I was looking at pups one day and fell in love with a shih poo. The pet shop was very honest and marked the dog a mixed breed and yes she was expensive. I visited dog pounds and adoption agencies but I couldn't get this little shih poo off of my mind. I have heard all of the arguments for and against poo mixes, but I must say some of the things I hear are rediculous. Such as backyard breeders doing it for money...this is simply supply and demand. I don't see any breeder of pure's or mixes doing it for free so anyone with that argument really needs to examine it for some major argumentive flaws. Everyone sells them for money and they will indeed attempt to make a profit. Poo-crosses falsifying themselves as a breed...I have yet to see that happen and I searched high and low. Will they be a breed one day? Maybe...every dog was mixed with something at one point and time before they were recognized as a pure breed. Pure and mixed breeds can have potential health problems and one isn't better than the other. There are advantages for either so it depends on what you are looking for. I don't think people are uneducated about poo mixes. I fell in love with my dog at first sight. I didn't care if she was a cross. She was worth every penny I paid and more. If you don't like the dog don't buy it but why put others down who do like them? And, if you are going to put this mixes down can we at least put some critical thinking techniques applications to the argument...Just my two cents. Thanks for listening...
