with the 1st BMW in the neighborhood that had a pure bred looked upon his neighbors dog that was less than standard and called his dog a mutt. Just because his pet was a mix didn't make his furbaby any less. Same thing goes for the term Bitch. Meaning female dog. I'm sure that was a man that gave that name also. I find that offensive also. Most meanings were given by men I'm sure, and probably, not a lover of all animals. Just because the word is there, doesnt make it less offensive. I prefer mix, as I prefer female over bitch. Yes, your whole opinion was lost with using the word Mutt. TMO.

well if i could edit the post, i'd change mutt to mix to appease those who find it offensive.

Piper is so stinkin' cute! You should be very proud of her. Let's keep this thread about the positive of mixes - there's lots of other threads that talk about cross-breeding and rescuing - and get into arguments.

I have a friend that raises yorkies and morkies. She doesn't dock the tails on morkies. She likes how the tail lays on the back.

I raise yorktese and we don't dock the tails either. I love the little floppy tails! If I had had the choice my Autumn would have her tail too. One day I will have a yorkie with her tail!

I searched and seached AND searched all of our local shelters for a small breed dog and they told me they very very rarely have them come in. I really wasnt looking for a yorkie when I found Darla who is a Borkie (yorkie/bichon) but when I did find her..I was in total love!! It certainly didnt matter that she wasnt purebred it was that she was healthy and she had good natured parents whom I could see. Darla has been a joy since day one...the best dog I have ever had..so much so that we are in the process of trying to find another yorkie or yorkie mix. Everyone's pups are beautiful!!

WHAT?! You feel guilty for rescuing and not buying a purebred?!

It's all good!

here's a small test about shelter dogs vs designer dogs. can you figure out which is which?

Hey, I thought that was a cool little test! I don't think this thread is the place for it, though. You should start a new thread, so your point can get the attention it deserves, and so this thread can also serve the purpose it was begun for.

dont ever feel guilty. if you rescued or you paid for a yorkie mix, they are babies and we love them all the same. doesnt matter who the momma and the daddy was when it comes down to it, they stole our hearts and thats all the matters

right???
